Five on Friday
I’m on day 12 without coffee so it’s a miracle I’m still sane! I feel like I am committed enough at this point to make the full 21 days so stay tuned. Thankfully it’s Friday and we have zero, count um, zero plans this weekend! I could not be happier to know my to do list is a blank slate and I get to choose how much is going to be enough! Bringing you lots of random things I’m loving right now!
Exciting News
I’ve had a little secret the last few weeks and secrets are not my strong suit. Super excited to be able to share with you guys after it was finally announced yesterday that Riley received an invite to big league spring training! No this does not mean he will be on a big league roster but it does mean he is one step closer to living his dream and that makes a momma super happy!
Shout Outs
First up a big thank you to Johannah for having me over for a little Q&A on her blog this week! Johannah has a precious little family and we are lucky to both be surviving the pre-teen years!
And a big thanks to Leanne at Classy Yet Trendy for featuring this look on her Trendy Wednesday Linkup. It seriously is the best surprise when you open up a blog to read and see your very own picture!
Currently Hearting
How cute is this Love t-shirt?
But I’m also kind of crazy about this one too! I feel like this graphic tee is a definite yes year round.
I happened across this jacket in the new arrivals and holy heart eyes! Is it not just so precious? Well the price is too but I may have to keep my eye out for a sale because I just think it’s so adorable.
Fave Purchase
I think I may have FINALLY found a peplum that will work for me! I absolutely love the peplum look but it doesn’t really love my shape. Still…I cannot seem to keep from buying every one I fall in love with and then sadly end up returning. This one is the softest material and has a very slight hi/lo hem and I actually didn’t feel like it added girth to my already thick frame. I am totally wearing this today all layered with a favorite jacket. Bonus it comes in several colors both stripes and solid and is on sale for $21!
Surviving
Barely…just barely surviving my wellness challenge. We are limited to a list of foods and only those foods for the first 21 days of the “cleanse” piece. Well, I have been so excited since learning to make these plantain chips and was so proud of myself because, y’all, chips and salsa and guac are my weaknesses and this was really helping with some cravings. Now I’m in the midst of arguing they are “legal” because darn it….plantains and avocado oil are on the list and that’s all this is!!
But this chicken zoodle soup was the BIG winner this week. It was so amazing and I ate it every single day for lunch. It is so filling and delicious and I was surprised the zoodles didn’t get mushy in the leftovers. I used this recipe but actually used a rotisserie chicken and it was seriously yum!
And I just thought this was too funny not to share! Happy Friday!
Hope you all have a sweet weekend!
