5 on Friday

Happy Friday! As usual I’m linking up with the lovely ladies of The Good Life, A. Liz Adventures, Carolina Charm, and Hello Happiness for 5 on Friday…and you should too!
 {one} Our Citrus Lane box arrived this week! For those of you who don’t know about Citrus Lane, it’s a box subscription service for kiddos…and it’s basically amazing. Our box always arrives at the best time (right when I need a new distraction for Hudson!) and we love it every time! Click here for 50% off your first box plus free shipping! In our box this month was the Prince’s Bedtime Book and CD from Barefoot books. We LOVE getting books in our box and this one is cool becuse it has a CD that goes along with it. Two tumblers from Green Eats, a free custom Mother’s Day greeting card from Treat, lemon verbena dish soap from Mrs. Meyers Clean Day…and oh my word, I love Mrs. Meyers so so so much! It smells divine and it almost makes me enjoy doing the dishes. Almost. And we also got some tools from Green Toys. We already have some of the same tools from our Green Toys tool box (which we love!)…but I was still happy to see these in our box….now mama or daddy can hammer and work with the tools right along Hudson, which he loves. Again, click here for %50 off your box!
 {two} I’m working on another day in life post and I just have to share this little gem. Man, I love this boy. Picking him up from school is usually the highlight of my day…except on days when he does not want to leave because they are doing something fun….and I have to drag him out. I sure hope they don’t think I’m a child abuser or something!
 {three} During my mama vacation yesterday I had to get out of the house (so that the cleaning lady could come) so I did what any normal person would do. Went shopping. But it was totally necessary, right? First world problems.
 {four} Hudson was NOT a fan of the bunny ears, despite my offer of a fun photo shoot.
{five} I was supposed to paint my hallway yesterday during my day off….but I didn’t. This is seriously the LONGEST painting job in the history of time.

Happy Friday!

    Glad you got a day off! And got some retail therapy in! Having to get out of the house is the best excuse to hit the mall… Happy weekend!

    I can totally relate to painting projects. The dresser for the nursery is sitting downstairs waiting to be painted. It sounded like such a great idea a few months ago :). Good luck with your hallway!

    We got the same in our Citrus Lane box except instead of tools we got a flower set. She's been playing with them in her bath and watering them with her watering can. We love getting our box monthly. Not only a surprise for her, but I get equally, if not more, excited! Hope ya'll have a great weekend!

    When I read you were going to paint your hall on your "me" day, I thought that was very generous of you to use your special time to do that. I am glad to hear you didn't!!! I hope you did something more relaxing like watched tv or took a nap!

    Ha Ha- He looks cute in his bunny ears even if he didn't like them!

    I have a ridiculous amount of painting to do and just can't bring myself to do it. I despise painting!!

    Happy Weekend 🙂

    I don't fault you at all for not wanting to paint on your day off. I wouldn't have either! Shopping def sounds more fun:) Hope you guys have a good weekend!

    How cute is the book in this month's Citrus Lane box? We've read it every night since we opened the box last week. I love the picture of you two in your bunny ears is really cute 🙂
