Happy Friday!!! These weeks are flying by and I’m definitely not complaining. Summer weekends are just the best. This weekend is even more special because we’ll be celebrating the husband’s 34th birthday all weekend long, complete with presents and cake on Sunday, his actual day of birth. My 5 this week are ideas for celebrating your man’s birthday that don’t include a deck of cards with 52 ways I love you written on them. //one// Although I’m not a Jack Daniel’s fan, my husband is and these cupcakes are the perfect mix of dessert and booze so you really can’t go wrong. source //two// This is almost as cheesy as…

This week absolutely flew by, but I’m not complaining one bit! This weekend J and I hope to sneak away to catch a movie and we have lots of work to get done around the house including painting a few rooms and finish stripping and staining our deck. Sunday we have a fun little river trip planned with the boys so let’s hope the rain holds off. But before the weekend officially begins, let’s get to my 5 from this week. //one// After Ben’s baseball game last week we enjoyed dinner and a drink on the patio at our local brewery. Their Moscow Mules are the best and I’m determined…

I’m back! Between computer/photo issues and a week long sinus infection, I’m feeling better and  ready to share what we’ve been up to these last couple of weeks. One.  We’ve been spending as much time outside as possible and trying to keep up with our crazy weather which switches from 70 degrees one day to 35 degrees the next. The forecast for this weekend has everything from rain to snow and then temps in the 60’s so needless to say I’m ready for Spring and some consistent weather. Two. J and I have made an effort to go on a few dates lately with just the two of us and…

Well we finally made it to the end of the week. Did anyone else feel like this week just creeped by? Let’s get this weekend started with my 5 from the week. One. I’ve been obsessed with succulents lately and the fact that they are virtually kill proof is a bonus. I’ve already asked J to help me make a little planter box this weekend so stay tuned. source unknown Two. Ben’s school had a fundraiser at McDonalds and it was the first time I’d eaten inside an actual McDonalds in forever. Despite my better judgement, the kids got to play in the play place followed by a bath the…

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve linked up with Christina & Karli so even though it’s late, I’m getting it done. One. Our week started off rough. Jack ended up having an ear infection and Ben woke up in the middle of the night with a 102 fever and tummy ache. After some antibiotics for Jack and rest for Ben, they were both feeling better within 24 hours. Two. Wednesday night Ben and I made cupcakes and Valentines for his school party. I found a cute printable on ETSY for Jack’s and Ben gave out glow sticks. I go back and forth every year between homemade valentines and store bought. Ain’t no shame…
