_favorites on friday_





1:  Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Babydoll  This is an amazing mascara for my lashes.  I first tested this as a sample from Sephora and almost immediately got on the site and ordered after trying the sample.  It's pricier than I usually spend on mascara, but mascara is one of those cosmetics that I love love love so it's worth it to me!
2.  GAP Striped Waffle Knit Scarf   I just wish they had more options..   This also comes in a pink/white/navy combo, but that's really not my style.  It is so soft and lightweight yet heavy enough to lay nicely.
3.  Alterna Bamboo Volume 48-Hour Sustainable Volume Spray  I can actually tell a big difference when I use this before blowdrying!  The smell is a bit cologne-like, but once my hair is dry, I rarely notice the smell.
4.  Marchesa Parfum D'extase  Yum!  This perfume smells amazing to me!  This is another sample from Sephora.  I haven't ordered the large size yet so hoping the sample will keep me until Christmas and I'll ask for the full size as a gift.  And the bottle is so pretty.
5.  Starbucks Stainless Steel Chiseled Tumbler  I use this all the time!  My water stays cold even after leaving the cup in a vehicle for most of the day.
6.  Starbucks Vanilla Iced Coffee  This is what I've been ordering lately at Starbucks..   it's just the flavored coffee on ice and I add a splash of cream.  It's just as yummy as a creamy drink, but lighter!
7.  FLICKA soundtrack  I bought this cd probably over 3 years ago, but still love it..   Not sure what it is that I love.. just love it!

Bottle Race



We thought it'd be a hoot to watch Wyatt Landon and Audrey try their hand at drinking from a bottle.  So we made a race of it..  filled up three bottles with chocolate milk and had some really good laughs!




They were pretty excited for this!


--- Ready ---


--- Set ---


--- Go ---






Cody watched pretty intently at these three crazies taking over his bottles!






Audrey is the WINNER



 It was a tight race between the boys



Wyatt finished in 2nd --- only about 15 seconds before Landon


Landon ended up with a sore mouth for a few days from the bottle!


For those with older kiddos and a baby at home who drinks from a bottle, I highly recommend doing this!  It is hilarious!

I should add, it took a good 20 minutes for them all to finish!   It was a lot harder than they thought!
