Friday Five.

Yikes, I went over a week without an update! I really do prefer to post a few times each week, but life has been so darn hectic that blogging takes a back seat. Here are five things that went on this week:

1. I took a sick day on Wednesday. Was I sick? No, but Dylan sure was. I was up at 4 am with a sick boy and a whole lot of puke. Not so fun. Luckily I have a job that doesn't mean the end of the world when I have to stay home, and a boss that is willing to pick up my slack. Thanks, Jorden!

2. Dylan got better! I actually took him to the doctor on Wednesday, because on Tuesday evening he got hit in the head with a hard, plastic ball and it left a huge bruise and gave him a bloody nose. I just wanted to be sure that the head bump and vomiting weren't symptoms of a concussion. They weren't, thank goodness! Here he is on Thursday night, happy as a clam:

3. This isn't exactly recent news, but I discovered Francesca's, a darling new store at the mall. Gorgeous clothes, accessories, and gift ideas. I bought this necklace on my first trip:

I love this necklace and I get compliments on it every time I wear it. The price was also reasonable- it was about $25. 

It also makes a lovely new addition to my jewelry wall:

4. This is some sad news for our family: Dylan's sitter is moving to Texas at the end of the month. Dylan adores her and it's so sad trying to find a new sitter that can fill her shoes. We will miss her family very, very much. Boo for people moving. 


5. I went to Sephora on the hunt for a new eyebrow pencil. I've been using MAC for years, but seeing as my local MAC counter went away when Nords closed, I was in the market for something else. Enter in my new cosmetic love:

Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil

I popped down to the mini-Sephora at JC Penney's and was pleasantly surprised. Great color with natural results. I'm kind of in love with this. Another perk of hitting up mini-Sephora? The great girls there gave me all sorts of samples to try out. Love! Turns out I'm also in love with Jennifer Aniston's new perfume. Who would have thought?

Alright friends, that's it for the day. Have a great weekend!
