Five on Friday - March 24, 2017

Is everyone enjoying the start of Spring?  Today it is supposed to be over 70 degrees and I can't wait to soak up some sun.  Our daffodils are blooming and it's beginning to feel like winter is behind us.  Thank goodness!

Before I head out into the warm weather today, here's my five for this week~

1.  Snyder's "Wholey Cheese"
I'm so thankful that Eric works at a grocery store because when a new product comes out, he's great about buying it and bringing it home.  The Snyder's "Wholey Cheese" product is a winner!  They come in three flavors (and we've tried them all!) - Mild Cheddar, Smoked Gouda and Swiss with Black Pepper.  Have you seen them at your store?   Love them!

2.  National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day
Okay, when you think of chocolate covered raisins, doesn't Raisinets immediately come to mind?!?  And who loves getting Raisinets when you're at the movie theater??  Celebrate this national day by picking up a box and seeing just how quiet you can eat them during a movie.  Here's something you might not know ~ more than 1 million Raisinets are produced per hour.  That's crazy!  For the healthy people out there, raisins are an excellent source of calcium, potassium, iron, fiber and vitamin B.  Eat up!

3.  CHIPS
If you're looking for a movie to see this weekend, you might want to check out CHIPS.  Ever since Parenthood, I've loved Dax Shepard.  He wrote, directed and is starring in the new CHIPS movie that is opening today.  This movie is an adaptation of the famous TV series from the 70's and 80's depicting a pair of California Highway Patrol Officers.  It looks pretty funny!

4.  Spring Showers
We had rain yesterday and it reminded me that I've been wanting to try this new style umbrella.  The Wasing Double Layer Inverted Umbrella sounds pretty amazing.  When you shut it, it inverts and traps the water allowing it to be drip free.  Genius!  But here's the best part - the handle is a "C" shape and will stay on your arm allowing you to have both hands free! Oh man, I wish I would have had one of these when I was toting around a car seat!  I'm going to give it a try.  Would you like to try one also?  Click HERE to check it out.

5.  Ever feel this way?!?


Happy weekend!  I'm having lunch with a couple friends today and then girls night out tomorrow night.  I'm sure there will be some basketball watching in there too!  Great few days ahead.  Hope you have some fun things in store too.  See you back next week.

  4. Hahaha, that last meme has got me nodding my head up and down. I can relate.

    And those smoked gouda crackers?! That sounds dangerous. I'd have no self-control over those things.

  13. I like the concept of that umbrella. I'm wanting to see CHIPS. Looks funny. I did see previews for the film and definitely would recommend that kids don't watch it.
