Linking up with the usual ladies for 5 on Friday.  Christina, Karli, & Amanda One. Jack’s new thing in the morning is to sit on the counter next to me while I make breakfast.  Two. My dad is the only one in our family who likes sweet potatoes which means no one ever makes them for Thanksgiving. This year I want to make him (and my very first) sweet potato casserole. I’ve found a few recipes on Pinterest but would love to see which ones you have.  via Three. Ben got this certificate yesterday at school. They are teaching all the kindergartener’s to tie their shoes and he mastered it in one…

This week has been a rough one. Jack had a fever most of the week from what I thought was just teething and a little cold. I took him to the doctor and it turns out he had an ear infection. Now that he’s on antibiotics he’s doing much better and thankfully his fever is gone. On top of a sick baby, work has been crazy busy hosting our annual conference, and I also helped with lunches during teacher appreciation at Ben’s school.  I’m glad the week’s just about over and we can focus on having fun tonight and this weekend!  Let’s get to my 5 for the week. One.…

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have something wonderful planned for the weekend but before the weekend can officially begin, let’s recap  my 5 things from the week. One. I reorganized my closet and did a major purge. Did you know we’ve all been organizing our closets the wrong way? I’ll do a full post on this next week and hopefully after reading it you’ll have the same ah-ha moment that I did. Two. My husband bought this. Two cases to be exact. Apparently Surge was re-released and being sold on Amazon so he snatched some up. I think someone is trying to relive his childhood? Three. On Sunday…

I’m running short on time so let’s jump right in! One. Last week I posted my love of yellow and navy together and this week I sported the combination with my new navy cardigan from Forever 21. These cardigans aren’t the best quality but they were only $8 and are actually pretty soft.  Two. We got out Rock Band the other night and Jack rocked the drums. He even threw the drumsticks after his set in typical drummer fashion. Three. I’ve been wanting to make this baked spaghetti ever since I saw it online. It sounds like a mix between spaghetti and lasagna and I think it would be the…

I missed the first Five on Friday since it’s return, but this week I’m back and ready to share. One. I finally got my fall decorations out. I don’t why I was dreading buying mums but I was. Is that weird? I got this HUGE one at Walmart of all places for $5! It was originally $9.98, but as I was leaving the garden center the manager said to make sure it rings up half off since it’s already bloomed. Say what?  Two. I also got the 2 giant pumpkins above at Walmart as well. As much as I love pumpkin patches, it’s just not realistic for us right now…
