Friday Favorites

After a long blogging hiatus, we are trying to get back into the swing of things and have a new plan for Friday blog posts. One of our favorite influencers, Liz Adams of Hello Adams Family, does a “Friday Five” post on Fridays and I always love seeing the fun things she finds sooo we are going to do something similar. On Fridays, come here to find all the fun things we see through out the week – from recipes to dresses to something fun the kids have been loving. Happy Friday, friends!

Yeti Mug Car Insert

We’ve talked about our favorite mugs a ton in the past, but in case you are new around here, Megan and I only like to drink coffee out of the these yeti mug. It keeps your coffee so warm and perfect, once you start you can’t go back. But the only issue with them, until now, is they don’t fit in your car cup holder. But Ryan solved all of our coffee problems for school drop off and Megan’s commute to work with this Yeti Mug Insert.

Scalloped Tennis Skirt

The cutest tennis skirt I ever did see. Can’t wait to wear this Summer post baby and when I can fit into normal clothes again.

The Jennifer Aniston Salad

Apparently the salad Jen Aniston ate on the set of Friends everyday for 10 years straight? That just went viral for the second time? Obviously we can’t wait to make it. Recipe below.

3.5 cups cooked bulgur wheat
2-3 chopped small cucumber
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped mint
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
1 (15oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper
1/2 cup crumbled feta

Toss and enjoy!

Inventing Anna on Netflix

Megan recommended this new show to me and I can’t stop watching it. I only have one more episode to binge (which is harder than you’d think with two kids) and I’m sad it’s going to end.

Surfer Guy and Beach Things

If you follow along on Instagram, you probably know that I (Mallory and fam) are in Hawaii. These surfer dudes are a beach favorite. Megan gave one to Joe on his second birthday when we were in Hawaii and it has come on every beach trip with us since (he’s now 5 1/2). And of course we had to get Jack one too. The kids love them and I highly recommend if you have an upcoming beach trip. I also linked a few of our other favorite beach vacation items for the boys on Liketoknow.it like these Target Sandals and swim shirts.

Happy Friday!
