One. I’m DYING to go on a trip somewhere. Especially overseas 🙂 Since we’re moving and buying a new house in just a few months this trip won’t be happening anytime soon but J and I are going on a little overnight date to St. Louis in February to see Hozier. Although it’s just one night, it’ll be nice to get away just the two of us. Two. Forever 21 has been killing it with their jewelry lately. Most of their necklaces are around $5 and pretty good quality for cheap costume jewelry.  Three.  I love me some Veggie Straws but I think I love Veggie Chips even more. Have…

This 5 on Friday is a little different than my normal Friday posts. Today I’m bringing you my top 5 favorite posts from 2014. One. This post about Brotherly Love still makes me cry today. Two. My Chipotle Inspired Rice recipe is not only a favorite around our house but you all seemed to love it as well! Three. Our vacation to Gulf Shores can be found here, here, & here. Four. One of my best friends got MARRIED! And the wedding was beautiful! Five. And whether you agree with me or not, this post will hopefully get you thinking. A few other honorable mentions include deluxe breakfast casserole, my Goodwill Haul, fixing a cake disaster, Jack turning ONE, & Bachelorette in Chicago. Linking up…

How is Christmas less than 2 weeks away?! I have a few gifts left to get and I hope to knock those out this weekend. One. Ben came down with a stomach bug yesterday but it seemed to be short lived and he was feeling better by the end of the day. You know this wild man doesn’t feel good when he sleeps all day. Two. I volunteered to help put together Ben’s school directory and have spent the last few nights organizing and entering addresses and phone numbers into excel. It amazes me how messy some people’s handwriting is or how some parent’s let their kids fill out the…

Did this week fly by for anyone else? I can’t believe it’s already Friday although I’m definitely not complaining. Let’s get to this week’s 5. One. Our Elf on the Shelf, Sparkle, was a few days late but finally arrived on Wednesday night. He usually brings a little gift with him when he comes and this year he brought matching Christmas pajamas for the boys. Ben LOVES pjs so he was thrilled and Jack was beyond himself with the elf. We let Jack touch him when he first arrived and now he doesn’t understand why he can’t play with Sparkle. The struggle is real. Two. Speaking of things Jack can’t…

Happy Friday! Thankfully this week went by fast and we’ve got a pretty fun weekend planned. Wherever you are and whatever you do, I hope you have a wonderful weekend! One. If you look really close you’ll see little specks of snow. Thursday was the first snow of the year and although it didn’t accumulate I couldn’t believe it. It’s currently 16 degrees out now and I’m wondering where in the heck did Fall go? Two. Have you all started Christmas shopping? I’ve gotten a few things here and there so my goal this weekend is to take inventory of what I have and what I still need to get. …
