It’s Friday! I thought I would start a segment here on the blog to share with you some of my favorite things from this week! Friday favorites is going to be a super fun, quick way to spotlight blog posts I love, books I’ve read, and anything else that I’ve fallen in love with this week.

Blog Posts that are speaking to me this week

National Day of Unplugging over @ Healthy. Joyful. Parenting

I love this balanced and practical approach to the struggles we all face when it comes to tech time for our kids!

What I learned as I Muddled through Motherhood over @ Choosing Wisdom

I just love the vibe of this post. If you are looking for a post with some positive and practical advice from a mom who has been there, this is for you!

When Discipline goes Wrong (or unexpectedly right) over @ An Ordinary Mom

This one made me laugh because I have been there before! I too have “cleaned” my daughters room in anger, only to have her learn a different but equally important lesson.

Easy Ideas for a Dinosaur Easter Basket @ Productive Pete

Both of my girls are on a serious dinosaur kick right now, and I just loved the themed basket idea! She’s got some awesome ideas over there, so go check it out!

Books I’m Reading

I am finally finishing up Simplicity Parenting by Kim John (M.Ed) Payne and Lisa M Rossand. It is really speaking to me!

Once I finish that up I’m going to check out The Danish Way of Parenting: What the Happiest People in the World Know About Raising Confident, Capable Kids by Jessica Joelle Alexander!

Stuff I’m Loving

With the weather *somewhat* improving and spring just around the corner, I’m enjoying little things that help us get outside and enjoy the sunshine more!

How cute are these kids sunglasses? They come in a bunch of colors!

And some for me!  I’m always losing or breaking sunglasses, so I love when I find cute ones that are affordable!

As I’m writing this my kids are currently running in literal circles around me, so I’m thinking that lunch at the park might be a good idea today!  How adorable is this cooler? I always love packing a lunch and heading out to burn off some steam.

Tomorrow it’s supposed to be sunny, if a little chilly, but hopefully I can get the kids outside for a short hike… wish me luck. What are your weekend plans?
