Weekly Wins // #6

Weekly Wins is a series where I touch on my “wins” from the week in the categories of love, buy, do, eat, give, read, tech, watch and wear. It’s 100% my favorite post to write. Enjoy! 

Spring is in the air!! Literally all week I’ve had that eager feeling inside when you know warmer weather and lots of sunshine is near! It actually gives me the chills thinking about it! The mild temps have me like… {insert hands up in the air praying emoji}. Take a look at my weekly wins!!

LOVE: 
Brody’s banana butt! Ha! To be more specific, while I do LOVE his UHdorableeee tushy, I am also obsessed with his Honest Company diapers! Not only are these diapers THE CUTEST THINGS IN THE WORLD, but they are free of fragrances, lotions, and latex, which means I never have to worry about Brody getting a diaper rash or harsh chemicals rubbing against his most precious body parts throughout the day! Full disclosure: they are kind of expensive if you buy them in the store but if you order online through the company’s website {HERE}, you get a great deal! And I’ve done the math… it turns out that they really aren’t much more than any other diaper out in the market after all. But they are green and clean for your precious baby!! 

BUY:
Summery PJ sets!! Ever since the warmer weather rolled in {which I’m not complaining about by any means} our house has been SO HOT. During the day the air conditioning works just fine but at night, it’s brutal! Even with the overhead fan on! So I thought it was time to buy some new pj’s… and I’ve always loved me a stylish top and bottom set. Here are my faves that don’t break the bank: 

DO:
Traveled to Rochester {where my hub is from!} over the weekend to surprise my father-in-law on his 60th birthday! I couldn’t say anything to you guys before we left last week because of the surprise aspect of the whole thing but man, was I dying inside to tell you about it! My father-in-law literally had NO IDEA that we were coming and we totally caught him off guard! While traveling with a baby is never ideal, Brody is such a great plane-goer and we had a really fun time while we were there. Below are some of my favorite pics from the busy busy weekend…

WHAT BRODY WORE: Camo Joggers {use code ROMA for 25% off}; V-neck Zara Sweater {no longer available}, similar here; volume-controlled kids headphones.

PS: Brody is watching Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood which I downloaded via Amazon Prime Video. Just another reason why being an Amazon Prime member is THE BEST! If you aren’t a member already, click the below banner to sign up with a free trial {it basically pays for itself in the end!!}

WHAT BRODY WORE: White pocket tee; Sweatpants {not available online}, similar here.

EAT:
More like in the category of DRINK… if you own a Keurig, this weekly win is for you! My bestie Alyse told me about the Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate K-Cups and not a joke, I bought them and have been drinking one once a day! When I’m hungry, it makes me full and when I’m cold, it makes me warm. Plus, it curbs my midday chocolate cravings like whoa! Have I sold you yet? You should probably try them for yourself because they HIT.THE.SPOT. {did I mention it’s gluten free, too?! top with some gf marshmallows and you’re good to go!}

Shop this oversized Chicago mug HERE.

GIVE: 
This is more of a hubby give-win. He was traveling for work this week in Dallas and came home with the MOST adorable cowboy boots for the Brodster! When I saw them I just about died! B can’t wear them yet but we will be patiently awaiting the day that he grows into them. The hubby did good!

Shop similar cowboy boots HERE.

READ: 
Today is National Napping Day! And Casper Mattress, the company who makes the mattress that I’m absolutely OBSESSED with {read all my reasons for loving it so much here and then use my referral link to take $50 off the price of a mattress here} contacted me to share their Napping 101 Guide with you guys! Their goal is to spread awareness on the importance of getting in a good nap, and I fully support their mission since I am self-proclaimed napper… always have been and always will be {just talk to my friends and family}! Sleep is so powerful and incredibly important you guys, so take a look at this guide and start napping! As if you need an excuse!! 

TECH: 
My new favorite app: Foodie. I know some people believe taking pics of your food was so yesteryear but I don’t think it will ever go out of style! Seriously though, who doesn’t want to look at foodie photos?!?! {except for maybe a nauseous preggo, perhaps?} Anyways, this app has the perfect filters for ANY food photo op. It makes the colors of the food on your plate pop and brightens the whites as well. I’ve been using it all week and have not been disappointed! {just look at my hot chocolate pic above… yep, took it with the foodie app! and the pic below of my dinner from Saturday night – YUM}

WATCH:
I cannot stop thinking about the previews for the Bachelor finale which NEWS FLASH: is on this coming Monday night!! Honestly, I watched the Woman Tell All {because duh!} but the previews for next week were the only time when I felt seriously glued to my TV all night long {well, I was into the bloopers too! I always love me some funny bloopers}. Not sure if I ever mentioned this on the blog but in past seasons I would go online and find out the outcome weeks before the finale aired… but not this season. NOPE! I wanted to be surprised and boy am I on my tippy toes filled with anxiety and anticipation of what’s going to happen!!!!! Monday can’t come fast enough!!

WEAR:
THIS SHIRT. Obsessed. Only $28 and not only do I feel put together while wearing it, I also feel really skinny in it! LOL but it’s true! It’s the perfect casual shirt! I wore it on the plane to the Roch {see pics above!} because it’s the most ideal travel tee EVER, if you ask me! Soft and comfy, thin and loungy, but most importantly, really cute no matter what you pair it with! I also wore it out Wednesday night when I went out with a bunch of my girlfriends for dinner! You should probably get it too… shop it HERE.

I’m excited for the weekend! Chicago celebrates St. Patty’s Day tomorrow and the river will be dyed green in the morning, and then I’m going to the Wine Riot {which I talked about in my Monthly Musts: March Edition} at night! On Sunday we spring forward with a time change! Who’s ready for longer days and shorter nights?!? I know I am!!

 Tell me in the comments how you’ll be spending YOUR weekend!?!
