Happy Friday and Cinco de Mayo!! Are you having tacos tonight? May, how did it become May so quickly? I LOVE May..Mother's Day, seeing my Blended Blog sister's this month, boys home for the summer, our wedding anniversary..so much goodness leading to the ultimate: Sweet SUMMERTIME!!
1. These Guys
My two college boys are officially home for the summer. This was last Saturday when we brought home half the dorm for one of them
Mr. Nine is going to get the other half of this one's dorm room tomorrow.
And this smart is from one to 3 once again.
From Last Night's 3 hour awards banquet
2. Treats and Mexican
I don't eat a lot of ice cream and only really love it from our popular ice cream stand but what a yummy little snack on a hot day. Really good...or in my case, on cold day...not really "Hot" yet in our neck of the Indiana woods, lol
and in honor of Cinco de Mayo, My favorite "dip the chip in recipe":
Chunky Black Bean Salsa
Recipe HERE
Maybe tonight should be a Mexican and Ice Cream kind of night!!
or Cupcakes...
Rachel from A Blonde's Moment made the most yummy looking Churro Cupcakes this
week.

3. Week's Attire
Nordstrom Top, Kendra Scott necklace
Ross Dress, Fashion Bella necklace, Anne Klein pumps
4. LuLaRoe
My amazing and beautiful friend Emily from Martinis and Bikinis got me my first pair of LuLaRoe leggings and I am in love! Like butter I tell ya. So soft and comfy. You know they are a hit, when you walk in the room and within 2 minutes your Mr. says "I really like your new work-out pants." I'm thinking more lounge around, run errands pants but I'll take it!!! lol. Thanks sweet Emily!! You know me girl!

5. Misc. Fun
My mom had the sweetest friend, her name is Chris and she has such a giving heart. A couple decades ago, I sort of matched them as friends through my friend who I worked with and was Chris's Hair stylist. She moved away but has since come back and she and my mama are partners in crime. She thought of me when she saw this and surprised me with it. How cute is this sweet Pineapple!! #HelloSummer
Amen
#summergoals
Wishing you a Festive and Beautiful weekend!!

Happy Friday and happy first week of May! From the moment I saw those gorgeous flowers (swoon!) and heard all that you're enjoying and anticipating this month, I haven't stopped smiling! Hooray for meeting your blended blog friends this month, getting your boys home, and your anniversary! So much happiness, deliciousness, and beauty here (as usual, sweet friend)! Wishing you the best first weekend of May! Lotsa love to you, darlin'!! xo - Brenda // ChattingOverChocolate.com
ReplyDeleteSo exciting that your boys are home for summer! And thank you so much for sharing the churro cupcake post! Looking at them now, I wish I still had some leftover but my office ate them in two days -- and there are only 6 people in my office haha! I might have to make more so I can have one today. Have a great weekend, Andrea, and Happy Cinco de Mayo!

So much excitement this month! I am glad the boys are home. I'm not sure I'll be able to take little dude going away to college. It's acceptable for me to move with him, right? Or perhaps the teenage years will make me ready to kick him out the door?! Have a great weekend, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteHooray for your boys coming home for the summer!!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your outfits are gorgeous and I love the leggings inspiration.
Tacos and ice cream tonight? Sounds perfect!
Your Friday posts always make me happy!! I am loving the Nordstrom top from above and of course, I have the Kendra Scott necklace! You are rocking those leggings lady. Have a great weekend with all of your guys home!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home to you boys! Love those colorful leggings! I just bought a really "colorful" pair and was not sure if I like them or not. After seeing the different styles on your post, I think I will know better how to style a top with them. Thanks sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteYAY for being all under one roof again!! LOVE that Quote!! And all the pineapples!! I wore a pineapple shirt this week...shoulda snapped a pic! Can't wait to meet you in two weeks!!
ReplyDeleteI love your list of favorites today. I bet you are so happy to have all of your boys under your roof again. Yay for summer break! Happy Friday Andrea!
ReplyDeleteLove your tops from Loft and Nordstrom with the ruffle on the bottom. I bet you're super happy to have a full house with all your babies under one roof. They will always be babies, right? No matter how old they are! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI know you are thrilled to have them home! We have so enjoyed having our youngest home these past few months. And, if all goes well with her interview on Monday...we may get her home for a bit more time.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if LuLaRose is a US thing? I've never seen them in Canada but I've seen them a lot online. They look great and you wear the bold print like a champ!
ReplyDeleteThat salsa looks amazing! And YAY for having your boys home for the summer, must be such an incredible feeling <3

You look fabulous as always. My favorite days are the ones where you don't even think of your phone. I'm going to hop on a plane to enjoy some cinco de mayo treats with you! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYay for the all boys to be home! I love having a full house with lots of love... And I am already celebrating Cinco De Drinko with a mimosa in hand! Happy Weekend :)

We just got a Blaze pizza in Lansing! I've been once but I definitely need to go back soon! And you look too cute in your Lularoe leggings. What a great pattern. Happy Friday, friend!
ReplyDeleteHey gorgeous! Loving all your looks in this post. Yay that the boys are home! I hope you ENJOY this weekend - and yes we're having tacos! xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteMy step daughter started selling LulaRoe so I'm on a frenzy of leggings right now. Loving the comfort of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree- so many wonderful things in May! Also- love that quote about doing the things that make you forget your phone- I feel like I'm finally living that!
ReplyDeleteI bet you are over the moon that your boys are all home! I know you will enjoy having them there.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen those ice cream treats but they look so good!
Loving your leggings, so fun and bright -- just like you! :)

That keychain is so you! Your pizza place looks similar to one we have here in Houston called Mod Pizza- going there next week for a free pizza for teachers! I love throwing pretzels and M&Ms in vanilla ice cream- so tasty! Have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteOkay I want that salsa and the churro cupcakes please and thank you! Yay for time with the boys. Cute leggings too!

