TGIF! Hey all! It’s currently Thursday, and I work the later shift, so I was super stoked to sleep in. Well Mr. Moose had different plans, and we were up at 6:30… which is still sleeping in comparative to the work days, but man, I was looking forward to that 8:00 AM wake up. My sleep has not been so great the last few weeks, and I’m really starting to feel it. I started to lose that second trimester energy burst last week, and now at mid-27 weeks I am having flashbacks to that first trimester fatigue. I’m not ready for it, even though I knew this would happen. Still incredibly grateful though, and obviously, it’s all worth it!!!
Anywho, Moose just got out his zoomies and is finally crashing again. I have about 40 mins before I need to drive into work, so I figured why not crank out a Friday Favorites.
Without further ado, here are a few things I’ve been loving lately:
- Slip Hair Scrunchies. These were a Christmas gift, and I cannot believe how well they work & they’re adorable. I tended to use the spiral hair ties and thought nothing could beat them- but I am obsessed with these. My onlyyy gripe is they do stretch out a little bit over time, but then I just wrap them an extra time in my hair and they work just as well. They have a strong hold and do not damage my hair at all.
2. Love is Blind. This is perhaps one of the greatest dating reality shows to grace television history (ok, that might be a bit dramatic- but drama is the name of the game 😉 ). I recognize how ridiculous the concept of this show is at face value- but I love reality TV for the insight into people. I enjoy the sociological/psychological element of it all, and this series is fascinating in that regard. (Don’t mind me over here justifying my reason for watching brain-mush TV, lol). If you’d like to watch the trailer, I’ve linked it here.
3. Hoover Power Scrub Elite Carpet Cleaner. You guys! This is the greatest thing ever invented!!! A MUST for new pet owners. So, we got that professional carpet cleaning done not too long ago, but when telling my mom about it, she said it would help so much to have one of these carpet cleaners around with Moose & baby on the way for each individual accident/mess. She and Pete surprised us with this, and we could not have been more excited!! I actually didn’t even know this existed, but it is a game changer. It works so well. We use an all natural solution in it, and it really does the trick. We will just use this on all our carpets next time instead of hiring a carpet cleaning service.
4. The Good Sister. I just started this, and lemme tell ya- it is a page turner. It is so well written & I can’t wait to finish it up! Here is a summary from goodreads if you are interested. 
5. Decaf San Francisco Bay Coffee K Cups. If you venture into the realm of decaf, you know how hard it can be to actually find a good decaf coffee. This is the best I think I’ve ever had. Plus it’s not made of the plastic, which I try to avoid when I can.
What are some of your favorites on this lovely, icy, when-is-winter-going-to-end Friday?
