5 on Friday

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

  High five for Friday! Today I’m linking up with the lovely ladies of The Good Life, Carolina Charm, A. Liz Adventures, and Hello Happiness and you should too! Let’s get this party started…

{one} Our Citrus Lane box came yesterday and totally brightened Hudson’s day! And mine too. Citrus Lane is a subscription box of goodies for your little one…and we’ve never been disappointed with the fun surprises in our box. The surprise is half the fun! This month we got this super fun Shape Sorter from Plan Toys that will come in handy on the go since the shapes are secured with a cord so they won’t get lost. One of my favorites in this box is the Zebra Lunchie bag from Skip Hop. It is too stinkin cute for words and will be prefect for Hudson’s lunch and snacks on the go.

As soon as Hudson saw the fruit pouch from Peter Rabbit Organics it was ALL over it and I couldn’t get it opened fast enough. It was gone in minutes. Upset Tummy & Nausea Relief packets
were also in the box (and are all natural!) so they went right in to my
medicine cabinet. We loved our box this month! I love getting
introduced to new products! If you want to try Citrus Lane you can get $10 off if you click here….such a great deal!

{two} How come when you get your hair cut it always looks amazing that day….and then it can never be re-created. I tried and tried and it’s just not the same. Someone teach me your ways!

 {three} I haven’t even seen Frozen but have been singing “Let it Go” at the top of my lungs all week thanks to Pandora and my love for Disney music! I’m totally buying the movie as soon as it comes out on blu-ray!

{four} Hudson signed “please” this week for the first time! This was so exciting because even though Hudson “talks” all the time he doesn’t say very many words, so we are always working with him. Needless to say, it made my day! And I captured it with my phone (“please” is rubbing your chest in a circular motion). We are still working on “thank you.”

{five} Kate Spade Acrylic Straws. Need I say more?

Happy Friday!

    I saw Frozen a good couple of times in theaters and it really is all the hype says it to be. Amazing. I will be buying it as well as soon as it comes out!

    I love toddler sign language. My daughter talks up a storm and has a wide array of words, however to get her point across she will also sign them. Her favorites, please, thank you, more, all done, and mommy. It's like the more way she can say it the more important it is to her. Cutest thing ever to see them using their hands and minds:)

    That's so good that Hudson signed!! I really want to teach Aiden to do that, but I'm a little unsure where to begin.

    We haven't seen Frozen yet either, but my husband already bought the soundtrack, and we've been jamming out to it almost every day. Happy Friday!

    YAY for Hudson learning "please"! That is so awesome!! Have a great weekend!!

    I don't know why but Hudson looks so grown up today in your pictures — like I think he's is bigger and more toddler looking than the last ones you posted! We loved our Citrus Lane box this month too! The lunch box was my favorite!!

  13. Jen says

    January 17, 2014 at 3:05 pm

    That Citrus Lane box looks great! I hear so many people talk about them, but have never ordered them for my mini! Might need to check that out! Your hair always looks fab!!! 🙂 Happy Weekend!

    I love your hair! You are right, though, I can never seem to re create what the stylist did either! Hudson is a cutie!

    I love the Kate Spade straws! They will add color and fun to any drink!

    I think your hair looks great! Ask your stylist to show you exactly how to do it…sometimes that helps!

    I got the citrus lane box because of you, and every month I am SO pleased with the options. SJ always loves everything that comes in them.

    I also NEED those acrylic straws in my life.

    I can't wait to see Frozen too! There are so many movies I'm waiting to go to DVD since we don't make it to the theater as much anymore!

  20. E Hayes says

    January 17, 2014 at 7:00 pm

    I cant wait to see Frozen. Please is my fav sign of Ashlynns (even though she says it now) just rubs her shirt with both hands like its dirty. Whatever works 😉

    I really should join citrus lane, always love everyone's goodies!

    Oh, and I have the same phone case 🙂

  21. Amanda {Kids and Cabernet} says

    I just found your blog through the 5 on Friday link-up. That Citrus Lane box looks a-mazing! I've seen Frozen and it's my favorite Disney movie by far. You'll love it!

    Please send those straws my way, love. And they match my planner. It was meant to be. We watched frozen on watch32.com this week and I loved it. I'm right there with you singing at the top of my lungs, Avery loves it. And yay for Husdon signing please! When Avery does it, it looks like she's wiping her hans on her shirt! Happy Weekend!

    LOVE the Citrus Lane box! About to check that out. Totally get the whole hair thing! It NEVER looks as good when I do my hair as it does when my hair stylist does. I loved Frozen!!! It made me so reminiscent of my favs- Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. Yay for signing. My son just actually started saying "peez" this week. It's baby steps at our house. He's been in speech therapy since September.

    Every time you post a pic of a Citrus Lane box I think I should start getting them! Carter has the zebra lunch box and backpack. They're so adorable every day at daycare!

    And the straws…may be the perfct valentines gift for me!?

    Hello from Five on Friday. I love the red hair and the hoodie… I have the same comfy one from Old Navy 🙂 and Frozen… I have 3 girls and that was definitely the best Disney movie thus far. Your little man is precious and I look forward to following you. It's nice to meet you!
