5 Things Friday XVI

May 13, 2016 | baby, running, running gear, Running Skirts

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday! You’re welcome. Bust day of workout and work ahead of me, but the sun is shining and it’s Friday. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Catch ya on social media until Monday.

1.) Running Skirts has come out with a new ADORABLE compression sock with tiaras on them! Love! Even better, right now you can get these socks with free shipping. This probably won’t last long so I would jump on it.

2.) Last week I spoke of loving the chocolate chip Complete Cookie. That was until I tried the birthday cake flavor. Holy cow, this is good stuff friends! If you like cake flavored things you should check these out. I love that I can get a box of twelve because Bobby keeps stealing them.

3.) My child loves ducks and is not afraid of them. There are some pretty aggressive ducks at one of our local parks that will come right up to you if they think you have food. My kid is like “whatevs, I just want to hug them.” I love that she is obsessed with animals. Sweet baby. Now I just hope she doesn’t get attacked by one and scared for life.

4.) Does anyone have any experience with this particular water and sand table? I saw it at Sam’s for a great price but haven’t heard reviews on this one. Thoughts?

5.) As a Rock ‘n blogger, I get fun things from time to time like the Eagle Creek gear I made a video for last week. This week I got this great training journal and book about proper eating for athletes. Can’t wait to dive right in! Thanks Velopress!

QOTD: Any experience with water tables? Any scary duck stories? I have been bitten several times. Favorite Complete cookie flavor?

    The ducks!! I love that! Ellie hasn’t gotten close enough to ducks yet, but she does love animals in general so I imagine she’ll be like Emma Kate!

    I don’t have that particular water table, but if you do get it, I would fill both sides with water and no sand. From what I understand, the sand/water tables get gross because the kiddos mix them and you end up with all mud. We have the Spiralin’ Seas one from Little Tikes, and it’s been fine. Really, any of them will be great as long as they have water to play in. http://www.amazon.com/Little-Tikes-Spiralin-Waterpark-Table/dp/B004INDQWY/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463187173&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=sprialin+seas+water+table

Today is National Plan Your Vacation Day 🐚 (ad) T Today is National Plan Your Vacation Day 🐚 (ad)

The beaches of Alabama are the kind of place where the days feel slow, the kids are happy, and you don’t feel like you need a vacation after your vacation.

Alabama beaches in the spring just make sense.

2016 was a VERY big year for us. Moving states. Running multiple businesses. Being accused of getting a divorce. 🤣🫣 People are wild, yall. 

Looking back they were some hard, wild times and I now know more hard times were ahead for us, but I wouldn’t change any of it. I know it’s part of our story, God had a plan, and there is a reason for it all. Just gotta keep keeping on! ❤️

If you’ve been feeling behind, exhausted, or like nothing you do is ever quite “enough”… maybe it’s not because you’re failing, maybe it’s because you keep raising your bar.

Growth isn’t always loud. 👈🏻
Take some time to look around and celebrate the small steps. 

(Or if you want to really celebrate, go on a @virginvoyages cruise! Bimini is one of my fave beaches ever! There’s a link in my bio with discounts!) 🚢
