Hi friend!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for a fresh, new week!  We had a really lovely time with my family yesterday.

We had all kinds of yummy food including coffee cake, chocolate chip banana bread, blueberry muffins, kolaches, donuts, cookies, plus fruit and a meat and cheese tray.  And don’t forget the mimosas!

My mom loved her gift and I also got her and my two sisters a little bouquet of flowers (the glass vases came in a set of three),

Hi friend! Welcome to a brand new week!  I’m looking forward to getting my body moving again after what feels like a long hiatus from my favorite exercise classes.  I have been taking advantage of our beautiful weather and taking 30 minutes walks outside.  It doesn’t take long and it’s so good for you!

Today, I have a new Loves giveaway that I’m really excited about!

Hi friend!  I’m so excited for February!  Lots of good things happen in this month!  First of all, it’s both mine and my daughter’s birthday month, plus Valentine’s Day and the Super Bowl!  We’ll also be celebrating one of my good friend’s birthdays with a spa party and some of my girlfriends are coming in town to celebrate my birthday.  I love all this girlfriend time!

I also have a new LOVES GIVEAWAY for you and this one is a good one!  In honor of my birthday, I’m gifting myself a bag I’ve been drooling over for ages and since it’s more fun to share,

Hi friend!  Tonight is our Favorite Things Party and I’m so excited for it!  We had to do it virtually last year, so that makes it extra special this year!  It’s always so much fun to just get together with girlfriends (in jammies!) and eat, drink, talk, laugh, and of course, exchange gifts!

If you’re thinking of hosting your own favorite things party, or are just curious about how it works, go here.  I wrote a detailed description of how we do it and how we make it super easy!

Hi friend!  It’s a day off for my kiddos from school and I could use one more day of weekend too!  This weekend was nonstop, starting with Jordan’s soccer game on Saturday morning, a trip to Target for things for the guest room, laundry, cleaning, and then baby shower prep for our friend Marianna!

The baby shower was at my house yesterday and was so fun and special.  Ali-Shaun did most of the heavy lifting and planned a thoughtful woodland themed shower with books as a specific gift for baby.  I’ll be sharing more on Stories today if you want to see how it came together.

Hi friends!  I hope you’ve had an awesome week and are looking forward to the weekend.  It’s the last weekend before school starts!!  I really can’t believe how fast it’s gone!  We’ll be getting some pool time in and making sure we have everything ready to start school next week.

This week was a fun one on the blog where I shared my closet with you, the best sales, dorm room essentials and today I have a new Loves GIVEAWAY!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends on Sunday and prices go to full price on Monday,

Hi friends!  Welcome back to my blog and hello if you’re new!  I’m so glad you’re here!  I hope you had a wonderful long weekend.

One of our highlights was James and Jordan fishing for the very first time in the pond that backs up to Brian’s parent’s house.  The kids loved it and James caught three catfish!  How’s that for beginner’s luck?!  He was so stoked and now he can’t wait to go again!

We also celebrated my brother’s 40th birthday, hung out at the pool, made s’mores, and I even managed to squeeze in a workout yesterday. 

Hi friends!  I hope your week is off to a great start! Today I’m back with a new LOVES and I hope today’s GIVEAWAY sprinkles some sunshine into your day!
