Friday Favorites

Yay for Friday!

I am excited for this weekend - Royals game tonight, gardening / yard work tomorrow, and then church + TWO birthday parties on Sunday.  Hopefully there will be time to squeeze in a date with the couch too.

Here are a few of my favorite things from this week: 

-Sliced cucumbers

My cousin had these for a snack a lot on vacation, and I found myself always wanting one.  I have already gone through 3 this week.  They are the most refreshing snack and I love anything with a crunch.  I enjoyed some yesterday while Ina took an unheard of afternoon nap.  

- My two souvenirs from San Diego: 

I saw the spoon, fork, and knife necklace at a boutique in Coranado, and almost bought it.  A few days later, it magically ended up in my lap.  I am so spoiled.  Ina loves playing with it.  She used to sit on my lap and tell me which utensil was which.  Last night she took it a step further and tried “eating” from them. 

The one thing I bought at Disneyland was the coffee cup.  It was the most bang for my buck and Ina loves talking about all the characters with me.

- We had our first CSA delivery this week!  It was just a bunch of lettuce and a few radishes, but I was so excited!  I talked with the farmer for about 10 minutes about all the vegetables she is growing, and I am so looking forward to this summer’s cooking.  Ina was excited too -she gnawed on those spicy radishes all night long. 

- My latest Stitch Fix (<--referral link).

How cute are those lime green jeans?  I really liked everything from this month - jeans, two blouses (stripped and Chevron), a bright pink dress, and a cute pair of earrings.  How will I ever decide?  Eeenie, meenie….

- Kath’s guide to Lazy Guy Dinners - I am going to print this out and put it on my fridge.  I loves these ideas for last minute dinners using things I can keep on hand.  Genius.  

- On Gathering Around the Table - I used to be think so much like this too - that I couldn’t invite people over because my house wasn’t clean.  Small group has greatly helped me with that - they are coming over regardless, so I might as well make the most of it. Now I am a little too comfortable with the mess people see.  Ha!

That is all for now.  I hope you have a great weekend!
