5 on Friday, Friday Favorites and Hiatus Update

Today, I am linking up with Momfessionals, A Little Bit of Everything, and Grace and Love for Friday Favorites, but also A. Liz Adventures, Carolina Charm, Hello! Happiness, and The Good Life for 5 on Friday. 

I know, I know. It has been a long time. Three weeks or so. What can I say? Motherhood is crazy busy-- especially with a newborn :) I have also been grading assignments for my classes, so I have been go, go, go. I am also having a hard time with the whole-- "sleep while your baby is sleeping" thing. Once I get Addison down, all I want to do is clean, cook and get everything done that I haven't been able to do! I just can't seem to nap while she naps haha. 

I'll get into more detail about the ins and outs of the past few weeks in a post coming soon-- but for now let's get to the Favorites! 

{FAVORITE ONE}

This one....

And these two...

I love seeing these two together :) My husband has been amazing with Addison and it is so beautiful to see them interact together. He has so much love for her, and I can't imagine anything better in life. 

I never could have imagined the love I would have for Addison. It is this indescribable feeling, and I can't even imagine what my life was like before her. It has been the best/most exhausting/ stressful/ rewarding three and a half weeks of my life! 

{FAVORITE TWO}

My sisters and I are always looking for great/cool/ unique gifts to give my uncles and this year was no exception. We ended up getting them a great wine rack from West Elm

The website has so many other great gift ideas-- and right now they are having some really great deals! If anyone else procrastinates with their Christmas shopping (like me!) the deals are still great out there. 

{FAVORITE THREE}

I honestly can't say enough about the Etsy shop, Randy's Design. I absolutely love all of his canvases, and I have purchased so many of these amazing canvases not just for myself, but for so many of my family members. Honestly, you can't go wrong with his canvases-- they are the perfect gift.

{FAVORITE FOUR}

I have been binge-watching "Gilmore Girls" again...I love this show. I can't even contain how much I love this show. If the rumors are true, I CAN'T wait for the mini-series or whatever it is haha. 

{FAVORITE FIVE}

My last favorite is my family. They have been amazing these last few weeks with Addison, and I am so lucky to have them.  

I hope you all have had a good week-- bring on the weekend!!!
