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! 

Happy Friday blog friends!! Before I dive into my weekly wins, I must mention that Brody has officially stopped taking two naps. We have been doing one nap all week long and all I have to say is LIFE CHANGING. We used to go out and about in-between his naps but now if we venture out of the house, it’s before AND after his one nap of the day which just so happens to be right smack dab in the middle of the day. I don’t like it. Plus, I feel like I am losing a lot of my alone time that I used to have.  Ok, enough venting. The positive: most of his friends are already on one nap so now we can hang out with everyone again!! That’s a HUGE plus!! Onto this week’s WEEKLY WINS… spoiler alert: besides for the napping transition, it was a great week!! 

LOVE: 
My husband! Ha! I know that’s totally to be presumed since we are married and all, BUT this week I fell in love with the hubs all over again! {not that I ever stopped, let’s be honest here} We celebrated our FOUR YEAR {!!!!!!!!} anniversary yesterday and not only did I get gorgeous surprise flowers from him during the day {which, shocking!!} but we also had the most wonderful dinner with Brody at Wildfire last night! Tonight we are celebrating just the two of us while my parents babysit for the little man. Looking forward to that! 

BUY:
Soo not sure if this counts because I have yet to buy these Rag and Bone jeans but from the feedback I got via instagram {thank you to everyone who gave me their input, btw!!}, I am pretty sure I am going to have to! I tried them on over the weekend and since the holes weren’t actual holes and were covered underneath I wasn’t sure I was in love. BUT, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them since. They are on the pricey side so I am still debating but if I can’t stop obsessing over them in a few days, I am going to bite the bullet. Oh, and they fit like.a.gloveeeeeeee.

DO:
You guys, we went to Lincoln Park Zoo this week with a few friends and their babes and literally had THE BEST time ever! I am just putting it out there that we will probably be going every week all summer long. The kids farm area of the zoo is literally the cutest thing you ever did see and they had a music man playing for the kiddies all morning long! Then, it was Wednesday so the Green City Market {which I mentioned in this month’s Monthly Musts post} was open too. We all had lunch together there and it truly made for the most perfect little morning!!

EAT:
The most amazing salmon you’ll ever eat! Inspired by my friend Lauren who makes honey bbq salmon {i must give credit where credit is due!}, this week I made agave bbq salmon! RECIPE: marinate the salmon in 3 parts bbq sauce to 1 part agave nectar for a few hours first. Cover a baking pan with tin foil and lay the marinated salmon on top, bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes… watch it towards the end. Then, broil for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite vegetable! Um, YUM!

GIVE: 
Remember last week when I told you that I couldn’t tell you what I gave my brother for his bday because I didn’t give it to him yet?!!? Well, we ended up giving him a Nordstrom gift card. He is literally the hardest person in the world to buy a gift for and I am not kidding! You guys, gift cards are truly the only way to go with him, so that’s what we did! Now he can get whatever he wants at one of his favorite stores! Did you know that you can purchase a Nordy gift card online here!?!

READ: 
Considering yesterday was our anni, I thought it might be fun to go through the I Adore What I Love archives and read the post I wrote 10 months into our marriage. I actually didn’t write much because the majority of the post is pictures but we had just received our wedding album in the mail and I was uuuuuber excited!! Naturally, I shared a bunch of my fave wedding photos {including one of my absolute favorite favorites seen below} on the blog! Click HERE to take a look at all the special pics from the second best day of my life {the first was having the Brodster, duh!} 

TECH: 
Ok, so I’ve always used Amazon Photos to backup my iPhone pics but recently I was introduced to Google Photos and honestly, it’s better. It automatically organizes your photos by people, places, and things. And if you want to find a specific one in the bunch, all you need to do is search by what you remember about that photo. For example, if I took a photo of a balloon, and I have thousands and thousands of photos backed up, instead of going through them all to find that one specific pic, all I need to do is type “balloon” in the search field and it will come up. You can edit and share photos within the app too. GENIUS. For more info and to download the app today, click here.

WATCH:
JoJo graced us with her presence for TWO nights this week! It was kind of a dream come true for Bachelor{ette} Nation! Let’s just talk about this Chad guy for a second. Is he for real? He obviously went on the show knowing he’d be characterized as the bad guy and I think he’s playing into that role for the camera’s sack. Just my point of view. But instead of focusing on him, let’s chat about the good guys. Right now, my front runners are Jordan and Chase. I like both of them a lot!! What about you?? Tell me in the comments of this post!! 

WEAR:
This top has quickly become my ABSOLUTE favorite! It’s so comfy, so soft, so flowy {in a good way}, and effortlessly adorable! The back is open which gives it a touch of something special and also makes it different and cool. I chose to wear a white stretchy tank under it because that’s what I always do but I give you full permission to wear it sans tank so it shows off a little back skin. To be honest, it’s cuter like that but I’m just ridiculous and don’t feel normal without a stretchy tank under all of my tops. Ha! Either way guys, you NEED this top. It’s perfect for those 60-something-degree cooler days of summer. I’m in love! Oh, and size down. Shop it here.
