Favorite Things Friday: Week 10 (Fun Friday Blog Hop)





I'm so excited that it's the weekend,
I used hot pink on my blog today!

L is going to my parents house for the weekend and that leaves me to fend for myself.
Oh, whatever will I do?
(Actually, she won't be gone an hour and I will miss her.)
But, Mommy's and kiddo's need their time apart-helps build independence
and all that good stuff, right?
Yea.

I do have quite a full weekend planned.
Friday I will be preparing for a small moving sale on Saturday.
Saturday is the moving sale, weather permitting. 
(Please no rain!  I want this crap GONE!)
Sunday I will go down and pick up the kiddo 
and spend some time with the parents. 
It will be a good weekend.
Busy, but good.

Anywhoo!
For this week's favorite things, I am linking up with the Fun Friday Blog Hop! 
Anne and Rea are hosting this week,
and they have a co-host, Zina!

I love doing blog hops! 
I meet so many interesting people that way!

And now...
Onto the favorites!

L to R: Murphy giving some rare cuddle time, a random bird perched on our garage and that quote came to mind, and L enjoying her bath time.


Sadly, that's all there was this week.
This week kicked my butt, honestly.
I'm looking forward to the weekend!

Have a great one lovelies and I will see you all back here Monday!

Favorite Thing's Friday: Week 7

friday favorite things | finding joy

YAY IT'S FRIDAY!  I am so glad that this week is drawing to a close.  No, really, I am.  If you are following me over on Facebook, you know what I am talking about.  If not, let's just say this:  My child has not wanted to sleep in her crib this week.  I have had to let her CIO (cry-it-out) almost every nap time and every bed time this week.  Wednesday night she finally got the message that Mommy wasn't giving in and it took her two minutes to fall asleep.  Lesbehonest:  I am tired, my nerves are shot, and I just want to sleep all weekend.

That last part won't happen, but I have wine, so there is that.

Despite the crappiness in our home this week, the weather outside was beautiful.  So, this Mommy took advantage of that and we were able to put on our summer clothes, flip flops, and get outside almost every day this week.  Hooray for sunshine!

Here are some of the moments I captured this week:



Top Right:  L going down the slide for the first time at the park the other day (all by herself....I was terrified, but she enjoyed it.  Her face doesn't look like it, but she squealed the whole way down and giggled after I got her off the slide.)


Middle Right:  L sleeping on the couch, curled up next to me


Bottom Left:  A bottle of my favorite wine (Seven Daughters) and a sweet card from my husband.

Middle Bottom:  L sporting her princess shades before we left for Target

Bottom Right:  L at the top of the stairs at the park all by herself

And those, my readers, are my favorite things this week!  Have a great weekend and I will see you all Monday to bring you a post on my photo management skills!  Stay tuned!

Until next time,

Favorite Thing's Friday: Week 6

friday favorite things | finding joy


Happy Friday everyone!  This week has gone by quickly, but it has been a really good week!  Here are some of my favorite moments from this week.

We went to a wedding on Saturday.
I am pretty sneaky when it comes to
catching moments like this one.
(The photo and edits are mine.) 

I totally ate this whole thing Sunday night.
Ice cream is just needed sometimes.

Monday afternoon readings of Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs 

Mommy nap time with the fur-babies.
The blackness at the top of the photo is my other cat, Bear.  
Murphy was at the foot of the bed.
Gizmo just wanted to curl up with Mommy in typical Gizmo fashion.

Silently watching Gnomeo & Juliet
(Mommy had a migraine and was being lazy on the couch.) 

Laying on the floor with L watching the sun fade 
through our big picture window. 
(Favorite part of this house.) 


And there you have it!  I hope you all had a wonderful week and that your weekend's are all that you need and want them to be!  We will be celebrating my 30th birthday tomorrow evening and I cannot wait.  My best friend is coming in tomorrow morning and we get to have some one on one time with each other. I am stoked!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Until next time,

Favorite Things Friday: Week 5

friday favorite things | finding joy

Boy, this week went by FAST!  It was just Monday, wasn't it?  Sometimes my weeks go by like this.  It is almost as if I blinked on Monday and got transported into Friday.  Which means, this post is much needed today.

For those of you that are new to our little place here on the web, on Friday's I do a quick post on what some of my favorite thing's were from the last week.  It gives me a chance to unwind from the week and prepare for the weekend.  It also gives you a chance to learn more about me and my life.

Now, I will admit, since this week flew by so fast, there isn't much I was able to capture.  I don't even think I accomplished two thing's on my to-do list this week.  Ha!  Sometimes, that is life. Next week will be slower, hopefully!

Nonetheless, I captured some thing's that I would like to share with you all:

Watching Daddy, Lynzi, & Ellie taking a walk
in our backyard

Driving our car

First wedding anniversary ice cream 

Cuddly toddlers 

A little bit of TV time (We love Elmo around here.)

I turned 30!
You can see how I spent my day here.
 

There was one thing that I couldn't quite capture with a photograph this week and that was you, my reader's.  You guys made it a great week around here by reading, supporting, and having faith.  I haven't heard from anyone that my letter's were sent to, but that is okay.  Perhaps they are still out there, floating around. If they are, they are probably soaking up more love so that when they do reach their destination, they will be dripping and exuding so much peace and love, the family of Martin Richard will feel it and they will know that we care.  It isn't just the destination that is important, it is the journey. 

I will see you all next week for the next and final installment of The Month of 30 Series.  I have many thing's planned for next week.  I will be writing a lot this weekend. :)

Have a great weekend!

Until next time,

Favorite Things Friday: Week 4

friday favorite things | finding joy

We have had some new follower's join us this week, so I just wanted to take the time to say hello and welcome them!  We are just getting started around here, but I love that you come and visit and leave feedback.  I always try to reply to comments pretty quickly, so don't hesitate to leave me a comment.  I love them!  No, really, I do.  I LOVE THEM!  Also, there is currently my first ever blog series taking place this month!  I am very excited and proud of it.  If you need to catch up, you can go here and it will bring you up to date.

Around here on Friday's I like to do what is called Favorite Things Friday.  That is where I compile photo's from the past week of thing's we have done or enjoyed and I share them with you all.  It really helps me to slow down and think about the week we just had.  As some of you may already know, I am a SAHM to a toddler so sometimes we have days that are very trying.  It is nice to have all of these sweet moments captured so that I can look back on them and say, "Yes, yes, that was good this week."

We had some BEAUTIFUL weather this week!  L and I were able to get out of the house for some walks and some play time in the backyard.  Then, the weather turned rainy, we had a tornado warning, and now it is chilly again. :( Despite the rainy and chilly weather yesterday and today, we have had a really great week around here.

Here are some of my favorite moments this week:

Our first walk of the season!

Hunting Easter eggs at Nana and Papa's

Our (shared) daffodils bloomed!

Toddler squeals of delight as they run in the fresh, warm air.

Getting into more imaginative play by playing "Mommy"

Big brother cats thinking they are safe from their little sister

Two words:  FLIP FLOPS!!


And there you have it!  Don't forget!  On Sunday there will be a special post so be watching for that announcement.   Also, next week is the third installment in the The Month of 30 Series.  We will be talking about the things that I have learned the past (almost) thirty years and my twenties.  I will be throwing in a couple of other posts too, so it should be a pretty active week around here next week! 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Until next time,
