Oh Hey Friday

Happy Friday! Let’s do this….five things on Friday. 

 photo 7O8A0534.jpg

{one} It’s almost Mother’s Day! I hope you get to spend time with the important mom in your life, and if you are a mom yourself that your kiddos treat you extra special. I’m so thankful to be a mommy to two precious little ones. I know this is hard day for some of you…..please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. This post really got me thinking…totally worth checking out if Mother’s Day is painful for you. 

{two} In case you missed it, I wrote a little Mother’s Day tribute about how the mothering never ends. Babies don’t keep, but this motherhood job doesn’t have to end when they grow up.

{three} Speaking of moms, did you enter the Mother’s Day giveaway? I teamed up with some of my favorite moms to give away a Land of Nod Teepee and a $250 Nordstrom gift card! We want to make one lucky mama’s day! Details on how to enter on are my instagram (@girlintheredshoes) 


{four} I got suckered in to buying one of Hudson’s school photos….but that mischievous grin and pose just killed me! I had to! We’ve come a long way from October 2013 photos, don’t you think?


 photo WeddingPhotos187.jpg{five} Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom ever. She gets to go to Ikea for Mother’s Day without me and I’m super jealous. But thanks to my body breaking down this pregnancy and rendering me incapable of walking around Ikea, I’ll have to live vicariously through her. She has a great friend to go with and a huge list of stuff to buy for me……so should be fun right?

And now the link ups….

    What a handsome little boy! Such pretty eyes. 🙂
    Mother's Day last year wasn't very hard for me. This time last year I had just miscarried. However, the year I feel so blessed to be given the honor to celebrate with my husband and two month old boy Ben! I think everyone should remember the mother's out there who are still very much mother's but are hurting this holiday. Happy Mother's Day and congrats on the baby.

    LOL but his October 2013 pics are the best thing of my life. So good.

    Sorry you cant do IKEA 🙁 Maybe you can get a trip in after baby is here?

    The poses they make (can get!) the kids to do kills me. Mason's pictures, he had his leg tucked under his other leg, and he had the sweetest smile. I'm like "come on! how come he won't do this for me?!" They must bribe the kids so the parents buy the pictures! LOL. And I'm totally fine with it!!

Oh Hey Friday!

Hey ho Friday! Finally! Let’s do this.

{one} Hudson LOVES climbing all over me and my husband, which means that the crazy boy rough-housing stage has officially begun. Part of me thinks “Lord help me” and the other part of me says “bring it on!” #boymom

{two} This water coloring book arrived yesterday and oh my word, it’s the best! You put water in the little brush and then “paint” the pages…which magically reveal colors when wet. And then it dries, and you can do it all over again. Hudson played with this for a solid 15 minutes….hello, amazing!

{three} My aunt is better than yours. Remember last week when I posted about wanting this spike hinge cuff? Well, turns out my lovely aunt reads my blog and surprised me with the cuff in the mail yesterday. It’s my new favorite. (Thank you aunt Donna!)

{four} This weekend I have to work (boo) but other than that have zero plans. LOVE weekends like that!

{five} My friend Emily from Dear Owen sent Hudson this adorable placemat and we love it so much! One side has lots of trucks and his name, and the other side has this cute road to play on. LOVE! Emily has some beautiful things in her Etsy shop, Dear Owen & Co….be sure to check her out! (And because I know the grandmas will notice, that’s an old tattoo on Hudson’s hand…not dirt!)

Have a great weekend!

    Happy weekend!!

    This is the second time I've heard about this coloring book this week. It looks awesome! My little girl would play with something like that for HOURS I'm telling you. 🙂 And what a great idea for a placemat! I'll have to look into that. Enjoy your (other than work!) event-free weekend! -Jess @ Sweet Little Ones

  4. Courtney @ Shiraz In My Sippy Cup says

    August 8, 2014 at 12:18 pm

    M would be all over that book! I need to check it out, and while I love the spike bracelet, I find myself drooling more over your watch – gorgeous! Have a great weekend!

  5. Zoe {The Latina Lens} says

    August 8, 2014 at 12:39 pm

    That coloring book is amazing! My Girl's are not into them yet, I usually end up at the table trying to color Minnie Mouse and losing myself in it for an hour!

  6. Jess Scott says

    August 8, 2014 at 12:39 pm

    LOVE the book…Citrus Lane, perhaps? (I always love getting a sneak peak of what's to come when you post about your goodies!!!) And love the bracelet, of course…what an awesome aunt!! Happy Friday!!!

  7. Amanda Klein says

    I totally need that water color book! Love the bracelet! Aunts are the best 🙂

    Hudson's sweet little face in that first picture is too cute – as he climbs all over you, lol! And the rowdy/roughness is definitely a boy thing, right? Because Caleb is always climbing/throwing/kicking. I have to watch out – definitely not used to the craziness that comes with being a boymom! And your aunt? WHAT a doll. So sweet that she picked up that bracelet for you. It looks great! Happy Friday, friend:)

  9. Sara Moon says

    August 8, 2014 at 1:21 pm

    I love Emily!!!! She is the sweetest! I'm thinking my Cole needs a placemat. Soooo cute!

    "And because grandmas will notice…" Haha! So true. He sure is rocking that tattoo though.

    PS. Can your aunt adopt me 😉

    August 8, 2014 at 2:16 pm

    you can count me in for that watercolor book/paintbrush. love it. ps. the crayola washable markers REALLY are washable. they come off everything with just a wet wipe. but the painting sounds even better…thank you so much for linking up!!

  14. Laura Marie Keenan says

    August 8, 2014 at 2:16 pm

    Love the cuff! And watch…and link bracelet! 😉 and I need to get Liam a watercolor book now! I loved those when I was little, not sure why I haven't thought if then yet!

    August 8, 2014 at 2:29 pm

    I loved when Cruz became down with rough-housing…definitely made my boy mom dreams come true. But also because I know just how sweet he can be at other times.

    And your aunt Donna = the BEST! Love that cuff and it goes great with the MK watch. I have the same one and love it so much!

    Have a great weekend!
