Can you believe April is rolling by this quick? We actually have
had a nice warm front these last couple days but highs of 40’s again this
weekend. I’ll take what I can get especially outside workouts!! It is Friday
the 13th but I’m not superstitious so let’s all have a super sweet Fri-YAY!!
1. More Gal Pal Fun
In no particular order, let me gush over 3 more of my favorite peeps. I literally could do entire posts on how much so many of you mean to me and how your blogs enrich people’s lives. I was so excited to receive 3 more boxes of packages this week from these amazing friends of mine who I am hoping to meet in person sometime.
How fun are these goodies and The Flip Floppies match a new cover up I got!!! Just love Navy and coral together!
Look at those FIT legs!
I call this hysterically hilarious and real beauty my lil sis. I’m
honored to be the Big Sis. This girl keeps me motivated to never give up the
fitness quest. We share a love of pineapples, Country music, football, bodies of
water, digging in the dirt and positivity. I’m telling you what, you are in for
a treat when you read her BLOG. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this
peach should write a book! I’d be first in line for my autographed copy.
Just look this pineapple goodness and I needed beach towels!! The
earrings happen to match the early birthday gift from her, you may remember : The Pineapple Shoes!
You can BUY them in a different strap shade HERE

My precious Floridian friend, Kellyann warms my heart and 13
happens to be her favorite number! Boy do we have stuff in common too;
same fashion sense, a love of cooking and baking (she makes my recipes!),
fitness, and teen/college boys. This girl is a counselor by day and fun loving,
wonderful mother and wife by night. She can shop til she drops and always looks
so put together. Her words and support lift me up. Such a true friend! You must check out her
fashionable and fun BLOG, I mean the name in
itself is so awesome and stylish.
Kate from Green Fashionista
This girl knows we go on our beloved Lake Michigan vacation every summer & gets me goodies to take along! Just look how cute this pom drink holder and jet set travel bag are!
Another precious Floridian (former Connecticut girl)
friend of mine, Kate, was one of the first bloggers I read when I started
blogging. This girl is fit and fierce. We share a love of sunshine, our pink
Rebecca Minkoff clutch, poolside cocktails, leopard, fitness, travel, brunch and all
things Champs! Oh, how we love our Champagne! Kate and her hubby have the most
fun weekends and the most precious little girlie! And she is real life great
friend of my darling Emily. Can’t wait to hug em’ both one day in person. Her BLOG is so chic!
2. Books
I am so grateful to have the time to read again and am going to my new library soon to sign up for a card. Thanks to Amazon Prime, and the pile I had growing, I have read several goodies in the past month like

blogger friends book recommendations are the most honest.

DEAR TBB
In case you missed it, on Thursday's, the TBB and myself are compiling answers to your Questions for us! Yesterday's POST was a goodie!
Pool Install
Our #9
He finally got to pitch after weather cancelled games and while we were still bundled up like eskimos, they won a thriller!
Shopbop SALE!!
Oh friends this is a goodie because you get 20-25% off designer brands that rarely go on sale. Time for a new Tory Burch Purse perhaps? Oh how I want that one! Or some darling Espadrilles!
Keep the partaaaay going all weekend long friends!!

I can’t believe how fast April is flying by either!! I literally feel like it was just Christmas! Haha!! How exciting about your pool!! That’ll be amazing to have this summer!! Have a fabulous weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see you in your earrings and shoes and I'm sure you can't wait either since that'll mean it's warm there! I am so excited for your pool - you are going to love lounging by the pool reading a book and sipping a cocktail this Summer! Wasn't Liar so good? I just finished a so-so book last night so now I'm on to finding another equally disturbing psychological thriller, lol, what does that say about me? I'm not sure! Have the very best weekend my beautiful friend you are precious!

