FRIDAY FAVORITES....HELLO APRIL

Wait…This is April? Well this week it was January cause you should’ve seen the snow and wind that flew on Wednesday. Crazy stuff. I was out shopping for my planters and porch décor in my winter coat, the wind whipping and driving on yucky roads. Sun is now shining as I write this and it’s a balmy 32 degrees. However, we are to wake up to more snow on the ground. But no mind, the weekend is here and I hope yours is sunshiny and great!

1. Celebrations
Boys were scattered and College-ing so Easter was just Mr. Nine and I and my mama. Brunch was scrumptious and the birthday was quiet this year. That’s ok cause next year I’ll be on a beach drinking a fruity cocktail…or two.

Barelegged and freezing, mom was smart. 

 Look at this deliciousness and the mimosa of the day was a pear/cinnamon..yummy! 

Mr. Nine got me the perfect float to officially kick off the month of pool install, I blew out candles on my key lime pie of which I had two pieces that morning, Nine Guy also got me a Coral Yeti (coral is my favorite color) and I got my free Starbucks! Hey Starbucks, you used to offer the birthday bevi free anytime in your birthday month, now it’s only the day of.

2. Gifts of Love

There are tons of you all who made this birthday extra special and I wanted to share some of the delightful gifts that landed on my doorstep. My heart is overflowing with love for each one of you that sent texts, messages, tweets, comments and gifts. You have helped me get through this transitional time in my life more than you’ll ever now and I treasure you near and far. Most of all, the friendship and love I share with all of you is my greatest gift of all.

Lana from My New Happy 

Lana is one of my Blended Blog sisters who I had the pleasure of meeting on Our TBB Toronto Trip last year. This lady is the real deal and she lights up a room with your warm, calm presence. Adore her!

Laura from The Horton Family 

This curly blonde babe is a bestie of mine. She has a heart as big as they come, her sass, wit, strength and beauty amazing me daily! Look at the Glam Bar Cart additions!

My Sister-In-Law and Brother-In-Law and Fam 

I am sooo lucky to call this family mine. Mr. Nine’s only sister is as precious as they come as is our BIL, niece and nephew!! Love them to pieces. Look, even some “9” Lotto tixs! 

Missy from My Shitty Kitchen

If I ever do win the lottery, I am hiring Missy to come cook for me. Isn’t the title of her blog hilarious? This lawyer by day, chef for fun by night and weekends is the prettiest, most talented gal in NOLA!

Emily from Martini's and Bikini's 

Emily was another one of the first blogs I read and her heart is the greatest! Everyone said the card looked like me and that’s exactly what Em thought. This girl is my personal ray of Florida sunshine!

My Mama
You all know how I feel about my mom and you all helped make her feel special too last November. I could write tons of blog posts about this lady but you all know already that she is the hippest, sweetest, most precious mom ever! She makes life fun and special!

AND How CUTE is this outfit she got me in Florida!! I'm thinking lounging by the pool or date day by water!!! 

And another TBB sista, sweet Carrie put the cherry on top with her sweet Post today over at The Blended Blog. Thank you my precious friend!! I'm so humbled and honored!

Isn't she the cutest!!

5. Misc.Fun
Hint ~ The Pineapple Flavor 
Completely natural flavored water with 0 calories and no after taste? I am so in. I tried this in some other flavors a while back and it was tasty, just the right “hint” of fruit flavor but the pineapple (which I found at Target) has my heart!! Will be my go to Summer Beverage. 

Front Door Mat
This door mat is so great. I had sitting there a much smaller, regular size so I was so excited to see Target had the cutest larger ones that suits the front door so much better. It's 23x35 and on sale for 15% off this week, so it is under $20.