Happy Friday and happy Cinco de Mayo! Our plan is tacos tonight. We were going to go out but it's pouring here and most of the restaurants were planning for things outside. That must be such a good feeling to have your boys back home. You are all going to have such a great summer! Enjoy your weekend! xo Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteBlaze sounds like such a fun concept for a pizza store, and that pineapple keychain you got is seriously so cute! I can't believe that it's May already too, but I'm looking forward to celebrating Cinco De Mayo today! I hope that you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Cinco de Mayo. I hope you are enjoying that salsa. Looks really good. Yay for your sons being home. I hope you have the best weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh I know that you are just thrilled to have your babies home for the summer!!!! My cousin will be home for the summer starting this weekend and we are so glad to have her back for a few months!
ReplyDeleteWe have a pizza place called Your Pie down here in the south and it's just like Chipotle where you build your own pizza, too. We LOVE it. We go there once every week or two. I can't get enough!
Your boys are so handsome. That pizza looks so yummy. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your boys are home for the summer!!
ReplyDeleteLove all your outfits!! I ordered the wedges from JcPenny and LOVE them!
The Churro Cupcakes look awesome! I wish I had time to make cupcakes today, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteHappy Cinco de Mayo, beautiful!!! How handsome are your boys!? I love coming by and checking out all the fun stuff you have going on! I hope you have such a wonderful weekend!! xo

All of your outfits are great. :) I haven't heard of Blaze Pizza, but it sounds like the Pieology place that we have here. Mexican food sounds great right now. I don't always want ice cream, but lately I have been on a kick for Magnum ice cream bars; they are decadent.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until you try LuLaRoe dresses! They are even better :)
ReplyDeleteI got my first pair of LuLaRoe leggings as a Christmas gift. I'm actually wearing them right now. They are my favorite pj pants.
ReplyDeleteSo many fun things today sweet Andreaa!!! You look way too cute in those leggings and that top! Love it!!! I've never really tempted by the whole LuLaRoe thing until seeing you in those😍. Have a wonderful weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteLove love love those LLR leggings on you and so glad you like them! I told you how soft and amazing they feel. Too funny about Mr Nine's comment. I guess they can be used for working out but may be too delicate. Hope you're having a fabulous weekend!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI haven't jumped on the LLR legging bandwagon yet, but I love the floral pairs. I bet you are so excited to have your sons home for the weekend. May is indeed a fun month and bring on the summer!

We have a Blaze pizza location not far from where we live. It is REALLY good!!! I love those leggings too!! So cute. All of your boys (including your hubby) are all so good looking! Can someone please send over some warmer weather too? So that I can enjoy some ice cream too? Haha. I hope that you had a good Cinco de Mayo and that you are having a lovely weekend so far too! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad all your boys are home for the summer! The pizza looks amazing...the closest one to us is on Michigan Road...easier to get to than the IUPUI campus location. Leggings are adorable...cute, cute, cute... Love the pineapple key chain! Enjoy your weekend...xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am sooo dreading packing up Stephanie's apartment next weekend and I'm kinda bummed because it's Mother's Day weekend and Girlie does not get in a hurry about anything. (Insert eye roll) But anyway! I know you are SO excited to have those handsome men home for the summer!! And I'm so jelly about your "workout pants" and meeting blog friends later this month! Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely having the boy's home isn't it Andrea!? My boys will be home in a few months. Love all your outfits, especially your red top :) Thanks for sharing at the weekend blog hop
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to have the boys home? We picked Thomas up yesterday and get him for over 3 months! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh I can Imagine that youre boys are back! Time to enjoy the most beautiful time of the year! Spring!
ReplyDeleteBet you're so glad to have your boys home. Enjoy yourself Andrea. x Jacqui

I know you are so happy your boys are home! I remember having to move all of my stuff out of my dorm freshman year....it was not fun at all! And a student gifted me with a pair of LulaRoe leggings this past week and they are my first ones. I put them on (yes, so comfy) and Dustin reacted the same as your husband haha!

Glad your boys are home after a successful school year! Mmm those churro cupcakes looks so good! Love your leggings! Love the inspiration for Lularoe leggis! I don't like their tops so I never buy the bottoms because I don't know how to wear them!
ReplyDeleteI know you are just beside yourself to have your boys home for summer! I have not had pizza in probably over a month and that looks so good....I am almost positive Blaze pizza was on the list of places we are getting soon here.
ReplyDeleteLove that pineapple key chain and Ross dress! I bet it feels good to have your family together!
ReplyDeleteOHHHH, I love Blaze Pizza!!! Just had my first one this winter. SO glad the family is back home...there is nothing better than that:)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I need those blue bunny bites in my life!! How fun your boys are home! I know you must be over the moon!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely that you have all your boys back for a little while. You must miss them terribly! I love the photos you get of you guys together - you always look so cute!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy sweetie!
