Fun Facts Friday {3/6}

By Courtney 41 Comments

1. Well hello! Long time, no chat? I didn’t realize how long it had been since I took a day off during the week but honestly, this has just been somewhat of a crazy week. My mind is running a mile a minute and basically just ALL over the place right now. I’m just hoping I’ll be able to get a full nights’ sleep this weekend without the whole “I’m awake and now I can’t get back to sleep because my brain won’t shut off.” Isn’t that the worst?

2. Lucas has yet to learn that, usually, we try to smile when we selfie…

selfie

We sent this photo to my dad yesterday to cheer him up after his shoulder surgery (keep powering through, Big Guy!), but no matter how hard I tried, Lucas was not interested in giving Papa a smile. Ahh well.

3. Last week, we got the chance to try out a delivery service from Farmbox Direct. Have you guys heard of them?

Farmbox Direct

Farmbox Direct is a farm to table, CSA style, USDA certified organic produce delivery. Each delivery is customizable and we were sent their small produce box. It contained quite a bit of fruit and veggies!

Farmbox Direct

I was really impressed with the fruit, and a few of the veggies went bad a little quick, but overall, it seems like a really cool concept.

4. Here’s a little quote for your Friday, in case you missed it on Instagram.

potential quote

I was quite a fan of that one. Who else is with me?

5. I have totally been loving this “Better than a Bra” Lace Bandeau that is pictured in the photo above, which I received from ThirdLove.

ThirdLove Better than a Bra

Please excuse the unwashed mess of a head of hair…I snoozed a few too many times.

I was recently invited to choose some new lingerie* (ooo, so fancy, right?!) so I spent some time browsing their site. Since I’m more about practicality than fancy-schmancy, I decided to just go with this bandeau and a pair of matching thong bottoms (are we getting too TMI here? Sorry).

ThirdLove Better than a Bra

I had never previously heard of the company, but I will say that the quality of what I received was amazing, and they have a pretty sweet selection, too! If any of you are interested, ThirdLove is also offering $10 off any order with the code “SWEETT10.”

*The lingerie was provided to me free of charge.

6. Yesterday was another PJ Day for Lucas at daycare and, I’ll tell ya, I am totally on board with ‘em. And I get super jealous every time because I, too, want to partake in PJ day. Like, every day. That’s not too much to ask, is it?

7. We are officially TWO WEEKS away from spring. Two weeks! Even though I’m sure it’s not going to seem like it for a while (at least up here) knowing that we’re close is giving me hope.

someecard spring

Call me a broken record, but I am just so. over. this. winter.

8. I’ve been thinking a lot about social media lately – both the good and the bad (maybe it’s the Curt Schilling story that started it?) – and about where I spend the most time. Once I started looking at it a bit more, I realized that I most definitely spend the most time browsing Instagram, followed by Facebook, then probably Pinterest, and last would likely be Twitter.

someecard social media

I’m curious…for all of you who are on social media, which outlets do you tend to spend the most time on?

9. Daylight Savings Time. Ohhhh, I am not ready for you! I can get on board with gaining an extra hour of sleep. But losing one? Ay yi yi…and ya never know how it’s going to go with the kiddos either, of course. I honestly was sitting for a good 15 minutes trying to figure out, “Okay, if 7am is really going to now be 8am, does that mean Lucas is going to wake up an hour later or earlier than usual.” Maybe I’m just dense, but I really had the hardest time figuring that all out.

10. You guys know what holiday is coming up…?! Jay and I have always enjoyed a good St. Patrick’s Day party (Kegs and Eggs or green Jello- shots anyone?) but since our partying days aren’t anything like what they used to be, I’m thinking I’m going to keep my festivities simple with a little baking. Specifically, my Marbled Irish Cream Cupcakes

Marbled Irish Cream Cupcakes

If you haven’t tried them before, you absolutely must. The Irish Cream Buttercream frosting? Ahhhh so good!

