Friday Favorites: 5 Things I am Loving this Week

February 5, 2021 Leave a Comment

Friday Favorites

Here are my Friday favorites!

This week I am bringing you my latest Netflix

obsession and gift idea!

Workout Clothes

Gaiam: These workout clothes are comfortable, fit well and move with you. I love how they have a variety of options available and are not just made for size 2 women. I love all the styles that they offer as well as the versatility. If you are looking for some new fitness clothes to add to your collection, make sure you check out Zulily.

Entertainment

Bridgerton: Obsessed is an understatement. Honestly, I was skeptical that I would like this show because I am not a big fan of shows set long before I was born but I was pleasantly surprised. If you have not checked out this show on Netflix, it is an absolute must ASAP. Now if only Netflix can hurry up and make a second season so I can binge watch that too.

Product that makes my life easier

AirPods: I am not sure how I ever lived without these before I got them for Christmas. It’s so easy to pop these in and do what I need to do whether it be workout or clean around the house. Don’t have to worry about wires. Plus I love how quickly they charge!

Book

The Cinderella Pact: This book is one of my all time favorites. It is such an easy read with a fun premise. If your looking for a feel good book to spend a weekend reading, make sure to check this one out.

Baby gift idea

Memory Box: This memory box is the perfect way to store those little baby keepsakes. It’s compact and has a spot for everything. Perfect for your soon to be addition or as a baby shower gift. I stocked up on a couple to give away as baby shower gifts to some friends currently expecting.

I I never thought that I would struggle to conceiv I I never thought that I would struggle to conceive, especially after having two children already. 

Knowing when my most fertile days are is a must and I am able to do that easily with @mirafertility. 
Did you know that your estrogen and LH levels change prior to ovulation? Yeah, neither did I. 

The Mira Fertility Plus tracks these for you as well as helps you know your cycle phases, hormone patterns and both fertile and infertile days. The best thing about @mirafertility is they take the guess work out of when the best time to conceive is by being the only fertility tracker that measures your actual LH and estrogen hormone levels and giving you a fertility score so you@know exactly when your fertile days are! 
Use the code lifeasdaniellenicole to save $25 of a fertility starter kit for yourself! 

Tell me one thing you were most surprised about when trying for a baby.

Taking a much needed break while the toddler naps Taking a much needed break while the toddler naps to just breathe. Chasing her around all day can be absolutely exhausting which means by the time I get to sit for a minute I am starving! 

@dunkin has me covered with a little afternoon pick me up with their delicious coffee and a new Snackin’ Menu. You can choose from stuffed croissants, stuffed bagel minis, a gluten-free brownie and Snackin’ Bacon available for a limited time at select locations! 
Pair these with your favorite coffee, my current fav is the Explorer Blend, for the perfect combination. So whether you are on the go or taking a mini afternoon break, make sure to grab something from the @dunkin Snackin’ Menu! 

Any guesses on how long my toddler break will last? I’ll give you a hint; not long! #toddlermomlife

Happy thirty-something birthday to me!! Birthdays Happy thirty-something birthday to me!!

Birthdays used to be a big deal to me, now not so much. Getting older was scary but as the years have gone on, I look at another year older means another year of growth. 

Growing as a person, a mom, a friend, a wife, and growing in my own personal goals. My life is pretty damn good and I am loving every second of growing older with the amazing people around me. So cheers to another year around the sun! 

Also, getting a photo with balloons is about as hard as getting a photo with your children just in case anyone was wondering! ❤️

Anyone else hate when their toddler uses their clo Anyone else hate when their toddler uses their clothing to blow their nose?! Fully prepared for cold and flu season over here with the help of @scottiestissues. (ad)

The extra strength and softness as well as the beautiful prints and patterns help this mama keep the sniffles at pay. Especially with this little one of mine who is constantly trying to wipe her nose on just about everything.
 
Looking to prepare you and your family for the cold and flu season? Check out my latest blog post (link in bio) on tips to do just that!

Double tap if your toddler does the same thing! I can’t have the only one 😆

Sunday’s are for being lazy, well as lazy as you Sunday’s are for being lazy, well as lazy as you can be when your solo parenting two kids all day and night. 

Sharing this space of my home because soon this dining room table will be replaced by what I think is the perfect new addition. But I want to remember the imperfections and memories this old one holds. Anyone else feel a sense of nostalgia about their home furniture or is it just me?

And to note the vase and fake stems are from @walmart and cost less then $10 for it all!

Our @icecastles_ adventure was a success! The kids Our @icecastles_ adventure was a success! The kids loved all the fun ice slides, hidden pathways and thousands upon thousands of icicles frozen together to create this winter escape.
Looking to visit one near you? Here are my tips to make your visit fun and exciting.

1. Dress for the weather. Snow pants, hats, boots and warm clothing are a must. We spent over an hour there and the children only complained once they were cold.

2. Mask up. Masks are required. We took ours off briefly for the photo, making sure there was plenty of distance between us and others.

3. Book ahead. You can book your reservation online and it is highly suggested. Times sell out quickly during vacation weeks and on weekends. The day we went was sold out. 

4. Bringing a really small child? Make sure to bring a sled to pull them on or put them in a carrier. Strollers will not move through the snow and ice. 

5. Visit at night if you can. We didn’t this year but in years past we have gone at night  when the Ice Castles are lit up with lights making it that more magical. 

Lastly, have fun and stop by the little fire pits set up throughout to warm up.

Have you been to the @icecastles_ this year? What did you think?!

Happy love day from my cutest little Valentine’s Happy love day from my cutest little Valentine’s. 
I love how much they love each other and want to spend time together despite their age gap (almost 7 years). 
And they remind me often to celebrate our love for each other every day! ❤️

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? What are your plans? Swipe to see some extra cuteness from my littles!
