Friday Favorites!

It's Friday and you know what that means!  I'm linking up with fellow bloggers Erika, Narci and Andrea to share my Friday Favorites!

ONE

Although I've been back at work for two days now, I'm still thinking about all the fun I had with my family this summer.  We couldn't take a family vacation this year due to everyone's crazy schedules, but we were able to cram a lot of family fun into our days at home.  Last weekend, we "camped" with Mason...in the yard!  You'll notice that the tent is also inside the trampoline because...coyotes...

We had such a great time.

TWO

Going back to school has me thinking about all things fall, including this book.  It is the coziest book I have ever read...is that even a book category?!  I will seriously make you want to make a pot of soup and eat warm bread with your favorite people.  I will be pulling out my copy in the next few weeks to put me in the fall mood...which doesn't take much!

In case you missed it, my July Books and Beans post has a lot of good book recommendations too.  I also have a good jump start on August!

THREE

Did you all know that Nordstrom has been having an Anniversary Sale?  Kidding.  This weekend is your last chance to shop the sale prices for fall merchandise.  You can see my top picks HERE, including this Women's Mural Structured Blazer.  Order one size up.

FOUR

I am loving my new office decor.  If you missed my office tour post, you can see it HERE.

FIVE

Since I am back to work, that means our routines are back in full effect.  We are trying a new strategy for cleaning and grocery shopping this year, because I want to avoid doing those things on the weekend as much as possible.  Last school year, we did all of our cleaning on Thursday night and, while it worked, Thursdays were super busy.  This year, we are trying the method laid out in THIS BOOK.

You can also see the cleaning routine on her website HERE.  So far, it seems to be working for our family.

As for grocery shopping, I will be utilizing grocery pickup options and hopefully doing that on the way home from work on Friday.  I am still loving all of the money I am saving from using my Ibotta app.  If you haven't downloaded this app yet, do it now.  In fact if you use THIS LINK, they will give you a $10 bonus as soon as you redeem your first rebate!  I am saving up my rebate money and will cash it in for gift cards at Christmas.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!  We have no plans, so I'm hoping to get outside with the family and squeeze a little more fun out of this summer!