Happy Friday, Andrea! YAY for a pool going in! We had a pool growing up, and it was the absolute BEST! One day...maybe! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteSO many goodies, I'm still loving those pineapple sandals and now I need that Free People top. You are the sweetest with your shoutout, and yes to our champs! But the biggest YAY is for the pool being underway, so exciting! You'll be floating around in it with a cocktail in no time <3
ReplyDeleteGreen Fashionista
So many great gifts! I'm glad you've had lots of reading time now too!
ReplyDeleteI had way too much fun looking through the Shopbop sale but convinced myself not to buy anything. I've sort of been on a spending spree lately and it had to stop somewhere! I love all the goodies you got from your sweet blogging friends. You and pineapples will forever go together in my mind!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that young one #9 is getting to pitch! His dreams have come true, I'm sure! As for you, Mama! The gifts just keep giving as they should since you're the best one of all!! AND I just downloaded that Liar book! Can't wait to read it! Have a fun weekend, Andrea!! Pool season will be here before we know it!

ReplyDeleteLisa
Goodness, girl! You got some great birthday packages!! I love it, just love it. For my birthday last summer, I actually had a pineapple themed party and my friend brought me a pineapple pitcher and a little pineapple charm. So cute! I don't have nearly as much pineapple stuff as you, tho! I LOVE that drink holder with the pom poms!

I feel like I literally get hearts in my eyes every time I see a little peek of your closet! I CANNOT WAIT for the reveal! And girl, a pool?! You lucky lady! I wouldn't even know what to do with myself!
ReplyDeleteI adore that Free People top. I need to add it to my collection. How sweet of those girls to send you gifts. Kate is a favorite blogger of mine. Her daughter is just too cute. I still need those pineapple shoes!!! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou got some great mail this week! Yay for pools, going to be fun this summer! And that free people sweater, perfection! Happy weekend lovely lady!

ReplyDeleteThat drink holder with the danglies... so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI dont see pineapple things out now & not think of you :)
I've been wanting some interesting books to read! I will have to put Liar on my list! Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteThat’s so exciting about your pool getting installed! And I’m definitely going to have to remember Liar when I’m ready to pick up a new book! It sounds like a great thriller! I hope that you have a fantastic weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo many cute birthday gifts! You really got spoiled from so many blogger ladies this year. Looking forward to seeing how your pool turns out. So exciting! Have a wonderful weekend sweet lady! Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteI know I can't believe April is mid way already it's crazy isn't it? I hope the rest of your April is a wonderful one, and it's wonderful to come across your blog.

I love those navy and coral flip flops! SO many wonderful goodies.
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun checking out your fun blog buddy birthday surprises. Such cute stuff! I can't wait to see your pool construction. It looks like the pool structure is totally different from the way they construct down here. Here they build a rebar structure and then spray the concrete (gunnite) directly on it. Interesting. :) Can't wait to check out liar too!
ReplyDeleteOh, I see a lot of fun around the corner with the new pool. And, isn't amazing what great friends we can make through our blogs. I get to meet one of mine next week while I'm in Des Moines. I'm so excited! Have yourself a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove those sweet packages you got!! It just goes to show how many people love you!! And yay for the pool install! This summer is going to be a fun one!!

ReplyDeleteHappy weekend sweetie! oh, seeing that picture of a pool gives me hope. as that is one thing on my wishlist for our next house. I love to swim and its good for my condition.

Your friends sent you some fun goodies :)
ReplyDeleteIt is brilliant that you have developed some great friendships through blogging - the gifts are so thoughtful and fun. Love your target sweater! And you are soooo lucky getting a pool installed (and having the weather for it). Hope you had a great week-end - Joanne x
ReplyDeleteAll of your outfits are so cute!! I am on the list for The Woman in the Window and The Wife Between Us at the library. I will have to add Liar to the list as well. You know I am always looking for a good book! I just started reading my ARC of Bring Me Back from BA Paris this morning on the treadmill! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting about the pool going in - I know you cannot wait! I enjoyed seeing all of your cute gifts. Those pineapple sandals are too cute! You have given me some reading to add to my wish list, too. Thanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday!

It's shocking how fast this year is moving, isn't it?! At least the weather is now starting to (Slowly) warm up! I've started to move by winter things out of my wardrobe in favour of warmer weather clothes. Let's hope it stays!!
