Happy Friday!  We are kicking off our annual budget first thing this morning and I’m excited about seeing all of my favorite budget friends at the kickoff party.  It will be a busier than normal few weeks but this is a part of my year I really enjoy.   What better day to kick off than Friday!

I’ve never participated in a currently linkup but thought today I would share some of my favorite things currently going on!

Sending||Love to some sweet bloggers who featured me this week!  It is so much fun to open a blogpost and see your own name mentioned!

Laura of Walking in Memphis and Erin of  The Fashion Canvas  chose a look from the Herringbone Vest post as one of the features for the weekly Trend Spin Linkup!

 Jessica at Sweet Little Ones featured the Perfect Pasta Salad post as her Tuesday Talk feature!!

Eating||  Since the beginning of the year I have been eating lots of “real” food while trying to cut down the carbs and sugar.  I’m proud to say I have only had about 4 slips in a month and I’m feeling alot lighter around the middle.  Here is a picture of the yummy low carb “nachos” I shared last week as part of the What’s Up Wednesday post for January.

Dreaming||Spring is just around the corner and I am dreaming of days filled with sunshine and longer days.  My boy will be leaving for spring training in Florida soon so I’m dreaming up a plan to possibly spend spring break in Florida this year.  Dreams still come true right? 

Smelling||Stinky shoes!  I walked into my sons room and it smelled something awful…one big stinky, sweaty sock!!  I don’t know if it’s sweaty feet and stinky socks or if their shoes are just permanently funk but it’s terrible.  I’ve been looking for help on Pinterest and found this pin suggesting spraying rubbing alcohol will do the trick.  I am just desperate enough to check this out.  Let me know if you have any secrets for solving this problem.  

Hearting||Have you read Jen Hatmaker’s book For the Love yet?  If you want a little more on how great I thought it was you can read my For the Love of Jesus, Jeans & Cabernet post.  Jen was finding so many women wanting this book but finding themselves in a financial situation preventing them from purchasing.  In typical Jen fashion she has found a solution and you can read her original post here or head streat to the Share the Love site here to join the share campaign.  
For the Love

We have family pictures tomorrow so I’m hoping the current forecast holds true and we have a nice sunny afternoon shoot.  With 12 people to herd let’s hope everyone brings their happy face!  Currently the wind is projected to be 10-12 mph and I really hope that changes or we will all be looking like super models!  I might have to bring on the blue steel….lol.  Is anyone else out there a Zoolander fan?

Bet wishes for a super weekend friends!

Today I’m joining Jenna and Anne (a little late) for a look at what is currently going on over here.

  3. This will be the last year that we won't have high school baseball at Spring Break so I'm itching to do something fun. Baseball has ruled my vacations for sooooo long and I don't hate that but just need a little fun. Thankfully my kids know how important the pictures are to me….AND they know that if they are on their best behavior it will be over much quicker. My niece and nephew are just 8 and almost 5….so that could be a little trickier. Have a super weekend Andrea!!

  7. Can't wait for Spring Break! We always go to Rockport, TX to do some fishing with our three boys!

  14. Oh….my boys would totally be all over that! We typically go to Matagorda fishing because it's so near my moms. We are all crossing our fingers that Riley ends up in Corpus with the AA Hooks this summer so we can come down and spend a few weekends in the Rockport/Port A area. Have a super weekend!

  16. It's so hard isn't it? We had our budget kickoff this morning and there was lots of crap food. Last night we went to the kids fave restaurant and there are healthy options but who wants to eat that when the best stuff is all fried. Ugh….back on track tomorrow just in time for family pics! The weather has turned out fine but there is suppose to be high wind…hoping that changes. 🙂

  17. I have For the Love and have yet to read it! Why…I just read your review and snippets and have to get on that!! And have you worn that hat outta the house yet?? Because you should! You look fab! But if I'm being completely honest, I am the same way with a hat that I have too!! HA!! Have a great weekend!

  19. I really want to read that book, it is on my list. I need to eat healthier, so bad! I work out 5x a week, but eat horribly! Congrats on being featured, I love my herringbone vest!
