Welcome back, friends! I thought it would be fun for the last Friday of 2019 (and the DECADE!) to do a round up of my absolute favorite things from the whole year! 25 items in total. The game changers, the life enhancers, the staples. From the mascara I’ve been wearing all year, to the best little cold brew maker, to quite a few kiddo things- this year has been so fun putting together fun little lists for you week after week.
Zella live in leggings
Like the name of these leggings, I literally live in them.

2. KEURIG special edition coffee, latte, and cappuccino maker
This was my Christmas present and I am loving it! I had to be in the top 25 because it’s THAT good!
Shop here.
3. Tory Burch McGraw swing pack
THIS! It’s pricey but worth it! Big enough for baby and toddler essentials, but super convenient for everyday errands and a busy life. It’s on sale right now!
Shop here.
4. Aden + Anais muslin sleep sack
This thing saved us this year! Without it we’d have had to move Caroline to a toddler bed. This enables her movement but not so much where she can climb out of her crib. Praise Jesus!
Shop here.
5. Dr. sCholls Slip on Sneakers
My official mom shoe! They go with everything and are super comfy! They have been great on wedding setup days too!
Shop here.
6. Grumpy mom takes a holiday
This book is amazing and takes the #1 spot for books I’ve read this year. Definitely a mom must read.
Shop here.
7. Amazon off the shoulder top
OKAY! I bought this is 4 colors this summer. It is so flattering and can be dressed up of down. So many of you purchased it too and LOVE it! Honestly may buy more colors for summer. It’s a dream too.
Shop here.
8. Kylie skin vitamin c serum
I have been using this for quite a while now and it’s great! I definitely notice my skin is brighter and more “awake” Kylie’s other skin products are some of my favorites too, but if I could only keep one, this is it!
Shop here.
9. Old navy linen pants
This is another item I purchased multiple of! I love them for the summer when you want to switch up wearing dresses everyday. They are not see through and hit at the place on your hip.
Shop here.
10. Revlon one step dryer brush
GAME CHANGER. I no longer use a blow dryer y’all. This dries my hair in u set 10 minutes and pretty much makes me look I just had a blow out at a salon. Might just be my favorite purchase of 2019. Really. Truly.
Shop here.
11. Cover girl exhibitionist mascara
Such a great mascara at a drugstore price. I have been wearing it all year and I’m so glad I tried it! It’s amazing!
Shop here.
12. Old navy luxe tank
Again, I have a bunch of these and LOVE THEM. Super flattering and a great length! They are that jersey material that’s silky soft. My favorite tank top ever.
Shop here.
13. Contigo kids cup
TRUST ME ON THIS. About 90% (or what feels like it) of 2019 was spent trying to find a toddler cup that was Caleb and Caroline proof. It was quite a feat. And after trying at least a dozen brands and failing, I was introduced to this super hero cup. Not one leak or spill, my friends. Making it a top 25 item for Friday Favorites.
Shop here.
14. Amazon two piece bathing suit
Such a dream bathing suit. Super flattering especially for postpartum and tons of colors and patterns. Plus a great price point! I lived in this suit this summer.
Shop here.
15. Living proof PhD dry shampoo
Life changing. I was a little late to the party on this dry shampoo, but it is a miracle worker. I’ve literally gotten the most compliments on my hair this year on day 3 hair using this stuff. Love love love and will never be without it.
Shop here.
16. Apple Watch series 4
Thus year I jumped on the Apple Watch train and have never looked back. My favorite part of having this gadget? I’m on my phone less. I’m really not sure how I’ve lived without it. A game changer for event days too.
Shop here.
17. Kristin ess reconstructive hydrating hair mask
Honestly, I can’t even describe to you how my hair feels after wearing this mask for 20 minutes. It’s like I have new hair. Plus, I place it is the category of self-care which is always a great thing. This hair mask is only $14 and is my favorite of all Kristin Ess’ products. (Blog post coming SOON)
Shop here.
18. Amazon inflatable toddler bed
I purchased this for our July 4th vacation for Caroline and she loved it! This bed took so much weight and worry off of my shoulders about her sleeping arrangements at the beach. This worked perfectly. More than perfectly.
Shop here.
19. Amazon off-the-shoulder romper
My favorite romper! So cute and comfy and can be dressed up or down. Love the price too!
Shop here.
20. Bodum cold brew coffee maker
If I had a nickel for every time I talked about this thing… So inexpensive and my summer staple for morning coffee. So easy to use and the cold brew is delicious.
Shop here.
21. Brownie brittle
Would it be a yearly FF round up without a snack food? Nope. A friend brought this over to a get-together and I was immediately hooked. It’s delicious. Go get yourself some.
Shop here.
22. Good American good legs jeans
Ok, this was a splurge for me (Even with buying them during Nordstrom’s anniversary sale). It Y’ALL! They are amazing!! I may never buy another brand of jeans again ( Go Khloe Kardashian!) They are so soft with just the right amount of stretch. Dream jeans
Shop here.
23. Tory Burch Miller Sandals in makeup
This year was the first year I tried the Miller sandal front Tory Burch and gah! They are so comfortable! I bought the makeup color and they literally go with everything. I will be wearing these for years to come.
Shop here.
24. Black and decker hand held vacuum
My sister-in-law introduced me to this sanity saver. It’s under $30 and has a wide mouth so it picks up everything. Also great for cleaning out the car! With two toddlers, I’m so glad I purchased this. Makes cleaning up after meals a breeze.
Shop here.
25. Aveeno 60 second In shower facial
Save the best for last? Perhaps. This is a tube of silk. Just as the label reads, my skin is transformed in 60 seconds in the shower into brighter and tighter looking skin. So glad a found this product this year and will be using it well into 2020.
Shop here.
Thank you so much for making Friday Favorites the most lived weekly post this year! I’m so glad y’all are loving it as much as I do! Much more to come in 2020! Happy New Year sweet friends!
Warmly,
Michelle
