1. Fridays are jean days, pay days, dinner out with friends.

2. Babies and puppies make me terribly happy.

3. Something that inspires me is seeing the difference that I can make in someone's life (be that a person or animal) .

4. If I had the day off today I would stay in bed until nine, get up and take a walk with Joe and Hank around the neighborhood, make breakfast and eat it on the patio, ride bikes on the greenline and have a picnic .

5. If I had to put a label on my home decor style, I would say my style is "Pottery Barn/Flea Market" .

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

{one}

I am LOVING these new chargers that I got at Pottery Barn Outlet. You know I have quite the obsession with starfish, so I couldn't pass these up....especially since I have a wonderful coupon to use. I got 6 of the chargers for a total of $25! I can't to make a ocean inspired table scape, invite people to dinner, and make some delicious seafood.

{two}

I am loving this basket and vintage milk bottles that I found in my moms stash the other day. They are mine now...thank you very much!

{three}

I am loving the fact that I am going to see Sister Kristy tomorrow!! I am leaving Thursday after school and staying until late Saturday afternoon. We have all of our days planned from morning until night.

We like to go, go, go!!

On the agenda: Trader Joe's, the HUGE Forever 21 store, antiquing in Franklin, Home Goods and......

We are going to the FLEA MARKET!!! We haven't been together in almost 2 years!! Read about our last trip here and the treasures that I came home with here. I have some things that I would be happy to find...but I am mostly looking for anything that catches my eye.

{four}

I am sooooo loving the fact that we finally decided where we are going for our 5th anniversary trip and booked it. MEXICO!! (the safe part). No it's not Costa Rica, but I think we are going to have a fabulous time! The plane tickets to Costa Rica are still too expensive right now, so we are going to save that trip for another time. We will be staying at Excellence Playa Mujeres. I first heard of this wonderful resort from my sweet friend, Caroline from Simply Smithwick. She and her hubby swear by this resort.

Every room has a balcony with a hot tub and napping bed!

Oooooo I canot wait to get my toes in the sand!

{five}

I am loving this book that I got from Paper Back Swap. No I am not pregnant, but one must be prepared :)

{six}

I am loving that this Sunday is Easter. I am so thankful for the gift of life (and for the fact that I can eat sweets again!).

{seven}

I am loving this new dress that I got from Loft on Sunday. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is super cute and the best thing is....I can wear it to school!

Sunday:

We ate at Los Compadres. It's down the street and is our go-to Mexican place. It doesn't hurt that it is super yummy too! Joe's dad is in town and said "he could go for tacos". I think he meant Taco Bell....but I am not eating Taco Bell anymore....so real Mexican food it was!

We are going to dinner with Joe's dad. He leaves to go back to Minnesota on Wednesday morning.

Easter Sunday!! We are having a late lunch with family...so we will be eating leftovers from that if I am still hungry. I am making a salad and dessert.

Getting to Know You

1. what's something you've eaten and liked, but didn't think you would?

pepperoncini peppers...who would have thought I would eat them out of the jar?!

2. plastic surgery..yay or nay?
I always say that you should love the body that God gave you. That being said.....who knows how I will feel after babies. I may need a little help.

3. 2 things you love about spring are.....?
all the flowers and the Farmers market!

4. when's the last time you went on a picnic?

last year for my birthday!

5. what's your favorite app?
I don't do apps.....I seriously have an old phone and have resisted the iphone.

6. who does the grocery shopping in your house?
I do! I know what we need, how to use the coupons, etc. Joe usually messes it up when he tries so it's just easier for me to do it.

7. would you rather take a spin class or zumba?
I like both....probably spin because it's more of a workout for me.

8. how often do you go out to dinner?
Usually once a week we go out and sit down and once a week (sometime not) we pick something up like Pei Wei. I have been trying to cook every night.

Live at at Garden Lineup!

I am so excited to Steve Miller Band and Huey Lewis!!
