Friday Fives

1.  We are certainly ready for the trick-or-treaters.  At least that’s what I tell myself was the reason to buy a gallon of candy a couple weeks before Halloween.  D7K_5895

2.  I made margarhita pizza the other night.  It was so good and so easy!  I used Pioneer Woman’s recipe for marinated tomatoes.  Premade pizza crust brushed with pesto sauce.  Yummy in my tummy!D7K_5899

3.  This kid was sent home from school yesterday.  He barfed all over the playground.  Of course I was only at work for 30 mins and got the call.  We spent the rest of the day watching cartoons and napping.  He has a mean gag reflex.  Like seriously he would gag on a grain of salt.D7K_5909

4.  Getting ready to send out my mugs for the fall mug swap! Yay!  A few people emailed me so I’m swapping with whoever….just because I love yuns.  And coffee.  And getting mail.

D7K_59135.  We watched scared Shrekless and some Christmas cartoons because we are totally random like that.  He is feeling much better, I totally believe it’s because Christmas can make anyone feel better 😉

Happy Friday!

(Here’s hoping we make it through the day and don’t need a barf bag!)

Friday Fives

A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of attending an event in Dallas courtesy of Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment. If you are a Mama of a baby in diapers you MUST get this stuff! It’s magic I tell ya! Not only is it an awesome brand the people behind it are so incredibly nice. I also got to reunite with some of my favorite Texas bloggers and they brought in a celebrity guest, Ali Landry, who was SO nice too!drsmithsdallasHere is a little montage of my booger wooger at the pumpkin patch the last FOUR YEARS!  How is this even possible?  I am itching for another bambino, but the hubs isn’t with me yet….but man I miss that little baby….each phase is special all in its own 🙂PicMonkey Collage1Selfies of me and the boogie 🙂 D7K_5464 D7K_5465SO ready for holiday bevs.  Like no joke….I need an eggnog latte stat. tumblr_mdk9l62PoW1ri2wpoo1_1280Speaking of seasonal drinks….Connor boy and I got our pumpkin spice at Seattle’s Best coffee.  It also has pumpkin flavored whip on it.  Delish!IMG_20131006_125212Does someone want to come help me get this monkey out of bed every morning?  You think the day will NEVER come when your kids sleep in and that YOU will be the one dragging them out of bed.  It does come and it’s a pain.  I love my sleep too…but this kid is a bear to get outta bed. IMG_20131010_075542I’m loving these Pop-Out Ornament Christmas cards from MPix.com.  They are so cute and you can just pop them out of your Christmas cards and hang them on the tree.  Brilliant.   UntitledDon’t forget to link up for Friday linkies at Lauren and Darci’s blogs 🙂

Full Mug Swap #CoffeeLoversUnite

I saw these lovelies while surfing the net yesterday…..so  cute!  So then I got to thinking that it IS fall and it IS time for warm beverage season!  So why not have a coffee mug swap???  I’ve done this before in the past with another blog swap and it was SOOOO much fun!  It was my favorite in fact.  Even if you don’t drink coffee you can still use mugs for warm soup or apple cider 🙂

The image above is from an Etsy shop called In A Glaze:

An “Ellie”-gant Shower

A couple of weekends ago I had the joy of hosting a shower for our dear friends Sarah & Hyung.  Terence and Hyung have worked together for over 5 years now.  They’ve always been so good to us and we are THRILLED about baby Ellie’s coming arrival.  I couldn’t have done ANY of this if it weren’t for Abel.  She’s Sarah’s sweet friend who was in charge of most of the decor.  She did a fab job!  I love throwing get togethers and parties.  I’m so excited its fall (almost) and the holiday seasons are around the corner.  I am going to host a cookie exchange party one of these days….that’s one party I’ve always wanted to do.  Maybe it’s because you get to gorge on cookies and it’s okay?

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Sarah, Hyung, and baby Ellie!  We can’t wait to meet you baby girl!  Much love, Ter-Bear, Becky, & Connor 🙂

Here are some shower pics:
