Friday Favorites

Happy Happy Happy Friday and Happy May 1st!  I love the month of May - so many fun things to look forward to like our wedding anniversary and Mother's Day!  Not to mention Memorial Day - the official start of summer!

This!  Every year this picture makes me laugh!  Like it literally never gets old!

Here's What I'm loving this week:

1. New Workout Sneakers

In case you missed it, John and I decided it was time once and for all to get into shape!  We have a lot of things motivating us: summer, keeping up with our kids, a family vacation to Disney!  I recently became a beachbody coach and have been working out with programs like 21 Day Fix and T25 right in my own living room!  We treated ourselves to new sneakers that will be worn in the house!  We both picked out a pair of Nike Free Training sneakers, and I am in love!!!  John got black and I got PINK (obviously)!!!

2. Sophie the Giraffe

Paisley is officially teething.  Her teeth aren't in yet but I can see them under the gum!  Parents who have been through this know that they will do just about anything to make their child more comfortable.  So back when Lacie was teething, I ran out to the store and bought this giraffe called Sophie that other parents rave about.  She is as beloved in our house as any other baby toy!  Sophie the Giraffe is essentially a $25 dog toy that they market to desperate parents of teething babies...but she works!

3. Lacie's Dance Recital Pictures
I have definitely posted about it before, but in September we enrolled Lacie in dance!  Words cannot describe how sweet she looks every Wednesday when she heads out to dance class in her tutu!  Lacie lives for dance class days!  I think at the sweet age of 3 we already know what she will be doing from now until she graduates from high school.  Of course John and I will sign her up for other sports and stuff, but I can already tell that dance is going to be her LOVE!  A few weeks ago she got pictures taken in her costume!  I'm in love!

4. Sesame Place

Today, Sesame Place opens for the season.  If you want to know where to find me this summer, I will be at the Street!  We are fortunate to live really close to this theme park based on the Sesame Place characters!  My girls love spending the day here!  I love that is something easy to do for the day and it makes them good and tired for bed!  

5. Summer Inspired Recipes
I am getting so excited thinking about creating new, summer inspired recipes for the blog!  A lot of fruit flavors and a lot of coconut!  My all-time favorite:

Lime in the Coconut Cookies
