Five Loves on Friday!



Happy first Friday of MARCH, friends!!! What a nice ring that has to it! ;)  It's been a  l-o-n-g  week, filled with challenges, as well as some pretty sprinkle-worthy moments too!  I can't wait to share it all with you!  Let's dig right in...



1.  Date Night
First off, thank you for all of the sweet comments last Friday wishing me and my hubby a wonderful date night!  Here's how it went...


A half an hour before the girls were to leave for my parents' place we noticed a plumbing issue here. So, our date kicked off at Home Depot, followed by 2 long hours of Jason doing everything possible to fix the situation himself.  I lent my moral support while watching Hart of Dixie.  After doing all he could it became apparent that we'd need to call a professional plumber.  Already into weekend "emergency hours", we were put on a waiting list for the next available plumber.

We decided it'd do no good to spend our evening all upset.  Instead we grabbed Chinese takeout and settled in for a movie night at home.  To lighten the mood we chose Sharknado 2, one of those "it's so bad, it's funny" flicks. ;)  

Shortly after we fell asleep that night we got a call that a plumber was available.  A little over an hour later it was all taken care of. The plumber could have charged us extra for going into a second hour, but he didn't, which was so nice!  By no means was it a dream date night, but it did remind me of three things that I should never take for granted.  First, having running water and the ability to use the bathroom anytime needed is a huge blessing!  Secondly, having a husband who is willing to get his hands dirty and do everything within his power to take care of our family makes me feel like the most blessed girl on the planet!  Most importantly, God provides for all our needs.  My heart overflows with gratefulness! 


2.  Applejack Adorableness


While the girls were at my parents' house on Friday night, Little One and my mom headed to the sewing machine to spruce up Applejack's wardrobe.  The outfit they made came out super cute, and the memories they created in the process are priceless!  


3.  Just Me & My Girls


Jason had to travel out of town for business this week.  While the hubs was away, my girlies and I had a good ol' fashioned slumber party!  We made a pizza so huge that it barely fit in the oven, had a Disney marathon, and chatted for hours about anything and everything.  As much as I missed Jas, I soaked up that special "just us girls" time together! 


4.  Ice Cream Brunch


We also enjoyed a lit'l Ice Cream Brunch with the girls' favorite toppings, and a side of eclairs this week!  It was "sweet"! :)


5.  Show Your Disney Side app



This FREE app is too much fun! 


Me, a quirky princess? Never! ;)  
I really wanted to be a pirate, but I just looked way too happy in each picture I snapped.  Pirates are my favorite...I just can't pull off being one!   :)


Princess plays her favorite villain.


How hilarious is this pic of Little One as a Star Wars X-Wing Pilot?! She makes me smile! :)

Wanna explore your Disney Side too?  Get the app here!


Thanks for stopping by today, friends!  Have a fantastic weekend!  My hubby is back home now so I know I will!!! :D

2. Scent-sational Goodness
While waiting for this seemingly never-ending winter to wrap up, this beachy fragrance is helping me {pretend to} escape!


&





3.  Book + Blanket
A soft throw and excellent book are a perfect combo to enjoy a quiet moment with!




A snippet about this book:

As Christians, we're certainly not immune to the troubles of life. We aren't promised an easy road, and when troubles do come, we're urged to rise above them and experience "peace that passes all understanding." But how, in day-to-day life, does that really happen?

While numerous books have been written on overcoming anxiety, Anxious for Nothing moves us beyond pop psychology's temporary cures by returning us to our one true source of comfort and victory—Scripture. John MacArthur reminds us that God is completely sovereign, understands our struggles, and has equipped us with resources to not only face, but also to triumph completely over our anxieties.



gty.org offers this book for $10.50 + FREE Shipping! // Amazon has the eBook for only $3.03!  Either way, it is worth every lit'l penny!

4.  Junk Food 'n' Jammies
What's better than R&R in a fresh new pair of lounge pants?  Relaxing with a super scrumptious snack!  These PB gems are hard to find, but whenever I spot one I reward myself by purchasing it! ;)



&






5.  Dinner with a Side of Disney
If you're current on my posts here, this is no surprise!  I cannot get enough of these plates!!  Using my new convection oven is even more fun when I get to serve meals on these pixie dusted pretties!  We broke them in last week with some seafood enchiladas - YUMmm!


&






6.  My Valentine Gifts
My {sweet, thoughtful, amazing} husband surprised me with a new phone for Valentine's Day!  Loving my cutesy case too!

&




There you have it, a dozen delights from the last month to officially go down in the books! 

Wishing you a fabulous March!  I'm doing my best not to wish it away in the great anticipation of spring!  It's the only March 2015 we'll ever have, so let's embrace it. Bundle up & enjoy!

Loot Crate February 2015 Subscription Box Reveal


As part of my mystery box Valentine's Day theme for the family this year (see Little One and Princess' boxes here and here), I surprised the hubs with a Loot Crate.  It was so much fun to watch him open and even better to get into the theme of this month's box and "play" as a family!  Here's a look at the loot!
