Five on Friday - July 22, 2016

It's Friday!  I've had one of those weeks where I just could not get ahead of my to do list.  Things were starting to accumulate a bit too much so I decided to take a vacation day today to get things back in order.  Wish me luck!

Before I tackle the list, here's my five for this Friday ~

1.  National Vanilla Ice Cream Day
Tomorrow we have something pretty cool (literally cool) to celebrate - it's National Vanilla Ice Cream Day.  Some time ago, I blogged about my favorite vanilla ice cream recipe.  You can check it out HERE.  I'm definitely whipping some up this weekend!  Speaking of making this recipe, you will want a Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream Maker.  They are WONDERFUL!



2.  Ikea Laptop Support
Last Fall Ikea opened their doors in St. Louis.  I honestly thought I would be roaming their aisles on a weekly basis, but surprising I've only been there a few times.  One of my trips there was strictly to purchase some of these for my friends as gifts.  This laptop stand is seriously the best thing ever!  If you ever stop by my house, you will most likely see me stretched out on the couch with this stand on my lap holding my computer.  It makes working on the computer so nice!  And for only $4.99, you really can't go wrong.   Plus, it's comes in my favorite bright pink color.

3.  Star Trek Beyond
The next Star Trek movie opens today!  Here's the synopsis, "A surprise attack in outer space forces the Enterprise to crash-land on a mysterious world. The assault came from Krall (Idris Elba), a lizard-like dictator who derives his energy by sucking the life out of his victims. Krall needs an ancient and valuable artifact that's aboard the badly damaged starship. Left stranded in a rugged wilderness, Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of the crew must now battle a deadly alien race while trying to find a way off their hostile planet."  If you are a trekkie or trekker, I bet you're pretty excited about seeing this movie.

4.  Sam's Crock-Pot
Even though right now it's hot outside, we're not that far away from tailgating before our favorite football team's games.  Sam's has a ton of different collegiate team Crock-Pots available.  Think of your favorite tailgate recipe simmering away in this cute baby!  How fun would one of these be under your tent before the game or sitting on your table while you watch at home?!?

5.  Pokemon Go!

Ok -- I'm off to get some things done!  I'm headed to a baby shower tomorrow and then headed down to see my mom and dad.  What's on your agenda for the weekend?  Whatever it is, hope you have fun doing it!  See you later!
