Five on Friday

Happy Friday friends!! The weeks seem to be going by faster and faster and I have a feeling that's going to be the case through the end of the year.  With the Holidays approaching, it seems like time starts going twice as quickly! 

Here's my five for the week:

{ONE}
I wanted to give a quick update on Brody in school.  Thank you so much to everyone who encouraged me and assured me things would get better with Brody in day care.  Ya'll it's so much fun now!! He seems to be loving it and doesn't even cry (mostly) when I drop him off.  It's so much fun to watch him interact with the other kids.  He's a picture of him and his little girlfriend from the other day.  I wish he didn't have that darn monkey in his mouth, but they were getting ready for their daily buggy ride!!

{TWO}
I've been on the hunt for a nice fruit/veggie bowl for our kitchen.  I've had two previously from Home Goods and I really was never completely satisfied with either of them.  They were good for other uses, but I didn't like them on my countertop all the time.  Now enter the Emma Footed Serve Bowl from Potterybarn.  It is so pretty and looks great on my counters.  It's the perfect size too! 

{Three}
Have I mentioned how HOT it still is around here lately???  It's so hot still.  I took Brody to the splash pad close to our house this week to meet some friends.  He loved playing in the little fountains, but I think he liked chasing the pigeons even more! 
How cute are these little kiddies all sitting still with their snacks???

{FOUR}
Christmas came in October when these beauties arrived at my doorstep.  I was honestly so hesitant to pull the trigger on these because everyone has told me that Tory Burch's tall boots are really tight in the calves.  But I was in need of some black leather boots this year and when her sale was running last week, I decided that I needed to order them and try for myself.  I'm so glad that I did because they fit perfectly and they aren't too tight at all with jeans on.  

{FIVE}
Lastly, I posted this picture on Instagram (@homeofmalones) this week and I realized that some of my northern friends around these parts probably have no idea what Waffle House is.  We shamefully  love Waffle House in my family and have gone since I was a little kid.   They are known for their breakfast and have been quoted in the movie Tin Cup as the "low-rent roadside cafe featuring waffles."  They ain't fancy and the food is greasy, but they be open 24 hours a day and the food sure is yummy :)

Have a fun weekend!!!

  4. It's pretty hot here too still (Jacksonville)! We've had some cooler weather but it's still getting up in the 90's in the afternoons, ugh! I can't believe some people don't know what a Waffle House is! I thought everyone had at least heard of them!

  13. I've said this before, but I'll say it again, your taste is great. Your decor, style...on point. My house is so bland (we moved into our new apartment a year ago) and has yet to be formally decorated. I don't even know where to begin!

  16. We always made it a point to stop at Waffle House and Chick-fil-A while we were in Florida growing up!! Such fun memories (and the best waffles). We're starting to get CFA up here so now we just need Waffle House to get their act together! Happy Friday :)
