Friday Favorites

August 23, 2013 by Aliesha

If you’re looking for some fresh flowers with staying power, I recommend daisies!  I’ve had these for a week and a half already, and they’re still going strong!  Most of the time they last 3 weeks at least.  I picked these up at Harris Teeter for $4.

I’ve been drinking a lot of red raspberry leaf tea lately!  It helps prepare your uterus for labor.  I usually drink this brand, but the great taste of this brand is rocking my world!

Since reading this article, I’ve been eating more dates (at least 6 a day) too!  The ones from Fresh Market are the best, but the ones in the pouches at a normal grocery store are good too.

Links to peruse (read all with discernment and your filter on, because I don’t endorse everything written by any of these authors… I liked aspects of each of these posts, but I haven’t read everything else they’ve written):
–Quit Pointing Your Avocado at Me (comparison and motherhood)
–If I Could Do it All Over Again (perspective from a mom with grown children)
–Kate Middleton and the Mom in the Mirror (parts of this article resonated with me currently, but read with discernment, since not all of it is sound wisdom)
–In Which I Thank the Duchess of Cambridge (another sweet post, but I don’t endorse this blog)
–Motherhood is Not for Slackers (our service is unto the Lord!)
–10 Things to Do if You Wake up Feeling Like a Grouch (great, practical ideas here!)
–25 Lessons on Rest and Renewal (on being still… and, p.s. I love this blog)
–What to Wear for Family Photo Sessions (great tips on complementing without being matchy-matchy)

For some visual inspiration on home decor, fashion, and healthy recipes, view my latest pins!
