I Swear It's Not Sponsored

Friday. Sweet, sweet Friday. This week seemed unnecessarily long. I blame Daylight Savings - the biggest joke to anyone who has children.

Anyway. Let's move on to the awesomeness of this week.

1. We got our vote on.

I know, it's old news by now. And, regardless of the whether or not you liked the outcome of the Midterms, I hope you got out and exercised one of your greatest rights and responsibilities as an American. People all over the world would LOVE the opportunity to vote, and we are so fortunate to actually be able to do so. The next round of voting takes place in two short years, mark your calendars!

2. These Cotton On tents.

I'm slightly obsessed. 

The tents are normally $39.95. Right now there's a huge sale, and the tents are $20. There's also an additional 30% off if you use the code :: M16TR37U That brings down the total to $14 (without shipping and tax)! You can bet I snagged the lower left tent and it will be opened Christmas morning by our resident toddler. (Note: this is not a sponsored post. I just love these tents, and the deal was too good to keep to myself!)

3. These nautical inspired driftwood pieces.

While we're talking Christmas gifts I just have to share these. Each piece is handmade by Stephanie, a high school classmate of mine. I absolutely adore every.single.thing. in her shop and foresee an anchor adorning my Christmas tree this year.

To see more of these awesome pieces check out her InstaGram store, @TheMangoMermaid. Stephanie is offering free shipping until November 14. AND, if you'd like free shipping PLUS an additional 10% off your purchase, head to InstaGram, check her out, repost your favorite product(s) on IG and tag @themangomermaid along with a friend (or two) who would love all that nautical goodness, too! (Note: again, not a sponsored post, just obsessed with these items and wanted to share.)

4. The Skimm.

Before having Marcus I couldn't get enough of the news. I'd go to several different news sites and read up on as much as I possibly could. Obviously I don't have that kind of time these days. The Skimm to the rescue. The Skimm pulls the main highlights from world news, breaks it down simply and quickly. If you aren't a Skimm subscriber be sure to sign up. It's totally free! To get to Skimming (it takes all of two seconds) just click HERE. (Again, you guessed it, not a sponsored post, just something I love and wanted to pass along!)

5. Family pics.

Last weekend we had family pics. I'll go into greater detail about all of that when I get the proofs back, but I think we're going to be pretty pleased with our pics. 

Have a great weekend!
