Five on Friday - August 9, 2019

Happy Friday!  Three cheers for the weekend!  At the end of the day, I'm on vacation for a week so I'm hoping to get tons done at work today and leave feeling like I accomplished all the things I need to get done.  Before I tackle my work load, here's my five for today ~

1.  The Art of Racing in the Rain
Grab your tissues if The Art of Racing in the Rain is the movie you're seeing this weekend!  It's opening today and if it's half as good as the book, it's going to be a masterpiece.  Here the synopsis from Fandango ~
Based on the best-selling novel by Garth Stein, THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN is a heartfelt tale narrated by a witty and philosophical dog named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner). Through his bond with his owner, Denny Swift (Milo Ventimiglia), an aspiring Formula One race car driver, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition and understands that the techniques needed on the racetrack can also be used to successfully navigate the journey of life. The film follows Denny and the loves of his life - his wife, Eve (Amanda Seyfried), their young daughter Zoe (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and ultimately, his true best friend, Enzo.

If you haven't read the book, add it to your to be read list.  You won't be disappointed!


2.  Pioneer Woman Luggage
Pioneer Woman does it again.  Just look at this adorable new luggage!  This lightweight carry-on size piece of luggage comes with an impressive price tag ($59) and is available at Walmart.  One thing any piece of luggage I buy these days must have is 360 navigation, which this one does have.  Also, it comes with a 10-year warranty.  Which one is your favorite?
                                          
3.  Lucky Charms Marshmallows
Guess what - you know those little marshmallows found in Lucky Charms cereal.  Well, picture them full size and on shelves near you for only $1.50 for a 7 oz. bag.  That's right - the cereal company is collaborating with Jet-Puffed to bring the enlarged version of the little pink hearts, green clovers, yellow stars and blue moons we love from the breakfast treat.  I'm going to be on the look out in my stores for these babies!  Let me know if you sight any.


I spied these shoes on a blogger friend's post and immediately knew I had to have a pair.  When they arrived, I slipped them on and truly thought I'd never take them off!  There are no words to describe how comfy they are.  Besides the comfort factor, they are also waterproof.  If you are looking for a fun pair of casual shoes, look no further!  These are for you.

5.  I need a nap....

  6. Have a great time on vacation!! Also I had no idea the pioneer woman had a luggage line! She’s on top of the world!

    Also that book killed me—it was so good. Excited to see the film but maybe in the comfort of my own home do I don’t sin all over the place 😆
