More like is it 5 o'clock yet?
I hope this week treated everyone well. It went pretty smoothly for me and I finally got caught up on The People vs. OJ Simpson in the evenings and some of my other mindless shows. I'm hoping this weekend is a fairly relaxing one but I do love getting out the house to grab a bite or meet up with friends so we shall see where the wind takes me.
Let's get into some Faves:
Earlier this week, I enjoyed reading these mobile photography tips for creating quality photos for Instagram. Just good to know as a blogger.
On Tuesday night we made this Spinach & Brie Stuffed Chicken recipe (minus the cranberries) and it was so delicious. It's been added to my list of favorite meals to cook for dinner.
Emelia announced earlier this week the opening of her new Etsy shop called Dreamy Details where she sells fun and inspirational wall art creations. I picked out the Life is Better with Furry Friends print for my office desk. I was able to download it right away, print it on glossy paper and get it framed for less than $10. I think her prints are perfect for affordable gifts for friends.
The home project that I'm planning to tackle in the upcoming weeks is landscaping the front area of our house. Our lawn looks great but 5 years after purchasing our home, the landscaping has gone to shit so I've been looking for some inspiration and ideas that will endure Florida weather. Honestly we will probably need to hire a landscaping company but I want to decide on a vision before then.
Found another type of dental chew treat that Lola enjoys from Chewy.com. Zuke's Z-bones and Whimzees dental chews are her favorite treats of all time and they're good for her hygiene so I approve. Yesterday I did a Throwback Thursday post and shared the story of how Lola joined our family, check it out here if you happened to miss it.
Speaking of hygiene, one of my absolute favorite products that I stumbled upon at our local grocery store are the Petkins Pet Wipes....I use them to clean any dirt off of Lola's face, body and paws and they make her smell really good.

I hope you find the landscaping look that you're going for...and that it's manageable enough for you to tackle without needing to spend endless $$$ on landscaping. Finger crossed!
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's after 5am...that's still 5 o'clock, right? haha Have a great weekend!
I saw that van picture earlier this week and totally laughed because it's so true!! That recipe looks amazing - I can't wait to try it!! Happy Friday girl! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI bet Ruger would love those bones! We only have watched the first two episodes of the OJ series, but I have the rest recorded, so we plan to catch up on those this weekend! We are doing some landscaping this weekend too in our backyard. Last year we built a pergola and did some corner work, now we are working on a stone pathway and outdoor cooking area. Happy Friday!! Have a great weekend!

Anything with brie is for me.

Oooh! I have been meaning to watch the OJ show! How do you like it? Have you read about that knife they found at OJ's house? It is all over the news today! Crazy!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh that van is hilarious. off to check out that instagram / phone photos article. why not, i use it more than my camera haha. hmm those pet wipes are interesting, i might have to look into those for rare messes.. they don't happen often, but when they do, cats don't like to be cleaned! good luck with finding the landscaping inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteHahahaa that kidnapper's van - SO true. I definitely need to read that piece on better Instas - thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteNew landscaping is so exciting! My husband is really looking forward to having our first house sometime and picking all that stuff out haha.

Thanks so much Kate!
Deletei love that mimosa van, so funny. Also, is the OJ thing good? I haven't watched yet but want to solely because of David Schwimmer, ha. And yes, IS IT time for champagne yet?
ReplyDeleteI lol'ed to the van, that is every girl's dream, right? Good luck with the landscaping brainstorm, its so hard to have stuff suited to the hot weather! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you could totally kidnap me if you were handing out free mimosas or wine! We're huge fans of stuffed chicken, and the one you made this week sounds amazing! I'm so excited for Emelia's shop! She has such cute things on her site, and like you said they'd make the perfect gifts for friends! I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwe thank you so much Ashley, I appreciate that!
DeleteI feel like landscaping always sounds so fun, but then once you get into it, it ends up being more than you realized! So fun to design what you want though even if you end up hiring someone to take care of it! I'm going to check out that instagram article! Happy Friday :)
ReplyDeletehaha how to kidnap. That is so funny. Thanks for the laugh. And it is always time for Champagne! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOmg that van picture.... #dead. That little photography tutorial was really good! Thanks for sharing. I am a professional mobile photographer lol
ReplyDeleteHahahaha I saw that van picture earlier this week and i was like yup....that would do it!!! Ughhhh landscaping can be so daunting!!! Good luck with whatever you guys decide. I will have to check out those dog treats, my dogs aren't fans of greenies but they need something for their teeth. I could probably use some photo tips so I will have to check those out too!
ReplyDeleteOh that van - so, so true! Too funny. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThat chicken dish looks absolutely amazing! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHaha at the how to kidnap me! Good luck with figuring out landscaping this weekend! I need to pick up some of those pet wipes for Sky! Sounds like a good way to wipe her paws after it snows.
ReplyDeleteI am itching to get outside and finally do some landscaping! But sadly everything is still covered in layers of snow. Come ooooh spring!
ReplyDeleteHA I love that white panel van, totally would be willingly kidnapped for free mimosa! I love that print you picked up, I'm going to have to check out her shop!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nikki! I saw you favorited the shop--thanks for checking it out!
DeleteI'm so sorry I'm just now seeing this, I'm a bit behind on last week's blog reading (especially Friday since I was sick that night when I usually read them)...your print looks so cute framed, I'm glad you love it. THank you SO MUCH for sharing! Xo!
