4 Days and Loving Every Minute!

Alas the work week is here! I had an amazing four day weekend and I hope you did as well! I have a full recap coming tomorrow of our Fourth Of July holiday celebration! Like every other year it was awesome and Madison had an amazing time!

Onto the other weekend shenanigans!

We helped our besties move into their new house and I made them a housewarming basket. This is the first one I have ever made and I think it turned out great! It included sponges, two coffee mugs, two travel cups, two dish cloths, a candle, a plug in air freshener, Windex, a spray can of air freshener, two coasters, a card and of course the basket itself.

Tim had to work over the weekend helping some other friends so we decided to have a girls night movie date to see Despicable Me 2! He actually found an old gift card he had so we were able to splurge and see it! I like to wait until the movie comes out in the dollar theatre so being able to go to the full price show was awesome!

I had time to swing by my parents house and go to lunch with them at Panera Bread! I feel like I have been neglecting everyone lately so it was nice to get that time. Plus, who doesn't love broccoli cheese soup, bread, sweet tea and a Greek salad! Plus Madison loves their mac and cheese! Yummo!

 

 

I have been obsessed with watching Emily Eddington's beauty broadcast channel and so I was inspired to pick up some Elf products! I spent a lot of my time watching tutorials and trying out some new techniques! You can look for my Elf haul recap Thursday!

Even though he isn't in this picture, Madison, Tim and I went on a little walk around the canal. This has to be one of my most favorite things to do. I was a little stressed and grouchy so it felt good to clear the mind and get out of the house for a bit without spending money!

 

I hope you enjoyed some time off and a great Fourth Of July!

Check back tomorrow for year #4 as I share all of our July 4 details :)

Happy Monday!

 

High Five It's Friday!

TGIF!
I am proudly shouting to the world that I am off of work today!
Epic moment, right? I know!
I am among the few who get to jump up and down and stay in my pjs all day.
Okay who am I kidding I won't be doing that.
I'll be busy moving the bestie into her house, paying bills and hopefully grocery shopping!

Well let's get down to business shall we?

I am linking up with Lauren for High Five For Friday!

1. Watching the Indianapolis Freedom blast with an up close and spectacular view with our closest friends and family was amazing. Nothing is better than spending fun times with loved ones!

2. I scored a deal on a necklace and then brought it home only to realize it came with earrings!!

3. Our 2013 family photo op and color coordinating outfits were again successful this year. I touched on this yesterday on the blog and I have a Fourth Of July recap coming up Tuesday to show just how we celebrated 2013!!

4. What a beautiful view! The sunset was amazing and the sky was breathtaking! I love mother nature!

5. Panera! Need I say more? Warm broccoli soup, bread and a greek salad satisfied my cravings!


I'm off to enjoy two more days off of work!!
Until Monday follow me along on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook :)

Have a great weekend and an even more awesome day!

 

(Insert I'm off work, it's Friday and today is going to be an incredible day dance!!)

Today marks one of my favorite days of the year!
Besides being a free American and all of the seriousness behind the holiday we have tons of fun!!
Before we had Madison Fourth of July was fun don't get me wrong but entertaining your own child, creating traditions and seeing their face light up when the fireworks ignite is priceless!
Since 2009 we have been sharing these moments and cannot wait for the years to come!

 

 

 

 

 



Happy Fourth to all of you! Check back tomorrow for the 2013 wrap up! Stay safe!
