FRIDAY FAVORITES SWEET MAY

Happy middle of May babes! Slow down already, “Summer” is just getting started, ha ha but with our weather who knows? We’re going from 80s yesterday and today here in Northern Indiana to a high of 59° Sunday. It’s been kind of a slow yet crazy week and I’m happy to report my three-month-old tooth saga is over. I got the permanent crown put on Wednesday, a fabulous cleaning and I’m good to go. BUT yesterday had a major pool issue so hoping it gets figured out and we can get back in. I love pools but like a boat, they are money pits.

 

Mother’s Day

We started with an amazing brunch at a place we had never been before called The early Bird Eatery and the food was incredible.


While 2 live out-of-state boys were missing, the dad of the twins, surprised us with a visit on Sunday. And best of all it was a perfect sunshiny day, and we were able to get in the pool! (before it went cloudy with nitrates this week) The girls had a ball!

 



Watering Can

Their mama created the most precious gift for me and great grandma Giga. (we are holding them in the title pic). She painted super cool watering cans with designs and the girls’ painted handprints. The thumbprint was turned into a ladybug and she put our names on top along with some gardening gloves. Such a thoughtful gift!

Hummingbird Planter

My mom always gets me something too, and she found the sweetest concrete hummingbird pot and put my favorite shade of Verbena in there, raspberry.

Outfits

What I wore Mother’s Day, a sweater I got to take to Cape Cod this summer and the last outfit: not going to lie. I wore it 2 days in a row. lol. Do you ever do that?

Nature Pics: Gerbera Daisies

Had to get you some pictures of two of my Gerbera daisies! I don’t usually have these annuals outside, but I couldn’t resist these two colors this year and I hope they do well.



Cookies for the Dentist’s Office

I mentioned that my dental ordeal is over, but as always, I took the office some cookies, I found the cutest patriotic trays at Hobby lobby and filled one with monster cookies using red, white and blue M&Ms. Remember when I took my old beloved Dentist the I wish I would not have left any at home though I dipped into the stash and could you not I ate 5 after my appointment.

Stella and Her Insta Toy

And last, but not least, I may not be on Instagram right now, but Stella is, ha ha, at least she thinks she is with one of her favorite toys from Grandma! This girl loves to take bigger toys to bat around balls with. It's so cute!

What was your favorite thing during your week?
