Happy Valentine’s Weekend! Take some time this weekend to show a little extra love and definitely make sure to use this holiday as an excuse to eat all the heart shaped candy so you can shove in your mouth. I took today off since Ben’s out of school for a teacher’s workday and I’m off Monday as well for President’s Day so it’s a 4 day weekend for me! Here’s to hoping we’re not ready to kill each other by the end. I’m linking up with my usual gals Amanda, Karli, Christina, & Astleigh to bring you my five from this week. //one// Did anybody else get their free Chipotle burrito from earlier this week?…

The 5 Second Way to Save Your Paintbrush
I just love painting every room in my house said no one ever. And although I love the finished look, painting and everything that comes with it (tapping off, cutting in, touching up) can make it a tedious task.

A 7th Birthday Painting Party
Saturday was the last of the celebrations for our new seven year old. As Ben’s gotten older I’ve realized the amazingness of out of the house parties. The kids get to do a fun activity and I don’t have to spend hours prepping or cleaning up. Win! Ben’s really into art so we decided to try out a canvas painting place in our town. These types of places are pretty popular right now and considering they provide everything and clean up, it was well worth the cost. The kids painted The Flash symbol, and ate pizza and cake before Ben tore threw the presents.

Friday, Friday
Happy Friday!!! I’m jumping right in and linking up with Christina, Amanda, & Karli to share 5 things from this past week. //one// I stopped in TJ Maxx the other day and they had the cutest mirrors for $7.99 each!! What?!? I didn’t buy either one because I’m not quite sure where I’d put them (stupid), but I’m hoping they’re there in a few weeks once I have a better idea of how I’ll be decorating the rest of the house. //two// Although I didn’t snag the mirrors, a few shirts did come home with me including this stripped one. It’s super soft and longer in length which is perfect for keeping everything covered…

5 minute Buffalo Chicken Wraps
This recipe is not only delicious (the husband may have eaten two), but it is SO simple that I’m pretty sure you could make this without instructions. The secret ingredient is the already made frozen chicken that just needs to be heated! What You’ll Need: -Buffalo Chicken Bites (we used the Target brand) -8 inch flour tortillas -handful of shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese -Iceburg lettuce, cut in small pieces -Ranch dressing Microwave chicken according to the package. If you like crispier chicken, you can bake it for 10-15 minutes but then they’re no longer 5 minute wraps 🙂 Once the chicken is cooked, slice and place in the…
