It's often intriguing to me to see what people buy from Amazon. We have Amazon Prime, so I do quite a bit of shopping from there. A lot of my Christmas gifts were from Amazon, partially thanks to family members having wish lists, but also because it was just easy. Free shipping, yes please! Over the last few months, I've also made some purchases for myself and the kids, so I thought I'd share. Maybe you're curious like I am!


Happy Friday! Della at Della Devoted, Katie at Cup of Tea, Tif at Bright on a Budget, and I want to welcome you to High Five for Friday! Each week we share the best parts of the week and hope you'll join us!

Saturday we took the boys to the Playhouse for their first play! We saw a fun version of the Piggie and Elephant books and they all really enjoyed the show. It was just the right length for them (30 minutes, 15 minute break, 30 minutes), and we went out to dinner afterwards!



So, this month I got confused... very confused. 1) I went to Target once and bought something, but then told myself later I would go back and actually shop for $10 at Target. Then, when the time came, I thought I'd already shopped for $10 at Target and bought a couple more things... and I took no pictures of either shopping trip... so this is a pieced together $11 at Target with no photos of what I did't get.

2) I was supposed to post this last Monday and totally thought otherwise, so sorry if you came to link up and I wasn't here.

Anyways... here's what I got!

Y'all remember Book It as a kid? I guess they still do it! Henry has been getting Book It coupons for free pizzas off and on this school year! I keep forgetting to redeem them, but we got one cashed in this week!



We recently moved some rooms around in our house. Calvin is now down with his brothers, so we're turning one room in our home to a designated office for Russ and me. We both have our side gigs, and we've both been operating in difficult spaces since we moved into our home almost three years ago. 

Sometimes in the winter, getting dressed can be difficult. I hate being cold and sometimes if I'm just out running errands, I know I won't even take my coat off so it doesn't matter what top I am wearing underneath! Today I wanted to share an adorable winter coat I got from Shein! It adds that perfect touch of style when you're out and about this winter.

Russ and I went to his work holiday party last Friday night. They did a murder mystery. I'd never done one before and it was fun! I wasn't the murderer but people thought I was!


By now you have to know that I love me some LuLaRoe! When I saw distributors talking about a new style being released, I had to check it out! Today I'm wearing the new LuLaRoe Maria dress!



Today I'm linking up with Erin to share some facts about me for 10 on the 10th! Enjoy!



Today I'm over at Des Moines Mom Blog sharing tips for cleaning out your closet! I just cleaned mine out last week because we moved rooms!
Happy Friday! Sorry I was missing in action last week. I can explain!

So, the reason I was missing last Friday was because we were in the hospital with Calvin. He spiked a HIGH fever and his white blood cell count was super high, too, so they admitted us. We were there for two days and they never really could figure out what was causing it, but we are glad it wasn't anything major (that we know of) and that it was over winter break so we didn't have to miss any work. I'm so thankful to both of our families for stepping in so Russ and I could both be at the hospital.

2017 was a great year here on the blog and with life in general! Today I wanted to share the best posts from this year! Most of them are the ones with the most page views, but a couple are just my favorites! Did you catch all of them? If not, go back and give them a read! 



3 Ways to Style the LuLaRoe Gigi - This one had the most page views on the blog this year! If you know me, you know I love LuLaRoe, so I was happy to see this!


DIY To Do List Center - I love organizing and can't wait to share some organizing things with you in 2018! This one was a popular post and I use this organizer at work by my desk!


Creative Holiday Cards - Sad news, we had some chaos around the holidays and these cards still need to be sent out! #fail! So, they may end up being New Years cards, but they're still fun!


Stitch Fix #4 Surprisingly, this Stitch Fix review got tons of love! This reminds me I need to schedule another fix!


What About the Boys Who Like Princesses? This post really came from my heart and it seems like my audience loved it too.  Embracing Them For Who They Are didn't get quite as many views but was still popular, too. 


10 Things I Love About My Home This post makes me happy because honestly, I'm still very content with our home! We are making a couple changes in the new year and it will be fun to share them with you.

What did you think of these posts? Were there any you really loved that didn't make the list?
