FRIDAY FAVORITES...LET'S GO

Wow am I ever glad to see you Friday! It has been a whirlwind of a week and so glad to have nipped this ear infection in the bud. Off to a friend's house for an in-house clothing sale today and some mimosas. Chill time, here we come! 

  

 1. Time Spent Near the Water 

While we live surround by a river, pond and pool, there is just something so calming about a lake. We have some dear friends who live on a lake about 20 miles north of us in Michigan and we finally got a picture-perfect lake day last Saturday. Their property is adjacent to a golf course, so our guys got to golf while we went on a walk and chilled on the pier. 

The day ended with the perfect grilled chicken, roasted vegetables and margherita salad meal. I was so excited about the salad I didn’t even wait until she got the artichoke hearts and toasted pinenuts on it to snap a picture, I replicated the salad for you all for an upcoming Tasty Tuesday. This amazing dressing is from Meijer and you can use it as a marinade as well. And I was with my friend Jenn when she got this yummy salami at World Market. It was the perfect little snack to add to the snack plates to take our guys on hole number 11. 

2. Maren Morris's Dress

Sunday night was the ACM awards and I always love the performances and Reba McEntire hosting! I have got to say, this lilac dress from Maren Morris, blew me away! As you know, I am obsessed with this color!

3 THINGS...APRIL

My Precious Laura from The Horton Family has done it again!! She has created the best Q&A to get your juices flowing. I love that this one is geared towards Spring! Always excited to see what she comes up with! Let’s get right to it! 

1. What 3 Things are on your Spring Bucket List?

~Enjoy a fabulous Birthday Week....CHECK...it was the best thanks to many of you!

~A TRIP to beat the “Spring is not quite here despite what the calendar says” blues!....Coming UP

~Go to the local Greenhouses with mom to pick out our poises and then and then get digging in the dirt....Coming Up 

Past Greenhouse love!

2. Spring Cleaning, Spring Froward, or Spring Break. Which is your favorite and why?

~Hands down Spring Break! Even if we don’t go anywhere, I always relished the down time when the kids were in school. Spring Break vacations used to be together as a family but now college boys and HS boy are off on their own gig. So, Mr. Nine and I get outta dodge if we can. Cayman's I'm coming for ya soon!

3. What 3 Dishes will be on your Easter Menu? 

Well I’m a little sad to say we won’t get to go to Easter Dinner at mom's as we will be traveling but dinner will ALWAYS include her hash brown casserole, Pineapple Upside Down Cake (Recipe HERE) and Deviled Eggs, which she will still make for us when all the boys are home for the summer! Deviled eggs are her most requested item..never had better!! 

Easter Dress

And I had to include the dress I "would" be wearing for Easter and Love it so much I will save it for another sunny day. You all loved this one on Insta, another JCPenny's find and under $40!!! It would be perfect for a wedding too. So flattering and the coral color has my heart!
