Happy Friday! I’m excited to give a refresh to my Friday finds posts that I try to post every week and share a bit about our week, articles I’ve liked online, things I’m thinking about buying and what I’m excited about for the weekend.

5 Things In My Cart

I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of durable slippers that will last me through the winter — I’m on the fence between these and these!

My friend Beth showed me these black mules and they are so fun and I also REALLY want these gold mini heels!!

These overalls are actually no longer in my cart and on the way to me! I missed out when I first shared them last week because they sold out in most sizes but have been restocked and I really hope they fit!

Always on the hunt for a new mask or peel and Rub-A-Dub Refining Peel Gel by Saturday Skin  and their Spotlight Brightening Mask are at the top of my list – it was listed in Allure’s top beauty products to try in 2018 and just recently launched.

5 Highlights

This week was a good one, the start of a fresh new year! All of our weeks are pretty nice right now since we are home with our 3 week old Flora James– but I loved ringing in 2018 with champagne risotto + shrimp and a bottle of bubbly in our PJs.

We got out of the house a bit this week — I took a SOLO trip to Target and brought Piper to the library.

It SNOWED yesterday and I loved playing outside with Piper and then enjoying hot cocoa (and I added a shot of espresso to mine — so good). I love experiencing new things through Piper’s eyes, she was full of joy out there in the blistery cold running around with our dog.

Flora has been sleeping so well that’s a definite highlight– I’m working on a post that will go up on Monday about our non-schedule and routine. I’m feeling like such a lucky mama lately and am so grateful for this gift of motherhood, even when I’m tired and my patience is running thin. I shared all of the products we’ve been using + loving in our first 3 weeks HERE.

And… this weekend I’m looking forward to having no set plans — hopefully working on cleaning out my office more (you may have seen it’s scary state on Instagram!!), taking a long bath tonight + diving into the book I just started reading.