11. After months of going back and forth, I finally decided to bite the bullet and bought myself a starter kit of essential oils from Young Living.

young living essential oils

I really haven’t had much time yet to really dive through and experiment and/or read up on all of them, but I’ve been using a couple of combos on Lucas and myself and I’m really diggin’ them so far. I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated as I learn more!

Alright my friends, I’m wrapping it up here. I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a fantastic weekend ahead! What’s on the agenda? Anything exciting?

    Hi Courtney! I laughed out loud at your "TMI?" comment about the underwear, because I, too, am brutally honest. Essential oils have invaded our household and I'm not sure how we ever made it without them. Specifically, I use them for sleep, allergies, asthma, and to freshen up the smell of my house without harsh chemicals. I hope you like them!

    You know, it's funny you post this about social media. I'm hating Facebook more and more and I think it's because people post too much negativity. Maybe about their own lives or griping about something else but it gets to be too much (perhaps I need to unfriend/unfollow?) I find that Instagram tends to be much more positive - but that again could be because I follow pictures of puppies and babies :)

    That Curt Schilling thing was creepy. Why are people such jerks? I guess there's a reason they call them trolls. Go him for standing up for his daughter, and teaching those guys a lesson! I'm on the Iowa/Nebraska border, and starting today, weather is supposed to be in the 50's! I'm so ready for spring, and Easter, and flip flops! Can't wait to dig out my spring/summer wardrobe. It's gonna be awesome!

    Thanks for the reminder about Daylight Savings...I TOTALLY would have forgot and with a 50 States In A Year event ON Sunday...that seems like it could have been bad. lol Also I LOVE essential oils! I use a bit of lavender before bed each night and I swear it helps me sleep! Then when I have a headache, I use peppermint on the back of my neck and temples and I swear it helps alleviate some of the pressure!

Stress away is fantastic for meltdowns and my daughter has very very dry skin so i make a lotion out of coconut oil and a couple drops of lavender!! I hate daylight savings now after having a child. They dont get it, the whole day is thrown off and it is just awful. Enjoy your weekend!!

    I, too, decided to bit the essential oils bullet. I ordered my kit an embarrassingly long time ago and have yet to open it. I keep meaning to and then life gets in the way. Soon though! Especially if I start reading about your good experiences. My husband and I hosted an annual St. Patrick's Day party for around 10 years, and then we took last year off since we had a newborn. But we're back this year and looking forward to it! An ex-neighbor, a grandma and all-around wonderful woman, is watching Connor most of Saturday and overnight so as long as we don't party too hard, we'll be okay for Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

    I purchased a young living starter kit a few weeks ago and just love the oils! We like to diffuse the oils, especially lavender before bed! We have a 15-month-old who has always been a good sleeper, but I swear this helps him sleep even better!! A drop of lemon is great in water! Stress away works wonders as well! What have you tried so far?

    Farmbox Direct sounds great! Fresh produce, delivered? Sign me up :) Hmmm. My social media use has changed a lot since college. Now, I spend less time on social media overall, but more time on Facebook since it's how so much communication happens about events and between groups I'm a part of. Then probably Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest. Have a great weekend!

I use them daily for everything & I swear it helps all of us sleep better, recover faster from stuff, and calms L down quickly. I can't wait to hear about your experience! I use doTERRA brand, and have found them to be amazing!

    You will not be disappointed with your Young Living investment. I purchased my first kit last fall (at the rec of my bff and mom) while I was pregnant and sick and could not take any medicine. Holy moly, if that didn't kick my cold to the curb. What would have been a much longer cold, ended up being much shorter. Thank goodness too since it was right before we headed for our final vacay before Caroline arrived. Lemon oil= rub behind ears= opens clogged ear ways Lavender= not only is it calming, but it helps with so many cold symptoms, scratchy throats, etc. THIEVES= bacteria fighting ninja. I dab this on my wrists and soles of feet before heading into public. Frankinsense= calms my baby right to sleep. Valor= smells so good!
