its FRIDAY!!  I slept in until 7am this morning + woke to a bed full of babies, so I would say its off to an amazing start.  we don’t have a ton of plans this weekend.. a family birthday party/dinner on Saturday afternoon but other than that we are just laying low.  J is at the fire station so we may bring the toddler party to him!

one. camp castle play mat  

one of THE COOLEST toys we have ever had. I was introduced to Camp Castle through an acquaintance on Instagram (I love that place) and I was floored at the quality and detail of this mat when it arrived. I am OBSESSED!  I have been watching my girls play on this mat for hours since it hit our doorstep and I think you guys should totally get in on this goodness, too. they are working hard to get their brand up and running for a final release around Christmas (perfect timing!!) its 100% wipeable surface with a matte texture (no pet hair!) and a grippy backing to keep it from sliding all over the place while the girls play.  it pretty much has a permanent place in our entry way, but when its time to pick it up, I just roll it up and stick it in the hall closet until we are ready to play with it again!

two. amazing giveaways over on the ‘gram!

its been a busy week! I have partnered with two awesome brands to bring you a couple fun giveaways over on my Instagram page. enter HERE for your chance to win one amazing swim suit of your choice from Albion Fit (I’m wearing this top in a size XS and these bottoms in a size small!) I’ll announce the winner on Saturday, but in the meantime use code: MASSEYA15 at checkout for 15% off your purchase!

the other giveaway is for a 4 moms mamaRoo4!!  4 moms is launching their new mamaRoo4, but also their collaboration and commitment to the non-profit project sweet peas, supporting families that have experienced a stay in the NICU.  I’ll be selecting a winner today, but you still have time to enter + nominate a NICU mama HERE.

three. SAHM status

I mentioned in my post earlier this week that I’ll be a staying home with the kiddos.. actually working from home as a stitch fix stylist, but not having a commute and being home with the girls and Brady.  I’ve had some (major) anxieties about it because I have always worked outside the home, but we have been praying for a long time about how we would make this work.. and finally its come to the point for us to pull the trigger.  my last day is next week and I’m both nervous and excited!  I will also be able to devote more time to the blog.. and have been working with Kate Handling Creative  for a major overhaul and new design, so stay tuned for that update, soon!!

four. sister girls

the cutest thing ever has been happening in our house for about a week. Baker moved into a “big girl bed” a couple weeks ago and she’s been doing an awesome job sleeping in her room!

we have been reading books together in Parker + Jolie’s room at night before bed and one night last weekend Baker asked to “stay” while she was snuggled up in Jolie’s bed.  Jordan has been talking about Baker eventually wanting to sleep in the room with the twins, but I didn’t think that would ever happen..but I was totally wrong.  Jordan called it!  Baker has been sleeping on the floor of the twins room on her crib mattress that we had stored in her closet after replacing it with her twin size mattress. the most adorable thing ever.. and now I’m contemplating moving a bed into the twins room for Baker?? we are in the middle of making a ‘big girl’ space for her in her room, but we actually still have the other twin size bed that the twins used stored in the garage.. maybe I’ll set that up, too?

five. NASHVILLE

me and my honey are heading to Nashville next week.. just the two of us!  we are road tripping and stopping for a night in Memphis for some amazing BBQ and then heading to spend a handful of days in downtown Nashville.  I’ve got a list going for places to see + yummy food to eat, but if you’ve been there or live there, send all your recs my way!!  I am so excited for this trip!

happy Friday, ya’ll!  I hope everyone has had an awesome week.. lets hop into this weekend asap!
