Five For Friday- June 26th

I am excited to link up with DoodleBugs Five For Friday

 So, I have been keeping this a secret until 12 weeks. We finally were able to have our baby announcement this week. 

After lots of debating and laughs this is the announcement we used,

This was a close second, and my husband used this one on instagram because he really liked it, 

Here are some outtakes from the photo we took,

All in all, it was a lot of fun! It is much harder than you think to blow a bubble a the same time!

ERIN CONDREN!

My Erin Condren Life Planner came in the mail and I am so excited. Also, excited that some of my friends are getting theirs for the first time this year and they keep updating me on how they can't believe they've lived without one.

 I started adding dates in my calendar with fun stickers! Hooray for organization!

Summer Cleaning!

I've started some summer cleaning and reorganizing and pinterest/etsy is your best friend when you are trying to get better organized. 

I ordered a magnetic chalkboard that I plan to hang in my bathroom and put magnetic tape on the back of my make up and it will attach to the board instead of take up room on the counter. 

I got the idea on pinterest-

I ordered the magnetic chalkboard from etsy. I realize many people are crafty and can make their own. I have so many projects going on that I just wanted to order this. 

I found one on their with a gray wood border and I am buying this mason jar organizer to put brushes, qtips, (my husbands razor ugh) and toothbrushes/paste.

I also ordered a jewelry organizer. 

I ordered a cheap tie rack to organize my scarves as well. 

We are doing some massive cleaning. I have even started putting shoes, etc. on ebay and making a big stack of stuff for a yard sale later this summer. 

Entertainment

I read book 2 in the Ascendance Trilogy and I am working on book 3. :)

I read Gone Girl a long time ago.  My husband and I finally watched it and he is so mad at the ending of the story. -Ha!

Maternity Clothes

I've had to start purchasing some maternity clothes and here are some of my favorites thus far. Let me know if you have some favorites in maternity clothes. 

Demi Panel Resolution True Skinny Jeans

I am super short and have to have pants/jeans that come in an ankle/short measurement.

Love these jeans!

I have this very basic Maternity Textured Tee by Liz Lange in a couple of colors and these are my go-to shirts. 

I hope you enjoyed my randomness from the week!

Favorite Things Linky - April

Favorite Things Linky- April 

A few of my favorite recent Amazon purchases! 

1. New Phone Case- I've been needing a new phone case. I usually buy an Otterbox case, but they just aren't very cute and I was wanting something new. I have really enjoyed this case thus far. The texture is rubbery which I like. I don't like cases that are smooth and feel like plastic. It is also bright, which I like so I can find it easily. All in all, I like this phone case. 

2. Sanuk Sandals- These sandals are the best! They also have them in zebra print. The bottoms are made from the same material as yoga mats. So comfy! 

3. WD Storage Device- I bought a storage device to start backing up all my TPT files on each week. I had a big mishap on my last computer that suddenly died with tons of my work on it. The worst was my clip art files that I wanted to offer black/white versions as well. Those originals are lost forever! Ugh! I have learned my lesson and I know save them on my one drive, my computer, and this storage device. How and where do you save your files?

I am linking up with Oh' Boy Fourth Grade. 

Listening- The Fall on Netflix, sometimes you just need a good murder mystery show. I love netflix! Binge watching a show all at once is the best!

Loving- my new purchase of a Diamond Foot File by Earth Therapeutics, seriously how did I live without it? It is one of those products where right after you use it, you pick up your phone and tell your sister she has to go buy one. It's like getting a pedicure at home. It is way better than a puma stone!

Thinking- I need to tackle some things on my to do list and I just read a post about how you can write off the Vegas TPT Conference on taxes since it is a business trip, for real? Awesome! I did not go last year, but may need to attend this year. 

Wanting- Breakfast for dinner- yum. I am waiting on my hubs to get home so I can cook it and enjoy. 

Needing- to work out- My school is doing "biggest loser" and I need to work out and loose some weight. I think weather/temperature directly relate to whether or not I work out. If it is warm I have absolutely no problem going outside and jogging with my dogs. If it is cold I just want to sit under a blanket. I don't even want to get on the elliptical in the house! Of course, the above breakfast for dinner probably won't help or the girl scout cookies I bought earlier....sorry Team 1!

Spring Break Plans- We've booked a beach trip to Florida and I can't wait! That's one of the good things about being married to a teacher, you have the same weeks off and can take trips. Warm weather here we come!

Keurig Love!

So, I know I am late to the show, but I finally bought a Keurig and honestly I don't know what took me so long! It is absolutely fabulous. It is extremely fast and brews a cup perfectly. I no longer have to wait for a pot of coffee to brew, which I didn't realize took so long until now that I have the Keurig and it takes about 60 seconds from wanting coffee to getting in my hands.

 I did not purchase the one that makes a whole carafe, but I am sure that one is amazing as well.

So far, my favorite brews are Starbucks Pikes Place Roast and Starbucks Holiday.

My husband does not drink coffee, but is enjoying making apple cider, hot chocolate and sweet tea.

If you go to Starbucks, I highly recommend that you use the app to pay. You can earn rewards and free drinks with the app and get a free drink on your birthday.
