Five on Friday - August 16, 2019

Happy Friday friends! I'm coming at you from Ireland today. We are having such a great time and I can't wait to share all our adventures with you starting next week. But for now, here's my five for today ~

1.  National Tell A Joke Day
Bring out your humor today and share a joke or two because it's National Tell A Joke Day!  Need a joke to share?  Here's a couple for you:
What do you call a fairy that doesn't take a shower?  A stinkerbell.
Why do bees have sticky hair?  They use honey combs.
Why did the golfer bring two pair of pants to the golf course?  In case he got a whole in one!
National Tell A Joke Day - August 16


2.  Where'd You Go, Bernadette?
Did you guys read the book Where'd You Go, Bernadette?  I read it for book club a few years ago and am anxious to see what they do with the movie.  The book was a bit quirky for me.  Here's how Rotten Tomatoes sums up the movie:
"Based on the runaway bestseller, Where'd You Go, Bernadette is an inspiring comedy about Bernadette Fox (Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett), a loving mom who becomes compelled to reconnect with her creative passions after years of sacrificing herself for her family. Bernadette's leap of faith takes her on an epic adventure that jump-starts her life and leads to her triumphant rediscovery."


3.  Smart Plugs
Eric picked up the greatest thing at Sams the other day - smart plugs!  I am forever calling him after I leave the house to see if he can make sure I unplugged my curling iron.  Well, now I just plug my appliance into this smart plug and I can turn it on and off from my phone.  How cool is that!  So, if I get to work and wonder if I actually turned off my curling iron, I can just check on my phone to see how good my memory was as I was rushing out of the house that morning.  Brilliant!  Need some?  Click HERE to purchase your very own.

4.  Taylor Swift - Lover
Hey all you Swifties out there - she's done it again!  Taylor new album, titled "Lover", is coming soon and a few of the singles are out there for your listening pleasure.  She made history by taking home the very first icon award given at the Teen Choice Awards.  While accepting the award, she announced her new single "Lover" will be out today.  If you want to pre-order the entire CD, click HERE.

Lover

  1. Those smart plugs are so neat! Hope you're having a great time in Ireland. Our playground was on the blacktop-- swings, jungle gym, etc. Sure we all ended up with skinned knees but we survived!

  3. My kid has talked non-stop about Swifter's new album. She's already made me promise that I will take her to get it next Friday after school.

  4. I love anything smart for the home, those plugs are awesome. And super handy you can turn them off from your phone, say for a time that you leave your curling iron on and those things are HOT. Thanks for sharing.
    Hope you guys had a fabulous trip away and you came back home relaxed. :)
