Friday Favorites and a Birthday Wish List


Happy Friday! It’s the last Friday of February and I’m gearing up for my favorite month – the start of spring, my birthday and our anniversary! 




We enjoyed some spring-like weather over last weekend and spent a good chunk of our days outside! Sophia is very much in the “do it on my own” stage, so the walks take three times as long ๐Ÿ˜‚ We ate lunch at our favorite family friendly place, Max Brenner’s – no joke, their waffle fries are the best ever!


Monday we had dinner with friends atGlass Housein Cambridge and holy yum – the food was so good and the portions were crazy big! We split the crispy cauliflower and all had something different for our main entrees, but I think my bolognese was the best, although the others would argue their dishes were the best! 


Have you watched Love is Blind on Netflix?! For anyone that hasn’t it’s a three part series released in waves. The final episode aired yesterday and oh my gosh – this social experiment was so fascinating. It basically takes 90 day fiance, married at first sight & the bachelor and rolls it all into one! I was absolutely hooked and my jaw was on the floor during the final episode. Worth the watch!




To be totally honest, I have had the hardest time coming up with ideas for my birthday. I think I have finally reached the age where I would much rather have experiences rather than things, but when push comes to shove, I was able to find a few things that I really wouldn’t mind for my birthday! 

This beautybio 3 phase treatment system has been on my wish list for months!

How cute is this water bottle? I’m the worst at water intake and at least this would be fun way to get that H2O in! 

Cue the “you know you’re an adult when” remarks, because a handheld vacuum would be awesome!  

It wouldn’t be a wish list of mine without some sort of bag! I’m in this weird stage with Sophia where doesn’t really need a diaper bag anymore, but I still need a tote big enough to carry some essentials for her. 






Hope you have the best weekend!

    You have a fun month coming up! All that food looks amazing!!!! Especially those waffle fries. Yum! I hate been thinking about getting a similar bottle to force myself to drink more. I always just forget, as silly as that sounds!

    March will be such a fun month for you! I have a hand held vacuum and I'm not kidding you when I say it was my favorite Christmas gift (2 Christmases ago), haha. I'm with you though — I have a harder time coming up with a true wish list these days. Experiences are the BEST.

    So many fun things on deck for y'all! You're going to have a great month! And now I'm adding Love is Blind to my watch list. I bet B would enjoy it, too, since he likes The Bachelor. Haha.

    That water bottle is cute. I need that for the motivation. Love that purse. I still haven't seen Love is Blind, but everyone raves about it and how amazing awful it is. I guess I will watch it this weekend. Or some of it! Have a great weekend!

    I was ogling the fries… of course they are Max Brenners! I have the hardest time with birthday lists, too. I do love that bag you found. The color and the shape are different – and I love a different bag!

    I really like that bag! ๐Ÿ™‚ Would be a great birthday gift! Your daughter is so cute with that hat too ๐Ÿ™‚

    I've heard a few people talk about Love is Blind but haven't added it to my list yet – my Netflix list is so long as it's rare for me to find time to watch with two little ones, haha!

    Hope that you are having a great weekend ๐Ÿ™‚ We spent the day with my mum yesterday shopping the sales for the leap day (and getting some great toy bargains we've put away for the kids birthdays!)
