Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!!

I am soooo excited for our weekend.

We have a lot of great things planned and I can't wait to share them with you on Monday.

This week I thought I would share with you my favorite summer meal!!!

Salad!!!

I love to eat salad in the summer. I love that I can go to the Farmer's Market and get everything local.

Everything with the exception of the avocado is local!!!

I love to top my salad with a little protein and on this day we had grilled tuna.

My new favorite drink San Pellegrino.

This is my favorite salad dressing.

I buy a 24 oz of this bottle from BJ's for $2.99.

If you buy this dressing in the grocery store you pay at least $3.79 for a 12 oz bottle.

Just a little tip if you like this dressing but don't want to spend that much on dressing!!

I hope you have a great weekend!!!

Happy Friday!!

I hope you are having a good week and keeping COOL!!!!

My favorite thing today is a place that I always forget how much I love it until I am there.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to go to this store because I needed to buy a wedding gift.

Every time I walk into this store I think oh how I could just move right in.

Somebody else with me had the same idea because he slipped off his shoes and made himself comfortable on the sofa and then began fluffing the pillows. And no I don't mean Tommy. That's right Speed Racer had the same idea as me...to move right in.

Are you wondering which store Speed Racer and I want to move in to?

Pottery Barn.

This is actually the sofa set up that Speed Racer was drawn to.

I love that coffee table.

Such a great craft room. Still looking for inspiration for my laundry/craft room.

Just love this table but I would like it a little darker.

I would love to wake up and look at this room every morning.

I love this chair.

This outdoor area would have me outside all the time!!

If Tommy and I could keep that much wine in our house at any given time I would totally have that in my house.

 Of course if I had all the money in the world I would be able to shop there so I will just have to look to Pottery Barn for inspiration!!!

Have a great weekend!!

Favorite Things and Soccer

Happy Friday!!

Friday is my favorite day of the week.

Since its my favorite day I thought that I would start sharing some of my favorite things with you.

Now I am not Oprah, so I won't be having any give-a-ways. Sorry!!!

When I become Oprah or famous like her I will then have those give-a-ways that I will share with you!!

Yesterday I went to one of my favorite food stores.

I drive over forty miles to go to this store!! I love going there!!

There are certain items that I always have two or three of in my cart to take home.

They are our family's favorite things.

This is the best Chicken Dish EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Right now this bag is big enough for the four of us, but when the kids get a little older I think each of them will want their own bag of this chicken. YUMMMMMY!!!!!!!

This is the BEST mac and cheese!!! It is made with Four Cheeses!!!

Heaven!!!

Fresh Salsa!! We eat this with tortilla chips, egge white omelets, and prett much anything!!

Great snack, it's sweet and salty!!! You really need to make sure you need to eat the bag within a few days of opening because it gets soft fast.

I have yet to find anything that I don't like there. If one of the employees tells you it's very good you better go run and get two more. They know their stuff!!

Just thought of one more item that I buy in October and November.

I use to make pumpkin bread from scratch but once I found this pumpkin bread I decided I didn't need the extra work of making the bread from scratch!!

Do you shop Trader Joe's? What is your favorite thing to buy!!!

The kids are in full swing with soccer.

It's really funny to watch 4-5 year olds play soccer.

Have you heard of the Bad News Bears?

Meet the Bad News Bears of Soccer.

I think all of the boy except one are 4. So imagine 5 four year olds. OYE!!!!

Ballerina loves playing goal. However gets really made when she is scored on. She can also hold her own on the field. The kids tend to push each other and she pushes right back. She got benched for doing that the other night!!

When Speed Racer focuses he is really good!! He's a very fast runner. He is the opposite of his sister. If he gets to close to someone he backs off right away. I think he is afraid of hurting someone.

I crack up when people say they worry that Ballerina would never be able to hold her own. They say that she is too nice. I laugh so hard in the inside and think to myself she is little me. I can't wait till she gets older and we go out for Black Friday shopping!! People will be going down!!! LOL!!!!!

Warming up and waiting for the coach!!!

I have a feeling that being a soccer mom is going to be a very hard job for me!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!
