FIVE ON FRIDAY
here you go…
{ONE}
Bloglovin’
Do you use bloglovin’ to read blogs? If you don’t, you should.
Anyway, somewhere I recently read about organizing your blogs on bloglovin’. It’s a simple task, but made a big difference to my daily reads. My blog list got so big and it was time to sort between food blogs, fashion, lifestyle, friends and daily reads. Check out my screenshot below. Just click your profile and hit the “edit blogs you follow” button where my arrow is. Then start organizing! I promise you will thank me later 🙂

Yesterday was class picture day at school (not to be confused with “fall school portraits” that we’ve already taken). There are eight kids and Brody’s class all around 18 months give or take a few months. Imagine trying to wrangle all those kids together for a picture…I can’t even get Brody to sit still by himself for me to get a pic.
{Three}
As I said yesterday, I’m headed to NYC today for a little girls trip. I’m leaving Brody behind with my hubby and some help from my MIL. Even though I’m not taking Brody on the trip with me, it still feels like I have nine million things to do just to get ready. I want to make sure I leave plenty of food plus a clean house and clean laundry! I’m already pooped before I even leave. I did make these muffins again and this time I tried whole wheat flour and used apple sauce instead of canola oil. They were still delicious and Brody loves them!
{FOUR}
I mentioned on Tuesday how I was starting to sell ads on Home of Malone’s. You can find info on the contact page. Thank you for all your sweet words of encouragement. I’m excited to make this step. And since I’m headed to NYC this weekend for some shopping, I thought I would offer you guys a little incentive. Use code GONESHOPPING to get 25% off your ads for the next week! I hope that gives some of you that are on the fence an extra little push 🙂

I need to try those muffins! I cannot even imagine trying to wrangle a bunch of 18 month olds for a class picture!! Enjoy every minute in NYC!
Have so much fun!!! Kid-free trips are SO fun, but they do require so much pre-work. PS Brody is ADORABLE – He must be the best dressed kid at school! Have a GREAT weekend!!!!! I think anywhere you eat in the City will be delicious…we always find our new "favorite" place every time we visit!
Those muffins are now on my must make list, always looking for new recipes to make for the little one! Have so much fun on your trip!

Bloglovin is my jam on following all the blogs I read! I need to organize them better though. Have so much fun this weekend in NYC!!
I completely feel you with leaving the baby when you go away! It is so exhausting getting ready to leave. Have so much fun on your trip!
Organizing my Bloglovin feed seriously changed my life!! It's a must do to separate the 'daily reads' from the 'for fun' reads – otherwise I'd spend like 10 hours a day just reading blogs. Have so much fun this weekend!! Can't wait to see what you pick up!
That picture of you is gorgeous! I love your pink top. Have a fantastic trip, oh and I will take that tip to organize my blogs on bloglovin. Mine is a mess! xo
Have so much fun this weekend (next time we must meet for a cocktail!) Getting ready to leave the kiddos is harder than bringing them with you, I swear! Thanks for the BL tip, I am going to work on getting it all organized this weekend! xoxo
I need to organize my blog lovin' a little bit more. Your son is adorable! Have a great weekend!
