Friday Favorites...Memorial Day Weekend

my morning view

I'm a wee bit jealous of everyone that is officially done with school for the year. Unfortunately, my kiddos still have 2 1/2 days left of taking finals but having a four day weekend helps heal the burn. Most of our weekend will be spent at the baseball fields and at a track meet but I'm hoping for a little sunshine and lounge time by the pool with a #summer16 cocktail in hand. BTW...have you shopped Nordstroms half yearly sale yet? Hoping to snag a couple of deals...shhh. Hope you have a great weekend!

Friday Favorites with a fun baseball fact...

new track practice location for the summer

This time of year is always busy but for some reason this week has taken on a whole new level for us. The rain we had yesterday did clear our schedule up for some time to breath and I was doing a happy dance when I received the cancellations for two of my daughter's after school practices! #truth Hope you enjoy my favorites from the week although they are nothing too exciting since it's been all business and no play around here. I'm desperately needing a little retail therapy here... Although did you know that 108.2 billion people have been born on Earth as of 2015? Of those, 18415 have played Major League Baseball. 1 in 5,875,645 is your chance of playing in the big leagues in case you were wondering. Cheers y'all!

Friday Favorites...Friday the 13th!

 stepping out of my box with this summer polish

Another week bites the dust! It was a busy week filled with all sorts of happenings, nothing crazy fun, just spent the days checking things off my "to do" list before school is out for the summer. 'Cause I got a feeling that once school is out...it's gonna be a little difficult to get anything constructive done on the reg if you catch my drift! So here is to sleeping in until at least 7 and not having to pack lunches in t-minus 3 weeks (14 school days) woo-hoo!!!

cinco de mayo taco dinner at home

Wow we sure did kick this month off with a bang! It has been a fun filled week with gorgeous patio weather, friends in town for a visit and a little Cinco De Mayo celebration to take us into the weekend.  BTW...Looking at my dinner pic above I should have sliced my avocado a little thinner but it sure was pretty damn good. From one mom to another...go out there and celebrate your face off!
