I hope to share more on the blog on Monday but until then, keep on scrolling for this week’s roundup of Friday favorites, Things I’m Loving Friday style!
Things I’m Loving Friday
This handy little bag is a game changer for anyone out there who constantly washes sports bras and bralettes with liners inside. If it drives you crazy to have to stuff the liners of your bras back into them after every wash, this handy bag will make you a little too happy! It keeps the liners safely tucked inside sports bras and bralettes (and even lined tank tops!) and is a small thing that makes laundry a little less miserable in our house.

Date Night
(Outfit details: Matching set)
Woohoo for date niiiight! My mom arrived in town yesterday afternoon to help with the boys for a few days so Ryan and I can go crazy with packing and preparing for our upcoming move. We couldn’t resist taking advantage of her offer to stay with the boys so we could get out for a date night — our first in waaay too long — and we paired dinner out with a musical at the Duke Family Performance Hall, a local community theater. Ryan bought us tickets to see Legally Blonde: The Musical because I’ve adored the music from the upbeat musical ever since the entire production debuted on MTV more than a decade ago. Anyone else remember watching Laura Bell Bundy in the role of Elle Woods!? It was such a fun show and a great date night with my favorite guy!

Wallpaper Samples
A bunch of wallpaper samples arrived for the new house! To quote Ryan when he saw them, “Are we wallpapering the whole house?” No, no we are not but I looove fun wallpaper accents, so I selected some samples to consider for a few spaces. I’m SO glad I ordered samples because the colors of a few of them looked significantly different in person than they did online. See below for our top contenders!
For the accent wall in Ryder’s room: Pick Up Sticks Wallpaper from Anthropologie
For our laundry room: Alpine Botanical Wallpaper from Anthropologie
For Rhett’s room: Calm Seas Sky Blue Wallpaper from Seabrook Wallcoverings
For the powder bathroom: Deciding between Serena & Lily Oceana Wallpaper and Joss & Main Reavis Plaid Dove Wallpaper (also considering using the plaid wallpaper in Chase’s bedroom!)
For Chase’s bathroom: Chasing Paper Tree Toile from Crate & Barrel
I cannot wait to see everything come together!

OLIPOP Prebiotic Classic Root Beer
Prebiotic soda-like drinks are everywhere these days and I’ve been slowly purchasing a can or two here and there to try out various brands and flavors. Most recently, the root beer flavor of Olipop blew me away enough to warrant a highlight in today’s blog post. It took me back to childhood and Ryan agreed it was just about as close to tasting like “real” root beer you could hope for from a healthier soda alternative. We’re now on a mission to use Olipop to make root beer floats this summer!

Question of the Day
What is one thing you are loving this week?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
I can’t wait to see everything come together with the house! I’m loving your taste and everything you’ve picked out! Gives me the itch to do some updating/remodeling!
I love the wallpapers you picked out. So fun, but also neutral enough to not be too much. We went plain everything in our house when we built 7 years ago and I so wish we would have take more time to do some fun accents. I can’t wait to see pictures!
Legally Blonde was such a fun musical! I saw it years ago and am so glad it’s still going around.
You look gorgeous on your date night!!
Again, I love the botanical print wallpaper, & they all look fun & so appropriate for each boy’s interests.
I’ve wanted to try Olipop! I have IBS, though & worried if the fiber + carbonation would be too much for my sometimes diva gut. 😏 I will grab one to try, though.
The thing making me smile is currently holding Ansley in my arms with with her asleep on my shoulder & arms hugging me. 🥰🥰
Hello!
I love your wallpaper accent ideas so much it has inspired me to do my own project! Besides the places you mentioned here, what other wallpaper online places that you liked did you find? Bonus points for links.
Thanks in advance!
By the way, you look adorable and oh so beautiful for your date!
BurkeDecor.com has a TON of options!! So many it was almost overwhelming — haha!
Love the wallpaper choices! I have several accent walls, but I actually found an amazing person to do hand painted murals or stenciling, and it feels like much less commitment than the hassle of removing wallpaper down the line. Just a thought because I was shocked at how well the painted patterned walls turned out!
That is so creative!!
Just in case no one has mentioned it. When picking any bathroom wallpaper, make sure it’s actually designed for a bathroom. It had to be moisture repellent or whatever it’ll peel right off the wall.
This is so helpful!! Thank you!
