Okay, so it’s not technically spring for another week, but we were blessed with amazing weather this week. 1. Unseasonal Sunshine! Last week we were still below freezing, this week we were in the 60’s and 70’s. Glorious sunshine and warm weather does amazing things for everyone’s mood in the midwest after the winter! I
In honor of Valentine’s Day this weekend, My Friday Five centers around my favorite color – RED! Enjoy five of my current favorite items in red. 1. Favorite Treat – My all time favorite candy only comes out this time of year. Brach’s Cinnamon Jelly Hearts. This year, I was afraid they stopped making them,
It seems ironic that it snowed almost a foot here the day before Groundhog’s Day. Only 6 more weeks of winter would be welcome! Alas, it’s usually longer than that. Snowstorms here often mean lots of fun, pretty trees, aching backs (from shoveling), and frustrating commutes… all in the same day! We’re definitely ready for Friday! 1.
Celebrate good times… come on! It’s nice to have a few things to celebrate in the middle of winter. This week was filled with Todd’s birthday, Carter’s 100th day of school and of course normal work, school, home happenings. 1. Birthday Bash – Todd’s birthday was this week and we had some friends over to
My week included a work trip to NYC at the beginning of the week. Now I’m playing catch up both at the office and at home. Thankfully Todd and Carter held down the fort well while I was gone. 1. Night Sights in Midtown – I arrived in New York City on Monday evening in time to
Happy New Year! We had a pretty relaxing week finishing up some holiday get togethers, ringing in the New Year, sleeping in, watching movies and even getting a few workouts in. I generally take the week off between Christmas and New Years and I’m so glad I did this year too. Todd talked me out of
I hope you all had a joyous time with your families and loved ones over Christmas. My heart (and stomach) felt very full! We’re off to my mom’s today for some more, so here are my Friday Five. 1. Up Before Dawn – Carter is at such a fun age for Christmas. He really believes in
It’s hard to believe we’re less than a week out from Christmas. Where does the time go? I still have some last minute shopping to do and a lot of things to finish up at the office before I’m off for the holidays. With that, here’s this week’s Friday Five. 1. Pretty Lights – It
It’s that time again – thank goodness. Friday.. Friday… Friday! I had a nasty virus that knocked me off my feet for a few days, so I’m happy to report I’m back to feeling mostly myself again. Here’s My Friday Five for the week. 1) Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town – My office has
Happy Friday! We had a fairly typical week with work, school and a few ounces of fun thrown in. 1. Twinkle Twinkle – While it’s always a bit of work to get the tree out and decorated, it looks so magical when it’s all lit up. We spent most of last Saturday cleaning up the
