Happy Friday friends!! Today marks my first official week home alone with Sophia and I’m happy to report we both survived! Not going to lie, there was definitely a day this week that I totally lost it and was just an emotional mess – I blame sleep deprivation and hormones, but wouldn’t you know the next day I had her sleeping in my arms and I was dancing with her in her room crying happy tears! Going with the flow has never rang more true than this week! She’s also going to be one month old on Sunday – how did that happen?! I haven’t done a favorite’s post in a while and I wanted to share a few things I’m loving right now!
Jack Ryan on Amazon || You guys, Jack Ryan on Amazon Video is such a great show! We blew through 8 episodes when it premiered this past weekend. John Krasinski is definitely the right guy for the role & I’m already excited for season 2. Fun fact, it was renewed on Amazon before it even premiered because when a preview for it aired during the Super Bowl, Amazon Prime memberships went up by 400%! We absolutely loved it and it had us on the edge of our seats the entire time! Each episode is about 45 minutes and no commercials- win/win!
Book Club || Cleary I have some time to watch movies, especially since it’s been so hot here so I can’t really go outside with Sophia. That leaves some time to watch TV and movies! I knew Gary wouldn’t want to watch Book Club with me, so I was happy to get to watch it while home with the little one. It was a really cute and funny movie. Who doesn’t love Diane Keaton!? I actually thought it was a Nancy Meyers type movie – definitely a good one to watch when you just want to laugh and not think about anything.
Clara Mae Music || I watch a lot of YouTube videos while I’m feeding Sophia and stumbled upon this song from Clara Mae & Jack Miller. Can’t get it out of my head and then I proceeded to watch all her music videos. Something really fun about her voice!
New Bag || I don’t have a picture of me carrying my new purse yet, but Gary surprised me with this Louis Vuitton last week and I absolutely love it. It’s a style that is different from anything that I have and it has blush pink on the interior as well as on the handles. I also love that I can wear the bag on my shoulder or cross-body! Now I just need to get out of the house to wear it!
Recent Purchases || I’ve been doing a bit of online shopping and picked up some fun things!!
I ordered this convertible cardigan when it was 40% off for Labor Day from Nordstrom- it was on my Fall Wish List.
This pretty palette has been used a few times this week, even though it’s just my neighborhood barista that has seen my makeup look 😂The color “wild thing” is my favorite!
I also ordered two new items from H&M that are nursing friendly – they have a great maternity section online for anyone expecting! I love that I can wear the turquoise one to work as well. This dresswill be great as it starts to cool off and I can pair it with a denim jacket.
That’s all friends! I hope we are able to have our first official outing this weekend since we haven’t really taken ourselves anywhere public in a month! Wish us luck!
Oh sweet mama, I wondered how your days went. Yep, it will flow and ebb but I can tell you, each day will dawn brighter!!!!!! We want to start watching Jack Ryan, heard it is fab. Have the sweetest weekend with your family of 3! xo
I'm glad that you two survived your first week alone! I'm sure you are doing amazing! Have an excellent weekend!
Glad you survived the week!! There will be better days and worse days. Glad you're getting some tube time and some online shopping time!! XOXO, R
I keep hear about Jack Ryan and it sounds like something we would love! Def mentioning that to Nathan this weekend. Glad you had a better day after your breakdown. The adjusting after birth to EVERYTHING (life, baby, hormones) was the absolute hardest part for me. hang in there, mama! You got this <3
Aww I'm sure you are doing amazing mama! Glad you made it through your first week, hopefully most of them will be the singing and crying happy tears type of weeks! Putting Jack Ryan on the watch list after finishing Ozarks! I want to see Book Club too so I'm glad you liked it! Happy Friday girlfriend!

I am so glad you posted about the shows! I really need some new things to watch so I’m excited to check these out this weekend! Hard to believe Sophia is already a month old! I bet you I’m just loving every minute of her!! Hope you guys have an awesome weekend!
Little thing we did when we first started going out with the babies, go just a little bit before regular meal times! Servers have more time and youre not as stressed if there are tears.
We just started Jack Ryan last night and I love it! Also dying to watch Book Club!
We are absolutely loving "Jack Ryan," too! It's so great. And, don't worry, there are *still* days that I cry and am an emotional wreck and my boys are 4 and 2. Momming isn't for the faint of heart, that's for sure!
Points to Gary for that surprise bag! Good man! Its so cute!!!!
I want to dig into Jack Ryan too just because I love John K.
So what is Book Club on? Netflix? Something else? I wanted to catch that when it was in the theater – but who has time for a theater anymore 🙂
Jack Ryan is on our list to start as soon as we finish Ozark! It looks SO good! The post-pregnancy hormones are crazy in the beginning.. hang in there friend!! You're doing an amazing job!
One month? Time flies. Having a newborn is definitely a roller coaster of ups and downs. Jack Ryan was so good…we just finished it last night. I'll have to check out Book Club! Have a wonderful weekend!
Sounds like you handled your first week alone pretty darn well!! You go momma! I'm so glad to hear that Book Club & Jack Ryan were both good. They are both on my list to watch!

We are loving the Jack Ryan series, too! Hoping to catch another episode tonight! Hope you and your new little family have a great weekend!
I really want to see Jack Ryan – it sounds right up my alley! So glad that your first week alone was a success, even with some 'tougher' times. I am sure no matter the hard days they make the sweetest memories. And you know I loveeeee the LV bag. Gary did SO good!
I loved Book Club so much! I went with my grandmother, momma, aunt, and cousin to see it and we all had the best time! I love Diane Keaton so much. She's one of my favorite actresses ever. I need to buy it so I can watch it all the time.
We LOVE Jack Ryan, started watching after you posted about it!! Happy almost one month sweet baby girl!!
You are an amazing Mama!! Glad to hear things are going well overall – it's so hard to believe she's already close to a month old! You are getting closer & closer to the point where you'll get longer stretches of sleep too!! Woohoo!
congrats on surviving your first week home! that's awesome. hope it continues to go well. i really want to see book club! KC and I are always looking for new tv shows we can both enjoy (we rarely get past one episode of most lol, either he continues or i do, but rarely do we both like a show!) so we will have to give jack ryan a go. love that turquoise top from h&m, so pretty!
Your new bag is gorgeous! I want to watch Book Club, it looks cute. You've survived your first week alone, that is the hard part. You got this now!!
Jack Ryan is on my list to watch!!! So glad it's so good!

Book Club sounds super cute- I need to check it out. Mommy life is a total emotional roller coaster and a lot of new things, one day at a time- yay for making it through the first week! Love the bag Gary surprised you with!
That bag is gorgeous!! I love the blush details with the brown! Gary did great on that! <3
H&M definitely has the best selection of high street maternity here too – you have some great pics there, and I love the convertible cardigan. I'd love to watch Jack Ryan but I sickened myself so much with my Terrorism Studies I can't watch anything like that anymore, boo. Hey you are doing well with just the one hormonal day! It is soooo exhausting – but you always get those moments that makes it all sooo worthwhile. J xx
Great post!
