I’m sure I’ll share more about our adventures on the blog at some point next week but right now I need to get going and pack up some last minute things before we hit the road. I hope you enjoy today’s edition of my weekly roundup of favs Things I’m Loving Friday style!
Things I’m Loving Friday

Hair Appointment
(Excuse the screenshot from my IG boomerang video. I forgot to snap a pic of my hair and now I’m sitting here with it in a messy bun so this was the best I could do! Ha!)
Wednesday afternoon was such a treat! I headed off to Bohemian Stylehouse to see Christie who is a balayage mastermind. I first visited her 1.5 years ago and knew I finally found someone incredibly talented that I could fully trust with my hair. She did such a great job of listening to me and took my desire for a truly low maintenance balayage to heart. (I think the fact that I could go well over a year without desperately needing a touchup speaks to her talent!) I asked for a honey blonde balayage that would once again grow out in a way that looks natural with my dirty blonde roots and she absolutely delivered. I feel like my hair got a little summer refresh and I’m loving the brighter pops of blonde she incorporated around my face.
Speaking of hair… I discovered this dry texturizing spray years ago during a girls’ trip with my high school BFFs. My friend Michaela has very fine, silky hair like mine and we both struggle with getting volume and “grit” in our hair to make it easier to style and help our hair hold a style without falling out. When Michaela let me borrow this spray, I was instantly sold and have been using it for years! Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray is my favorite for days when I don’t want the firm hold of hairspray but want to add volume to limp locks. It’s especially great for getting that undone messy bun look without leaving my topknot sad and floppy. It also seems to absorb oil and almost functions as a dry shampoo alternative, too! It’s one of those miracle hair products that actually works and adds fullness and volume to my otherwise very fine, lifeless locks. Also, as a random side note, Ryan loves the smell of this stuff and always compliments how good I smell whenever I spray this in my hair!

Biceps, Triceps Shoulder Workout: 40 ON / 20 OFF
I completed this workout in our driveway during Rhett’s morning nap yesterday while Chase and Ryder played in the yard and I loved it! I’m always and forever a fan of upper body workouts and the formatting of this one — 40 seconds on, 20 seconds off — kept things moving and lit my biceps, triceps and shoulders on fire. I wanted to share it here so I can remember it and keep it in my back pocket for the future, too!

Paleo Banana Pancakes from Live Eat Learn
I’ve mentioned the fact that we’re pancake-making machines in our house lately because Rhett loooves pancakes and I appreciate them not only as a delicious breakfast option but also as a great grab-and-go snack for a baby who loves to snack in his stroller. I whipped up a batch of these paleo banana pancakes earlier this week for our crew and they got two thumbs up from all of our boys.
The only change I made was to swap the almond butter for peanut butter (so they weren’t paleo in our house but we aren’t paleo so it wasn’t a big deal) and while our pancakes seemed to look quite a bit thinner than the ones featured in Live Eat Learn’s blog post, they were the perfect consistency for our 9-month-old baby to gum all over.

May 2021 Top 10
In an effort to be better at taking the time to analyze some of my analytics, last month I told you guys I’m going to share a monthly recap in my Friday posts that highlights my top 10 blog posts and your top 10 favorite finds from the blog + Instagram. Hopefully this will also help you check out some blog posts you might have missed or help you easily locate an item I’ve mentioned in the past that got buried in blog/social media mayhem.
Easy Marinated Pork Chops (I used this marinade for grilled pork chops this week and, once again, it was a hit!)
Easy Black Bean Dip (A simple recipe that’s always a crowd pleaser.)
