Friday 5

 

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on here. I did not mean to take 3 whole weeks away from blogging but with the holidays and sickness plaguing each and every one of us in my family, I just had to let it go for a bit..
But I hope next week I will be back full speed and have this quick Friday 5 to get back into it ;)

-ONE-
Farewell Christmassy Best
So sad that Starbucks seasonal Carmel Brulee Latte will be going away until next year. Man, I just love these soo much!! Had to stop for one after Christmas Eve church :)

To Grandma, with Love
Got this mug for my mother in law for Christmas and it was a big hit! I mean, is your MIL the hardest women in the world to shop for too?! Mine doesn't want/ask for anything!! But she loved this mug and I added all 5 of her grandkiddos, 6 if you include Oscar. And of course! I didn't remember to take a picture of it #figures

Pizza Soup
So I have made this recipe for my family several times so far this winter and its been a big hit each time. I found that my family likes it when I add a little penne noodles to the top and top it all with a little more cheese #yum
(and I use a whole jar of spaghetti sauce, unlike the recipe in the link says)

Sick.Sick.Sick
Everybody is sick. Me. the baby. the Mr. The healthiest one of us is Liam and the dog. Oh dear... I see a long weekend of Pj's and resting in our future. I need to stock up on Kleenex stat!

-FIVE-
They Say It's your Birthday
The new year and just like that, I am in birthday party planning mode!! I have gone BIG for Liam's 1st and 2nd Birthday parties and while I am still undecided what I am exactly doing for #3, I have locked down my themes for each boys' big day. Here is inspiration:

Liam is into all things Planes Fire and Rescue, so that will be his birthday this year. I found this invite on Etsy and love the layout so I am thinking this is the one I will go with-

For Oden, since his nickname is Odie-bug or little bee, a Bee themed bash seems only appropriate. I hand made Liam's invites for his first birthday, so I plan to do the same for Oden too. I did hand make Liam's second year ones as well, but that did include a print out from Etsy for the invite part so that is not quite the same. I do plan to post recaps of his birthday parties here soon.
Here's inspiration I gathered for Oden's. I want to make the layout more like the one above for Liam's, including a picture on one side and the party info on the other. But I love this bee cut out. Wonder if this shop owner would just sell me the bee's?? hmmmm

Well, LOTS to do for planning these fun celebrations!!

Be Well and Happy Weekend Friends!!
