It’s Friday! This post is basically a recap of my Easter weekend. Enjoy!
1. Flowers from my mom’s garden, Easter buckets at each table setting, red wine, and my sweet family.
2. My dad is still a kid at heart.
3. Longest tongue award goes to Leia.
4. My SIL got a cat on Sunday and named her Lily. Get it? Easter Lily? :)
5. I have a hair cut this evening. Should I chop it off? Grow it out? Dye it purple? Get Zooey bangs?
Happy weekend, y’all!

It’s Friday! High fives all around!
I don’t have five pictures for you this week because I’ve already put most of them up here and that would be boring to show you the same ones. So I’ll just share five thoughts:
1. I finally got a cold. I think mother nature heard me bragging that I hadn’t been sick in years and thought it was due time. This morning as J and I were getting ready he said, “Can I tell you one of my least favorite things that you do?” Sure, let’s hear it. “You leave used tissues all over the place. It’s disgusting.” Oh, yeah. I do do that. Oops.
2. I’m still getting used to Bloglovin. It’s not the same! But I like that you are giving traffic to the blogs you subscribe to. It’s nice to see the layouts instead of just the posts. (Click here to follow me on Bloglovin.)
3. It’s March Madness time! Basketball games galore! My bracket is already out of whack, but that’s okay. I love a good upset. Except, of course, when it’s your #2 team that loses to a #15 in the first round. Duke, don’t disappoint me again this year!
4. For all you Leia fans, that girl got in serious trouble this past week. We came home Thursday to find that she had chewed the window sill of our guest room window. Bad girl! I feel kind of silly for trusting that a one year-old pup could handle the freedom of being out for 8 hours of the day, but oh well. Lesson learned. She’s back in her crate indefinitely during the day, and I’m trying not to think about how much that damage will cost us. I’ll let Future Ginna worry about that.
5. This weekend we are going to a going away party for some friends that are moving to Germany. It’s so hard to say goodbye to good friends, but at least we have a free place to stay with if/when we go to Europe!
What are y’all up to this weekend? Hope it’s a great one!
It’s Friday! Woot! I don’t share five things every week, but moving forward I decided to throw in a high-five gif, at least until I run out of them. :) (Shout out to Kim at Olivia Jane Accessories for more Friday gifs. It’s such a happy day of the week!)
1. I think J gave me magic flowers for Valentine’s Day. Some of them died, but these beauties are still as vibrant as the first day. Anyone know what kind of flower they are? Mom, if you’re reading this, you probably know. :)
2. Who’s excited for daylight savings on Sunday?! Sure we lose an hour, but the light we gain in the evenings is so worth it!
3. Last weekend I painted a few canvases for a home project I’m working on (more on that next week), and it was SO.MUCH.FUN. I’m not at all good, but maybe with a little practice? I loved it.
4. After today I am not going to wear blacks, grays or browns anymore… at least not without a pop of color. I’m ready for bright! vibrant! spring! colors back in my life. Anyone else?
5. After our hike on Sunday, Leia was exhausted. I hadn’t seen her that tired since Charleston and she was reunited with her boyfriends. As soon as we got back she fell asleep on the couch and looked so darn comfortable neither J nor I had the heart to move her. We ended up watching TV in our green chairs and swiveling the TV around. How did she get to be the master in this place? Oh, who am I kidding. She’s ruled this place since she jumped on our white bedspread the minute we brought her home.
Have a wonderful weekend!
1. Margaritas with my running buddies Saturday night.
2. A morning at the beach in Charleston.
3. Leia celebrating my father in-law’s birthday.
4. Getting lots of rest this week.
5. On the hunt for fodmap-friendly recipes. (Who has any winning recipes from Joy of Cooking? The book can be so daunting!)
Linking up with Lauren today. Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend. :)
1. I work super close to a Target so I frequent there a lot on my lunch breaks. Their new stuff just hit the shelves and I’m in love with their spring decor! If my apartment wasn’t maxed out, I’d get myself one of those ottomans.
2. Anyone else have the post-holiday blues? I miss our Charlie Brown Christmas tree and twinkle lights and jingle music and COOKIES! I really miss cookies. But! Slowly, day by day it’s staying lighter a little longer, so that makes up for it a little bit.
3. Leia graduated puppy training!
4. Next week I’m finally giving a little apartment tour. Get excited!
5. Who’s heard of the Influence Network? I joined this week and have already been so blessed with the community on there. If you’re on there, hit me up! I’d love to connect. :)
Linking up with Lauren today! Have a great weekend, y’all!
1. Who needs prayer? I am running for two hours tomorrow and would love to spend that time praying for you! Comment or email me your requests and I promise they will be lifted up during my 12-mile jaunt.
2. When I got back from my vacation, I had over 1,000 unread blog posts in my Google Reader. Overwhelming! So I decided to mark them all as read and start from scratch. But I couldn’t miss a few of my favorites, so I went back through to see what I missed. Some include my real life friends (hey guys!), Ashley Ann, Posie Gets Cozy, Oh Sweet Joy (she’s having a boy!), A Cup of Jo, Kendi Everyday. Which blogs do you get excited about every time you see they have a new post? I’d love to know which ones they are! (And it’s really okay if you don’t say mine… I love finding out new ones!:)
3. J sent me this link on famous photos turned self-portrait the other day. Pretty funny to image these classic photos as if they were taken from a phone. :)
4. Are there any Hobbit fans out there? I just started reading the book about a week ago and am halfway done, so I assume I’m good for the movie that comes out this weekend (considering they’re breaking the book into three movies… still curious to see how they’re going to do that). Anyway, for any of you fans out there, here’s a cute Hobbit print for you:
5. I am over-the-moon excited about this weekend. Remember my massive to do list? Each line is (hopefully) getting slashed this weekend as I organize my home and Christmas list. This is my last weekend before the craziness and excitement of Christmas comes, so I have got some serious work to do!
What are you up to this weekend? Have a great one!
