Five on Friday!

Since I've been so neglectful of the blog,

 I thought I better get a quick "5 on Friday" post!

1.   Garden Shoes.   I LOVE these so-called garden shoes -- I also wear them when it's rainy as I don't want my shoes to get soaked.  From Target in the garden area on discount shelves!

2.  Trader Joe's Serum.  I'm not into a lot of face creams, anti-aging lotions (although I probably should be), but I found this serum from Trader Joe's that is reportedly the exact same as a $75+ serum!  I'll take the $10 Trader Joe's stuff.  It does make your face feel amazing! 

 But sadly, the wrinkles are still there! 

3.  Panera's Strawberry Poppyseed Salad with Chicken.   Just YUM!  I'm not a salad eater, but this salad is divine!  I would eat it every day if Panera was closer!

Getting my daily dose of fruit and vegetables - go me!

4.  Instax Camera.   These little Instax cameras are so fun and remind me of the good old days when Polaroid cameras were around.  Did you know Polaroids are back??  We love having one of these little bitty cameras to get a photo of the littles sometimes!

5.  Pink Lemonade.  Miss M couldn't believe that I could actually make some pink lemonade from a can of  frozen pulp and water!  Who knew???  Of course I knew.  We used to always make lemonade and orange juice from the frozen cans and then I'd use the cleaned out cans as 

rollers to attempt to straighten my hair!  :) 

Dual purpose back in the day!  

Would love to hear about your favorite 5!

  Please share!

Five on Friday

Trying something new  -- here's a

"Five on Friday" list.

1.  The Weather  -- Our Scottie loves the snow -

me, Maddie and the Rickster -- not so much.

By February, we are definitely ready for warmer temps and green

grass!

2.  Super Bowl Food -- Can I get a Yum!

We love Mexican dip for the Super Bowl (but, wasn't that game a snoozefest??)

or a salsa dip from Trader Joe's called Cowboy Caviar -- mix it with

some cream cheese and heat it up! It's so good and

has a real cowboy kick to it!

3.  Trees -- There were (operative word is "were" - they are all gone now)

 some huge evergreen trees behind our fence.  

Last week, the utility company sent some incredibly

brave and talented men to cut those trees down so

the power won't be affected during storms with

tree branches falling.

They did an amazing job!

4.  Jane -- A couple weeks ago, we took Jane (almost 9!)

out for her Xmas gift experience.

We went to Barnes and Noble and then to Scooters!

She picked out a book and then a yummy smoothie and a scone!

The boys' experiences will be coming up in the future.

Each little got a coupon for a special fun time

with me and Maddie!

5.  Cookies!  

M and I bought one of these little bitty cookies in a skillet 

mixes at Christmas.  I bought it as a gift and gave it to myself!

We baked it and maybe we did it wrong

as it turned out really dry! 

 Edible and so cute - but dry!

Ever since then, I've been dreaming of baking chocolate chip

cookies!

Have a fun weekend!!
