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?

HAPPY WEEKEND & BIG HUGS TO YOU ALL!!!

FRIDAY FAVORITES HASTA LA VISTA JANUARY

Happy Friday! Can you taste February? So close! We went from amazing fluffy snow on the ground that I was enjoying bundling up and walking in for a great workout to an ice storm, and so much rain it turned it all into a muddy mess. That is the part of January that I really dislike, when it gets icky. I love Winter but not the messy moody part, lol. We did get to see the twins Monday night but sorry I didn’t get a lot of photos. But I do have some sweet Friday Favorites.

1. Flowers

Speaking of bidding January goodbye and seeking Spring: Flowers!! It’s this time of year that I start bringing in fresh flowers to sit on the counter. Often, I opt for a big bouquet, but I just thought this little one was so sweet

and spring like.

2. Makeup Case

I have tons of makeup bags, but I was due for a really good one if you know what I mean. I feel like I’ve upgraded because this one is an actual zippered case, and it is a fraction of the designer one floating around. There are two sides. I have the smaller one and it’s perfect. It comes in four colors and it’s so nice and sturdy, I love that you can see through both sides and there’s really a little bit of room on the top that you could put things like wipes, or Kleenex, or make up remover, pads, etc.

Get one HERE

3. Outfits Lately

The minute I saw the Jeans in the first two photos in the Loft email, I knew I had to have them. So cute and well-made and perfect for Spring!

4. Sweet Fury Cuteness

BIG TEDDY BEAR

How cute is this Teddy Bear! I went crazy in Walmart when I saw all the plush stuffed animals, how big they were, and how reasonable they were for the size and quality! This particular bear is a beautiful apricot color and comes in several other colors. He is 36 inches tall and only $35. He looks like he would be about $200. He’s ready to have tea with the twins when they get big enough, lol!

STELLA MAE

This girl, I tell you what! She is just the sweetest, except when it comes to delivery drivers, she’s a mini Cujo behind the glass! This picture was so cute because she was guarding her beloved bully stick. She chooses on it for comfort and was waiting on her daddy to come home.

This picture is one of my favorites. I was down in

the floor exercising and she was helping mommy.

5. Misc.Fun

POST OF THE WEEK

Monday: Blank Page

The sweetness from Monday’s post was just so precious to my heart! I know you all are amazing people anyway, and even if we are just verbalizing to get our feelings out, the fact that so many of you understood and saw where I was coming from makes me know we are more alike in this world then different.

MEMES

Happy Weekend my Beautiful Friends!!

Twins

Planning the Girls Shower celebration and having so much fun with it. I should've been an even planner, lol! 3D ultrasound starting to show their beautiful faces! This is Baby B as she was sitting on A lol. And yes, they’ve chosen names.

Mom put together 40 of these so far.

Flowers Galore

You know How much I love flowers of all kinds, huge favorite year round. It’s safe to sage there will be oodles of flowers at the Twin’s shower.

I recently found the prettiest Dried Flower Arrangements. I know my annual flowers will be gone in a couple months. An arrangement or centerpiece of dried flowers really brightens up the home or special event. So many great options. These would be great for the Baby Shower too!

Meadow Magic Arrangement

My flowers: Popping like crazy and well taken care of by mama while we were gone. The bottom photo is in front of the front porch area; such a nice mix.
