Things I am loving Friday #4

I can't believe that the post I was looking forward to most I forgot about! I guess this is what I get for not setting a reminder for myself! Well I am not going to hesitate. Things I am Loving Friday #4 coming at cha! 

These are from Trader Joes and they are addicting. Don't say you weren't warned. Dark chocolate covered Powerberries. 

This magazine is probably my favorite. I have taken so many recipes from them and so far they are all delicious. 

Well this one is kind of considering cheating but I am in love with it, so it must go on this post. This was my Mother's Day present from the hubs. He is so sweet! 

Last but not least. The secret to all women in my family having great skin. I buy the one with an spf, but if your not out in the sun a lot like me then the regular one will work just fine. It doesn't hurt to add a little sun protection to your face cream anyways. 

Let's do a purge

Well clearly things have not slowed down enough for me to blog. So this is a purge post to get back up to speed and ready for "Things I am Loving Friday #4" that I will post tomorrow.


So there has been a lot of food, fun, and lovin.

So it all started when Brian and I went to Brodericks Midtown for some much needed adult time. Also know as drinks and dinner. We have been go, go, go for weeks. This was our time to slow it down.

Then there was my day to day. Clearly depicted in this photo. This is a constant. It's lucky that I love cleaning. Lucky for Averie!

Next up is Dinner at the parents house on Sunday. It was my Grandpa's birthday and we had a great spread of food and wine. Thanks to my Mama.

This kid is too cute in her crocs.

After Sunday was Monday. That is usually how it goes right. Back into the work week. I mixed in some Nitro Coffee at Chocolate Fish on Monday, some watermelon beer for my very first play date on Tuesday. Yep you read that correctly. My first play date. Averie has had many, but none that I have taken her to.

Then a Non-fat vanilla latte at Chocolate Fish on Thursday. I took a friend to pick up her car after work, so she treated to yummy coffee in the morning. I love days where her and I can hang out. 

Then dinner and a bottle, I mean glass of wine. Just a glass. Clearly we were all pooped that night. Averie passed out with her legs propped up on Daddy. 

Next on the list. Friday, man last week flew by. Taking the car in to get serviced. Which is normally not an event, but there was this dreamy machine there. I will take my car in every time if they continue with this kind of service.

Then back to the school to pick up the bug and grab some lunch. 

Then some shopping, stocking, hanging the new screen, another glass of wine, and prepping dinner with this fun find from Trader Joe's. I love that place. This garlic and olive oil flatbread was so good. We topped it with sauce cheese and pepperoni and it was a perfect Friday night dinner. 

Then on Saturday it was Anessa's 20th birthday. We took her out to breakfast, cause that was the only time she could fit us in and we went to Paradise to go Skiing on Grammy's new boat. It was so much fun!!! I think I am going to sell my brand new snowboard and buy a wakeboard I think it will get much more use. That evening Brian and I grilled up some dinner and I worked a little in bed.



Can you believe that was April 25th-30th in a nutshell. I mean where does the time go. This post is long enough so I will spare you all of the eating I have done this week. It has been insane. I have to stop. I am very much looking forward to tomorrow's post. I have so many things I love. Mostly people not things, but I have tried out some new things in the past week that I think are great, and that you all will love.

Well back to work, see you all tomorrow.
