a mish mash.

Do you ever have those weeks where you're certain that God is teaching you something but you don't have a clue as to what it is? I'm in the midst of that right now. This week has been less than stellar with my back still hurting and just generally not feeling like myself while N's sleep issues (from the bad storms last week) continue on. I'm so thankful for my hubby who has, in his sleep deprivation, been getting up with her in the mornings so I can sleep just a little bit longer. 

So, today's post is going to be a mish mash of my favorite Friday linkies!

My lovely sponsor, Carolyn of Silly, Happy, Sweet, just started a new linky called My Favorite Things Thursdays. She gave me special permission (wink) to do mine today and you should, too! Here is a small collection of my favorite things:

mama tumbler | iPhone case | eos lip balm

That tumbler is made by Tervis and it keeps my iced coffee cold and my hot tea hot! It's amazing! Also, I dropped my iPhone case last week and cracked the screen. I was sent a replacement with our insurance and the hubs told me to find a stronger case. That one up there is a "tough case" which means it has two layers - a rubber inside and a hard plastic shell. It is AWESOME and totally affordable! That eos lip balm is my addiction. I must have it on at all times!

Dear N,

I'm so sorry you're having bad dreams about storms. I know last week was scary for you but I promise, thunderstorms are awesome. We would love it if you would start sleeping normally. Your daddy and I feel like you're a newborn all over again with this sleep deprivation situation.

Dear Fur Baby,

Thank you for being more tolerant of your little sister these days. She loves you very much and promises to not tug on your tail anymore. I'm so happy that you two are starting to get along.

Dear Friends,

If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen this prototype for my new messy nest pendant. I'm still working on it, it's just not quite where I want it to be yet, and it will be available next week! I'm so excited that YOU are so excited about it!
