Friday Highfive

Hey y'all! I feel like I've got so much to catch up on around here!

Here is a highfive for getting through this week...and on to a long holiday weekend!

{1.}

My absence the last week or so is partly due to being busy "teaching" VBS last week. I was the Music Leader and it was so much fun! My girl had a blast hanging in the nursery and also being mommy's assistant with the big kids.

{2.}

Haps around the house.

Let's see. We ate our first homegrown tomato last week. K sliced it up with salt and pepper and it was the tastiest!

We had a food truck park on our street last Friday... and dinner was served!

Also, a tree fell in the backyard last Saturday night and we had to have it removed this week.

{3.}

Summer fun with friends.

We have had a great time getting out in the sun and enjoying Charleston.

Pool Days:

Pineapple Fountain picnic:

{4.}

I am pulling together some fun stuff for my gf's Bachelorette at the end of the month (July!?!)

I am still looking for a pizza float and perhaps a hotdog. ;)

Oh and this is the dress I am ordering for the wedding in September...we were given free reign in shades of purple. We'll see how it looks!

Not five, but SIX TEETH!!!

And currently cutting molars. Lawd help me.

I hope y'all have a fantastic holiday weekend!!

Our Weekend

Hey y'all!

Some snaps of the haps this weekend going up...on a Tuesday.

Friday I did the grocery shopping with my girl. We also swung by Barberitos and picked up burritos (and queso!!) for dinner. I shared on my instastories (@lauralnielson) that we tried the Costco prepared margaritas and they were perfect for our Friday night fiesta.

On Saturday my mom and I took EB out to the mall for a little shopping trip.

Omg, someone please pinch me:

Saturday night we grilled out.

On Sunday we were out the door to church...

We had lunch on the roof at Carolina Alehouse. EB slept the whole time...this hasn't happened in months!!

Then we took a stroll through Marion Square and browsed the Spoleto Tents.

For dinner I made quick and easy tacos and we hung out on the porch...this June weather has been wonderful, albeit a little wet.

I hope y'all had a great one!

Friday Highfive

Happy Friday!!

Here is a highfive for getting through the week!

{1}

EB's Baptism is next weekend! We are really looking forward to it. It's especially fitting that it's happening on Father's Day because she sparkles brightest for her daddy.

{2}

On Wednesday I made Pad See Ew for dinner and it.was.epic.

I went to the Asian Grocery store to get a few ingredients and followed this recipe.

The only change I will make next time is to add the broccoli sooner, because it was still basically raw and I removed it.

{3}

Front porch sprucing.

I painted our bistro set navy this week and added the lantern. Remaining on my list: cut back the azalea that is covering part of the porch, punchy cushions for the chairs, and a wreath.

I took a chance and ordered this top from Shein last month. It took a while to come in, but overall I'm happy with it. Quality is on par with price. I have been curious about the cheap clothes for years and I've noticed several bloggers pitching them recently so I figured I'd give it a try. Now I just need a fun date night occasion to wear this!
