Blue Bike

This weeks FF photo immediately caught my eye because my mom and I have recently picked up biking. She got a fabulous bike for mothers day and the whole fam is obsessed with it - it's a precious blue beach cruiser, it even has a cute little basket. I'll try to snap a pic of it and put it on Instagram.

Also, a little news about the new TBB. I don't have a confirmed debut date, but it's in the coding process and it should be next week. Fingers crossed because I absolutely love it and cannot wait to share it with all of you!

Here's this week's round of Friday Favorites! Enjoy!

Road Trip Essentials

Summer is road trip season in my humble opinion so I thought I'd put together my road trip essentials. Trust me I've been on quite a few road trips... Alabama to Washington state and Washington state to Louisiana were the longest though. Why would a family ever drive that you might ask? Well, our family dog, Blackie, is just too loved to be put on a plane (he's too big to fit under a seat so he would have to be put underneath) so we drove across the country for him.

Enough about Blackie and back to my road trip essentials!

• Good music. Preferably sing a long music, songs that you know every word to. Let's be honest it's fun to belt out your favorite song. 
• Snacks. No brainer here, you get hungry (and bored) when you're just sitting in the car for hours. 
• A good book and a pillow - if you're not driving! Snuggle up, start reading and the time will pass on by. 
• Get creative if worst comes to worst. My mom and I usually play name games... New York or San Francisco? Or who would you rather be neighbors with... Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds or Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen?  

Lastly, I have some big news for y'all! The new TBB debuts next Monday!!!
