You guys, this past week has been CrAzY busy! Definitely a good kind of crazy, but phew, I need a drink! 😉
Before I pour my drink, and since it’s not yet five o’ clock (LOL), let’s first get to my Friday Favorites.
{one}
This loveseat.
Soooo, as of this morning this loveseat will now have a home, well, a home in my garage, but a home nonetheless. Our local senior center has recently renovated their entire building and they’ve also added all new furniture. The moment I saw that this loveseat was up for grabs, I immediately typed, “SOLD!” And for fifty bucks – how could I not?!
Oh and also, my awesome neighbor, Amy, is the Executive Director of the facility, so she gave me the low-down on this piece. It’s recently been reupholstered so WOOHOO for that! I’m thiiiiinking I may take a shot at sewing a slipcover for this loveseat. I think it’d be reaaaaally cool to place it at our dining room table, but I’m not sure how that’d work with having a six and a four year old? LOL! Let’s see how long it’ll take me until I even bust out my sewing machine. Hopefully before 2019.
This is what I do. I make plans for things I don’t have time for. Haha!
I bought these for Eliza’s preschool classmates. Eliza and I handed them out on their last day of school and they were a HUGE hit.
Quick story – Every year when we go on our little Lake Michigan getaway, the kids collect rocks. Most of the time the rocks end up in mine and Jon’s pockets. Well, last year I thought I had a million-dollar-idea of creating mesh beach bags for kids to use at the beach. Enter Amazon. I finally searched for mesh beach bags and wouldn’t you know it – they were already invented. Rats! LOL! Some lucky son of a gun had already thought of this brilliant idea and I’m guessing these have been around for years. Bravo, mesh beach bag inventor guy, bravo……………

Surprise!
I’ve had Invisalign since December and I just finished this past Tuesday! While at my appointment on Tuesday they took off my buttons and gave me permanent retainers!
Here I am wearing my Invisalign right before heading in for my appointment…
…and here I am after with some of the awesome staff who helped make it all happen.
This Ortho office celebrates like this with every patient once treatment is complete. My Orthodontist is the one in the Elvis wig! So cool, right?!
Oh my gosh, I was sooooo excited – not sure if you could tell or not. 😉 😉 😉

Weight Gain.
Ugh. I’ve been running and exercising and watching what I eat, but I just can’t seem to lose weight. Actually, I’ve managed to gain about seven pounds…and let me tell you, it’s NOT muscle. I find myself either tucking my stomach into my pants or just completely unbuttoning and unzipping my pants altogether. Thank goodness for tunics. Haha!
This meme, this meme…yup.
Oh, and this one, too…
Anyone follow mommysinsidevoice over on IG? My girl, Sara, told me about her and let me tell you, the mommysinsidevoice IG feed always has me cracking up. I took this screenshot a while ago after she’d posted it and it still has me laughing…like, a literal LOL every time I see it!
Okay, that’s it for me! T-minus 3 hours and 3 minutes until I won’t feel guilty drinking…because weekend.
It’s Friday, Friday – Gotta get down on Friday! Name that song! 😉 Here we are – Happy Good Friday, Friends. I hope your weekend is filled with love, giggles and lots of happy moments. How about a little Friday Favorites before the weekend officially begins? ONE Frownies When I posted about these Frownies the…
Hey, Hey, Hey! Happy Monday! This kids are off of school today, which is soooo nice. However, we still have piano and Jane had her first virtual OIT updose appointment this morning. Our week last week was full of lots of Valentine happiness and good days… I’ve been working on making a gallery wall for…
Happy Last Friday of April, Friends! I’m so excited for the weekend! We don’t have any plans tonight – thank goodness! Henry has two soccer games tomorrow (9:00 and noon) and Eliza has dance pictures (10:00). I’m very much looking forward to a quiet Saturday afternoon and evening, especially considering that once Monday rolls around we’ll be…
Happy Friday to one and all!!! I don’t know about all of you, but we’re pretty tired over here. The kids are tired, this Mama’s tired, Jon’s tired. We’re sooooo ready for the weekend! Speaking of the weekend, we’re heading to my mom’s house tonight to spend the night and keep her company and then…
It’s Friday! We’re hosting a group of friends tonight for a Halloween party so this post is going to be random and quick. I have a million and one things to do, but I still had to start my day off with a Friday Favorites blog post! ONE Jane had a field trip to the…
Welp, the kids have been in school for well over a month now and here I am, just now blogging about it! Better late than never, I suppose. I have about a gazillion back-to-school pictures, but I’ll play nice and only post fourteen of them. 😉 You guys, the first day of school was no…
