Five on Friday - May 6, 2022

Happy Friday!  This day is a little bitter sweet for us because it's the last day of our vacation.  We'll be headed home tomorrow.  I've had to do quite a bit more work on this vacation than I'd hoped, so we just might need another vacation soon!  

Let's look at my five for today ~

1.  Mother's Day

Sunday is Mother's Day!  President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother's Day a national holiday for the first time on May 9, 1914.  I would like to wish a special Happy Mother's Day to my mom and mother-in-law!  And Happy Mother's Day to everyone who unselfishly dedicates their time and talents to mothering.  Hope you have a wonderful day!

2.  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

For all you Doctor Strange fans, get ready for the release of the newest movie.  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opens today!  Here's the synopsis from Fandango ~

In Marvel Studios’ “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” the MCU unlocks the Multiverse and pushes its boundaries further than ever before. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary.

3.  Casual New Top

I recently ordered this top in black from Amazon and love it!  We had a concert coming up and I just wanted something new to wear and had zero time to go shopping.  So I took a chance and ordered from Amazon.  It comes in a ton of colors and the fit is true to size.  

4.  Kindle Paperwhite

While on vacation this week, I've been doing a lot of reading outside.  My old Kindle was very difficult to see when I was sitting outside with my sunglasses on.  Eric gifted me a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas and I'm loving it!  It's so easy to see in the bright sunshine and has made reading at the beach so much more enjoyable!  Another great feature is it's waterproof.  So if you're at the pool or laying in the tub, no worries if it gets a little wet.  Love it!

5.  So true...

Hope you're weekend is wonderful!  I'll be sharing our vacation story next week so be sure to pop in.

Thinking Out Loud Thursday - May 5, 2022

Thanks for stopping by Thinking Out Loud Thursday!  I'm on vacation this week, sitting in my very own time-out chair on the beach.

Five on Friday - April 29, 2022

Let's hear it for Friday!  We are so darn happy to see this week come to an end because we are heading to the beach first thing in the morning.  I'm so looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation.  Before we hit the road, let me share my five for today ~

1.  Ozark Season 4, Part 2

Are you ready to wrap up the Ozark series?  The remaining seven episodes of part 2 are dropping today!  I see some binge-watching in my near future.  I'm so anxious to see how the story will end with Marty, Wendy, and the kids.  This has been a great show and I think they are ending it at the perfect time.  The story is still intriguing and they're going out before they run it into the ground.  

2.  Alton Brown Good Eats 4

I'm such a sucker for good cookbooks and a good one came at this week.  The fourth and final Alton Brown Good Eats was released this week.  Here's the summary from Amazon ~

An all-new collection of must-have recipes and surprising food facts from Alton Brown, drawn from the return of the beloved Good Eats television series, including never-before aired material

This long-anticipated fourth and final volume in the bestselling Good Eats series of cookbooks draws on two reboots of the beloved television show by the inimitable Alton Brown—Good Eats Reloaded and Good Eats: The Return. With more than 150 new and improved recipes for everything from chicken parm to bibimbap and cold brew to corn dogs, accompanied by mouthwatering original photography, The Final Years is the most sumptuous and satisfying of the Good Eats books yet.

Brown’s surefire recipes are temptation enough: the headnotes, tips, and sidebars that support them make each recipe a journey into culinary technique, flavor exploration, and edible history. Striking photography showcases finished dishes and highlights key ingredients, and handwritten notes on the pages capture Brown’s unique mix of madcap and methodical. The distinctive high-energy and information-intensive dynamic of Good Eats comes to life on every page, making this a must-have cookbook for die-hard fans and newcomers alike.

3.  Beach Resort Candle

Last year when we were at Disney, we stayed at the Beach Club Resort.  Every time we entered the hotel, the scent was absolutely amazing!  When we got home, our daughter-in-law gifted me this candle that smelled exactly like the hotel!  She found it on the Magic Candle Company site and they have lots of other scents too.  I love it so much I'm taking it on vacation with me this year so our condo has that beach resort smell.  

4.  Wax Seal Stickers

Invitation season is upon us.  There are all those weddings and showers coming up!  If you're involved in any of the invitation preparations, look at these wax seal stickers.  I love them!  I also love pulling down the lid to our mailbox and having a pretty envelope waiting for me inside.  These make dressing up envelopes pretty effortless.  

5.  How I feel...

Have a fantastic weekend!  We're getting away for a few days and I'm giddy with excitement.  Pop in next week to see where we are.

2022 Spring Mantel

Hello friends - thanks for stopping by!  Welcome to Thinking Out Loud Thursday where I share something on my mind and invite you to link up and do the same.

Today I'm sharing our mantel decorations.  There's always this lull between taking down the Easter decorations and the next holiday we decorate for, which is the Fourth of July for us.  I popped in Hobby Lobby looking for some inspiration and boy did I find it!  I thought maybe I'd find a thing or two to add to some of the items we already had, but I ended up filling my cart with all new stuff and I'm not even sad about it.

It started with this large affirmation piece saying to choose kindness.  It was on clearance and I got it for a steal.  

Come to find out, many of their affirmation pieces were on clearance so I added a few more to my cart.

Next, I went in search of a pop of color.  The biscuit barrel was a little deceiving.  It looks ceramic, but it's really metal.  Which equates to it not being as breakable.  In the cart it went!

The candlesticks were the height I knew I'd needed to balance that end of the mantel.  The opposite end is home to a new glass jar full of willow branches.  

It honestly took me longer to take the tags off my new purchases than it did to put the mantel together.  We love the way it turned out and I'm in no hurry to change the decorations any time soon.

Now it's your turn - what are you thinking out loud about today?  Link up and share!
