Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends!  It's the first Friday in APRIL which is blowing my mind!  Summer break is around the corner and we are getting antsy over here!

I'm excited to share my FAVORITES with y'all and if you have FAVORITES to share you should join me, Erika and Narci by grabbing our graphic and linking up with us below.




Kids at our school get to bring in a birthday snack/treat to share with their class and when I asked Luke what he wanted to bring he immediately and emphatically  requested my "bomb.com chocolate chip cookies... two for everyone in 3rd grade".  I'm not going to lie - I tried to convince him to take store bought cupcakes - but how can you say no when your kid tells you your cookies are better than anything at the store :)  #wellplayedluke


I doubled the recipe, scooped it by teaspoons instead of tablespoons and baked them for 8 minutes.  It made over 100 cookies and he was super happy about passing them out.


My FAVORITE spot to be???  This one right here.  After dinner cul-de-sac time is my FAVORITE time.

My FAVORITE ten-year-old!!!


On Monday, Dave took the kids to see Sherlock Gnomes and they saw it in the "kids theater" which is their new FAVORITE way to watch a movie.  Dave reported that the seats weren't as comfortable as the normal recliners though so it's not going to be mama's FAVORITE :) 





Strawberries have been SO GOOD lately - my FAVORITE afternoon snack!


Y'all know that Anthropologie and Nordstrom are two of my FAVORITES - so Anthropologie Home items at Nordstrom (and all 20% off right now!) is AWESOME!!!   This three-pack of notebooks is on sale for $12.80 and I think that one of the notebooks with a couple of pens or a gift card would be such a sweet little end-of-the-year teacher gift.




This cutie got to enjoy a special popsicle after school with one of her FAVORITE people :)  


One of my new FAVORITE brands was running a sale last week and I grabbed  this scarf dress.  These are so fun and versatile for summer and I love that I can throw a jacket on over it and be good to go for work.



We have a fun weekend planned with lots of our FAVORITES including our annual "Family Fiesta".  Which reminds me that I need to log off of my computer and get my grocery list together!
HAPPY FRIDAY, friends!!!

  3. I love those cookies! My little boy's school won't let us bring homebaked goods-it all has to be "store bought.". There's just something special about homemade for class parties:). Brings back great childhood memories!

  11. Such a sweet mama to make him all those cookies. I bet they made him quite popular. As much work as it always was I loved making class treats like that. What a fun kids theater! Ours don't have anything like that but my kids are just as happy if we buy seats in the "good theater" and they can recline.

  13. Hi! Love your blog! :) I just noticed today that your 10 year old son is in 3rd grade. I am wondering how you guys decided to hold him before sending off to school? I have a son with a summer birthday and we debated about sending him off to Kinder. Can you share a bit about why you might have decided to hold off on school and the potential benefits of being an older kiddo in your grade? Thanks!
