What a week! I have been taking a much needed social media break, so I have lost to share. Also, I kept sweet Em instead of working this week so that gives more to share than on a full work week.

We spent part of last weekend in ATL. We grabbed some yummy food. That green sauce from Cylantros was heavenly. As well as the Frozen Cow ice cream.

Em and I did all kinds of fun activities to close out summer. We started with a not so fun cavity dental appointment. But shortly after began some grand adventures. We had Kome for lunch. Her lunch request was yum yum sauce.

We also made slime. Look I thought I was going to have to call my mommy friends to see what we were doing wrong just finally it turned out ok. If you come to my house do not eat the slime that is in the pantry. She only cane play with it on the tiles floor in the kitchen away from the furniture. So I figured the pantry was the best place to store it.

We took one good nap but then skipped naps in favor of getting back on a good school routine. Oh naps how I miss you. We also got our nails done for first day of school, ordered pizza, and watched some TV. Mainly on Wednesday I just let her have too much screen time and let her brain go mushy because school time is upon us.

We made chocolate chip cookies and played Uno and Ticket to Ride. Em caught on surprisingly well with some help.  Did some Pilates. Wednesday also called for school prep. Packed lunches, school supplies and such.

I was lucky enough to be able to take her to school Thursday. Oh the previous days. After I got some major good cleaning done. I had cleaned the closet out in one of the guest rooms earlier last year but it had already accumulated crap so I did it again. Em’s room needs major work but she isn’t ready to get rid of some of the toys she is really too big for. She still plays with them though.

I have been researching for our upcoming trip. I am loving the Packmith blog. So many great packing tips.

I ordered some Birkenstocks and basically all I can say is what goes around comes around…again.

Beautycounter is having a sale which never happens, SOOO stock up today. You can shop my link here. Message me with any questions.

Happy Friday! I am extra excited about this Friday because we are actually off work and it is my birthday weekend.

Em and I spent the last week-ish at the beach. Then it was right back to work for me.

Ryan and I worked July 4th but celebrated with Tare and Teddy after work. We ate and watched thunder on the mountain. Thanks for making us dinner!

You all know how I feel about charcuterie and cheese boards. What’s Gaby Cooking has a few beautiful ones including this summer board.

My birthday has me thinking all things cute party. I love this mermaid tail party hat.

Mini flamingo pinata. How cute!

It’s no secret I love Hint waters. I hear the smash ups might be coming back.

Phew what a week! And I can’t even claim it is almost over since I work the weekend.

Basically no life updates just been adding money to the bank account. Well I’ve actually ordered a few swim suits for the upcoming beach time.

My flowers are growing and the fireflies are out in full force. I love them.

I did acquire some mermaid hair this week. I love it!

I am on Whole30 Day 19 today! I am researching some recipes to try to make this weekend.

I am going to try this Power Bowl. I have never roasted kale. Side note unsure if I have ever eaten kale. I just do not know what to do with it besides add it to a smoothie.

These chicken veggie poppers caught my eye because they looked like sausage balls. Ha! but they seem like they might freeze and reheat well.

These potato toast are also at the top off my weekend prep list.

This week has been dragging on. Maybe its working more or looking forward to the long weekend. I have been living on BTLs and the first harvest of summer fruits and tomatoes. So yummy!

I spent last Friday with Em at her end of school celebrations. I can not believe she is a third grader! She received an award for most improved reader and earned a water balloon to throw at the math teacher.

We also celebrated Teddy’s birthday with a dinner at Fancy’s. We also had birthday cake and breakup cookies for the two birthday loves.

Insert work work. We did have a tea party at work to celebrate Harry and Meghan

We celebrated Ryan’s birthday just the way he wanted to. Mexican for lunch. Researched our upcoming 5th anniversary trip. Watched The Last Jedi. Had hot sandwiches and brownies for dinner.

Insert more work work work.

I finished the latest season of Jane the Virgin this week. OMGeeee. So good. I know its corny and DRAMA but it is a fun escape.

Phew we made it to the weekend!!!! What are your long weekend plans? I plan to jump off social media for a heart recharge. Any good books I should read?

I am starting Whole30 on Monday. I am so excited and nervous. This will be my second round. I have had a few failed attempted between now and my first, but I am fulling committing to this one! What are your favorite Whole30 tips and tricks?

This week has flown and crawled by all at the same time. Here I am again saying I can not believe it is almost May! Continue reading “Fabulous Friday, IV” →
