Rhett and Ryder threw up however by no means had a fever whereas Chase had a fever however by no means threw up and everybody was again to regular inside 4 to six hours. I’ve by no means seen something prefer it! Sadly it knocked Ryan out a lot more durable and he’s nonetheless not feeling his greatest so we’re hoping he’ll really feel a lot better by the point the weekend rolls round.

Issues I’m Loving Friday
Final yr, within the midst of transferring and home-building mayhem, we lived in 4 homes in 6 months. It was insane to say the least and I did all I may to make residing in so many various locations as seamless as doable. One factor that labored effectively was to unpack as little as doable and I utilized this to my make-up! I started storing all of my make-up in a single big make-up bag and took it round the home with me to use my make-up utilizing my favourite moveable mirror (usually on the kitchen counter whereas the boys ate breakfast) and ended up loving this technique.
My earlier make-up bag was wanting a little bit tough so I just lately upgraded to this selection. It instantly appealed to me as a result of it was not solely aesthetically fairly however it has a number of inside sections to make dividing make-up up into totally different classes a breeze. I how have all of my make-up sorted into totally different sections (face, eyes, lips and brushes/applicators) and now not really feel like I’m digging via an abyss to seek out the particular product I’m in search of once I’m making use of my make-up within the morning. I adore it!
Have you ever guys heard of the entire “empties” pattern? I’m probably 5,000 years late to this one however I believe it’s a pattern that started when magnificence influencers began sharing their magnificence favorites each time they’d run out (aka their empty bottles) as a means of highlighting their favourite merchandise they use constantly. I’m telling you style and sweetness influencers are ON IT relating to artistic sharing concepts!
Anyway, I’ve an “empty” to share with you right this moment that I’m pretty sure I’ve shared up to now but when I did it was 1,000,000 years in the past. This hairspray has been the ONLY hairspray I’ve used for years so I figured it was price highlighting once more since I must order a substitute right this moment. I’ve very superb hair however apparently I’ve a variety of it (in line with anybody who ever does my hair) however it seems to be so lifeless and flat and not using a little assist. This hairspray was the most effective magnificence discoveries I ever made for my hair as a result of it provides quantity and a little bit texture and the maintain really lasts! I’ll usually let my hair air-dry which is a recipe for critically lifeless hair for me however this hairspray can work wonders bringing it again to life and including a little bit oomph whereas offering maintain for my waves. It’s a winner and one I’m certain I’ll proceed to purchase for 1,000,000 extra years.
True story: I noticed one other mother carrying this bag at preschool drop off a couple of weeks in the past and thought it was so cute that I legitimately sprinted throughout the parking zone to ask her the place she obtained it earlier than she hopped into her automotive. I liked the black and brown mixture of colours and the quilted leather-based look and crossed my fingers it wouldn’t be 1,000,000 greenback bag. When she mentioned it was an Amazon discover, I used to be psyched and ordered the bag from the preschool parking zone. It’s not large so it’s greatest for smaller occasions (aka it doesn’t maintain ALL THE MOM THINGS) however it pairs effectively with so many seems to be and I’ve discovered myself reaching for it time and again.
