FRIDAY FAVORITES...THE 4TH IS ALMOST HERE

This is a very Happy Friday indeed! I’m finishing up the packing and I am in vacation mode before it even starts! I hope your week has been wonderful and you’re excited for some summer fun!

1. BIRTHDAY BOY & PIE
My beloved has a birthday Sunday. One year away from the big 5-0! The most fabulous news for him is that he gets to be on vacation in our favorite lake town to celebrate. Woohoo. I’m already thinking what we will do next year for the big one. It may fall on our vacay again, but it will be hard to top the fun party I threw him for his fortieth. True story, I hired DJ’s and one of them was a guy who stood me up for a semi-formal my jr. year of high school. While 20+ years later, He actually apologized. Lol. Anyway, I am beyond blessed to do Life with this birthday boy.
He is my partner, my best friend and I’m his biggest fan!


His favorite pie is rhubarb so every year my sweet mom makes him a pie with his initial on top. Her rhubarb its delicious and with a scoop of ice cream on top, well, Mr. Nine is a happy camper! I'll have her share her recipe sometime.

 


Cheers to my babe!

Posts of the Week  

Favorite Beauty Products 
On Sunday, I shared my favorite beauty products on my Instagram stories and since several of you were interested, I decided to link them up here as well.

*The Kopari Coconut Melt is the best softener, for your skin, for your hair, I even had a fellow Blogger friend tell me she used it on her daughter’s softball mitt!

*I have finally found the perfect face serum for me; I just love the Estee Lauder advanced night repair Serum. I use it right before bed and first thing in the morning.

*The Bumble and Bumble thickening Spray gives my roots the boost they need since my hair tends to be flat.

*This is absolutely the best, stay long CND Topcoat! While I do my own nails, if I paint them a different color, I use this, and I definitely use it on my toenails to keep the polish lasting lots longer especially in the summer water and sand!

Sweet Daisy 
Sweet Daisy is finally feeling better. She had been kind of sluggish, so we started her on the vet recommended CBD oil and after three weeks of antibiotic’s to heal up a mouth infection and having her teeth scaled, she seems to be feeling much better, she just loves rolling around in the grass in the sunshine!

Pineapple Tee 
Did you know that yesterday was national pineapple day? I did not even know until my friend Lisa told me about it. Ironically right before I got her message, I had just purchased this adorable Lauren Conrad burn out T-shirt at Kohl’s. The little pineapples with the sequins are just perfect!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

BOHO BABES & TBB FALL FASHION LINK-UP

Boho got me like YES! So excited to be heading the prompt today over at and checking out all my Boho babes out there. This lady loves a fun bohemian style and I’ll keep my flares forever! 
I saw this Sweater on ShopBop and knew the bright colors with the baby blue stripe would look awesome with my flared jeans. It just made the perfect Boho sense and these sleeves, these sleeves are sooo FUN!



And why is it, I always feel the need to either wear a braid of some sort or a hat when I dress boho? Here is a little side braid and luck was on our side of our last Fall getaway day when the winds finally died down enough to get these photos. my sweet Mr. Nine did a great job. I love how this color really pops. And these Earrings, under $10, were perfect with it. There are so many color choices of these awesome earrings too! 

And make sure to read HERE how my sweet friend Amy Ann of Straight A Style Blog wore this sweater. You'll adore her look and the pants she chose.

FRIDAY FAVORITES...ICE CREAM EDITION

Happy Happy Friday loves! It’s been a great sun shiny week with lots of pool chillin’! Maybe an ice cream scoop or two. And Yes, yes, I did participate a bit in the #NSale but I won't bore you with that just yet. Except for this reply form the gotta be giddy Nordstrom Marketing Crew:

How about you? Hope it’s been a great Summer week and here’s to the weekend! I'm headed to a Farmer's stand today for the first sweet corn of the season so tonight it's BLT's and buttery Corn on the Cob for dinner! 

1. Blogger Spotlight: 
Amy Ann from Straight A Style
Amy Ann Happens to be one of my favorite fashion bloggers in the entire world!! She is a tall (she is 5’10”) glass of pure sunshine!! I think I have pretty much adored everything she has ever worn and her color palettes inspire! Amy Ann and her husband have been blessed with little Ivy Jean who is always styling just as sweetly as her mama. Was so tickled the week to see her in such a lovely Pineapple Print Dress. Amy Ann always sports the CUTEST statement shoes so you will LOVE this post on How to Style Them! We share a major love for kimonos snd This Kimono she styled is one of my all-time favorites! Something else I adore about this Princess is her modesty and love of midi dresses. Just look how angelic she looks in This one! She also has a knack for Styling a piece in several ways!! I thought she was perfect of this summer ice cream edition of Friday Favorites because her colors often remind me of sweet ice cream shop hues!! Adore this Jesus loving mama and style sensation!
 
Amy Ann is drop dead GORGEOUS inside & out!
Isn't this BLUE DRESS Dreamy!!
Race to check out her BLOG!

2. ICE CREAM of Course
Here’s where the whole ice cream theme came in play some more. I do not generally buy store ice cream unless it’s for pie or Cobbler and I’m spoiled because we have one if the top ten ice cream joints in the country. My second favorite ice cream spot is the Dairy Maid we go to on our vacation. I indulged right and it gave Mr. Nine and I an idea. History Channel are you listening? We should travel the country and commentate on all the ice cream shops. Here’s the damper on our reality show, I’m ready for the camera, Mr. Nine, not so much. Good thought honey, we’ll just stick to our occasional scoops of goodness, lol. 



3. Week's Attire

Playing around with the AMAZON ECHO CAMERA  for these next two.



4. SUNDAY FUNDAY
I cannot even tell you how much I love this Minty Tank. It is actually from the pajamas section of Target but I threw it on for last Sunday’s Funday festivities. It is sooooo soft!! And I love the bright lemon yellow in it and it’s only 12.99! Look at the scalloped hem!

5. Misc. Fun
Speaking of Sunday Funday
Scenes from Sunday Fun Day! We had come back from vacation on Saturday but not wanting to end our family fun time, we headed to a friend’s Lake Home get together. Had a blast. Lots of boating, water volleyball, grub, cocktails, badminton, relaxing and chatting. 


I made my Blueberry Crunch Parfait to take and it was a huge hit. Recipe calls for strawberries but this is how I made it for the Bursting with Blueberries contest. 
Recipe HERE

My Favorite Purchase from #NSale Yesterday
Caslon Varsity Striped Tee
5 weeks from tonight and It’s Friday Night Light’s Baby! Our boy will be a Senior, uninjured and starting with the Team. These are their colors, it was under $25 and I’ve heard, even cuter in person. I won’t shove anymore #NSale down your throat this week so I’ll leave it here for now. LOL

Tiki Toss 
Such a cool story about the Tiki Toss game! When we were on vacation as I told you on Monday, The kids played this game at the distillery. They both made ringers and the waitress said she hadn’t seen anybody do that yet. Well, when we got home a birthday package was waiting for Mr. Nine from his little sweet sister. Guess what was inside? TIKI TOSS!! And she didn’t even know we’d been playing it. Perfect addition to the pool area!

Here are the boys playing it on vacay.

Get your TIKI on and Have a fabulous weekend darlings!
