Happy, happy Friday everyone! It is feeling more back to normal around here! I wonder why when we get sick it tends to take a week to pull things back! Still a few things to get going but mostly… great! I cleaned house yesterday, that felt really good!
I am still working out kinks with the pictures, so I appreciate you being patient! I got a few things figured out! YAY~ So I can do my fabulous five this week!
I am doing a giveaway next week! My gorgeous friend Jen owns a chocolate shop and she is giving away HOT CHOCOLATE POPS!
They are so delicious and so cute! You will love them, we are giving away a package of three! So check out her shop Bella Rose Chocolates over the weekend! Come back on Monday and enter the giveaway! This is my first give away and I am sooo SUPER EXCITED!
Okay time for the fabulous five this week!
First off! Leftover Valentines day candy! Need I say more? I stocked up on these stinkers the day after and have eaten way too many since! I love it!
The little silverware holder in the dishwasher, yes seriously! I get so happy seeing them all lined up and clean! It holds much more than I thought and I love how they hang there. I always think of a roller coaster ride when I see them doing that …………. strange I know! I think cabin fever is getting to me!
My front door! I love that it says hello! I love that you are greeted before you even knock! It just makes me super happy!
Sweet Lucy and Charli, so willing to help! Love doing dishes and it reminds me of when I was little doing dishes with my sister Maria. I called her BWEBA, after every dish, I would say “here Bweba” and she would say “Thanks Wawa” I still remember it and I love that my two little ones are making memories like that.
VANILLA!! Not only is this real vanilla, but it is a million times better than just vanilla you buy in a store… This vanilla was a gift from my friend Becky and her mom Kim. Becky works with Mike at the kids school and her mom Kim knows me from blogging. Kim went to Mexico and came home with this! FOR ME! WOW! Mike came home one day and told me I had a gift, I was so excited and so grateful just to be thought of! When I opened it, WOW! I was even more excited and more grateful! How sweet to be thought of! It really made my day and the rest of my week. Every time I use this, I will think of them and be grateful for their kindness and the love they showed me. Little gifts are so special to me, they just make me smile. SO huge THANK YOU to them! I love it!
There it is! Been too long!! I am grateful to have kinda figured out some pictures! Excited to keep learning! Have a super weekend and do not forget about the giveaway!
SMILE BOOK!
I am so grateful for my brother, Tony. I called him super early this morning to help a friend who was stranded at the gas station. He does not know her, but went to help her. I am so grateful for his sweet spirit and loving heart. It made me tear up. He is such a good person, I am grateful to know him and so grateful to be his sister.
Missionaries came for dinner last night, I love the spirit they bring into the home!
Chicken Piccata, peasant bread and Strawberry Shortcake for dinner…… I wanted to lick my plate!
We leave for spring break in a week! YES!
Emma, she is just fun and I love her!
I LOVE your front door. It makes me smile.
Stacy,
THANK YOU!! I just love it too!
Huge hugs,
Lara
I am glad you loved the vanilla! As soon as I saw the photo from awhile back of Mike and Heston baking with imitation vanilla, I just knew I had to have my mom bring some from Cancun!! Enjoy!
Becky!
I LOVED IT!! Thanks so much again!! A big hug to both of you!!!
Love,
Lara
