5 Finds on Friday

Praise Jesus, it is FRIDAY!!! It is also Max's birthday weekend. He turns 5 on Tuesday (I am in denial. I don't want my baby boy to be five. Why can't he stay little forever). I only work a half day today (alle freaking luluja). We have a fun weekend planned and birthday party tomorrow!! In the meantime, I am sharing my 5 Friday Finds with ya'll!

ONE








I bought this travel journal for Meredith for our New York City adventure. I thought it would be a great way for her to remember our trip at Christmastime plus keep her entertained on the plane. A few of the things included in the journal:

Plan your trip and packing list.

Write what happened on the way there and back.

Write down what you did.

Sketch what you saw.

Rate each day.

Paste in photos, tickets, maps, postcards, and more.

Keep more stuff in the back pocket.

Plus there are puzzles and games (maybe she will stay off her ipod.....I can dream right lol). Oh and it has a snazzy Elastic band attached to back cover that keeps your place or keeps journal closed!!

TWO
I need a portable power charger and found this one! My phone is not holding charge AT ALL and it is driving me freaking insane. I think I am due for a new iphone upgrade and hoping it comes before our trip (and yes our trip is all I can think and plan about currently!! so bare with me until December). Our days are planned to the T in NYC and I know I will need a portable charger there too!

THREE
I want a pair of old school Nikes and found these! Could they be any cuter??!! I love love retro tennis shoes. I am not much into the clunky workout tennis shoes to wear with skinny jeans or leggings. Not my style. But these Nikes fit the bill !

FOUR
Velvet is this year's fall/winter trend and I am obsessed. I have found Meredith and mine Christmas outfit plus a few other things in velvet already!! I like to be ahead of the game ....ya'll I have most of my Christmas shopping done too.....don't hate me haha! I refuse to be stressed during Christmas. Christmas isn't meant to be stressful so I have a go to plan every year to make it as stress free as possible. It helps this year that it the kids' gifts are scaled way back because of our trip. But back to velvet. I plan on wearing this velvet top with a pair of skinny jeans or black leggings with leopard flats for a laid back look.

FIVE
Le Papier Studios has the cutest silhouette ornaments, bracelets, necklaces, and more. Today they are having 20% off. I got this  ornament last year. By far my favorite ornament!!
