Share 4 Somethings

Happy Saturday!

I wasn’t sure I’d have time to write this post, but I decided to sit down and write it this morning because I like linking up at the end of the month for Jennifer’s Share 4 Somethings. Plus, I never sit down, write, and just hit “publish” immediately, and that’s nice to do sometimes.

This time, I’m going to deviate a bit from the prompts and just Share 4 Somethings from this week.

1. Chicken

This week, we had two of my favorite chicken recipes because they are quick and easy…and we usually have leftovers for me to take for lunch.

I made baked chicken on Tuesday, and made dinner even easier with Bob Evans mashed potatoes as a side.

On Thursday, I had a hair appointment after school, so I made Shay’s Chicken Tortilla Soup in the slow cooker. On Thursday morning, as I was adding ingredients into the slow cooker, I realized I’d forgotten the ranch style beans. They are the star of the show. Travis picked some up on his lunch break, and added them to the slow cooker.

As I was cleaning up dinner on Thursday night, I realized the ceramic part of my slow cooker is cracked. Actually I thought something was up the past few times I’ve used it, but then I saw the crack. I’m “panicked” because I use that thing all the time. I guess I will have to get a new one. My sister-in-law and I have the same one, and when I borrow her’s on St. Pat’s Day, so I can make two corned beef and cabbages, I always want to make sure to give her hers back. I guess now we might have two different ones depending on what I buy.

2. Pampering

Well, this was an unintentional week of pampering for me. On Monday, I went and got a pedicure which is just what I normally do around spring break…but I wanted to beat the spring break crowd who I knew would be there later in the week.

On Thursday, I had a hair appointment. I always love getting my hair touched up, and the way she styles it, I can usually get a couple days of out of it. It was nice to just brush my hair and go yesterday for school. While I was there, I did pick up my favorite shampoo and conditioner because I drew a card for 20% off. I usually just get it at Ulta, but I like a deal.

Last night, I got a spray tan. It’s not like we are headed to the beach, but I wanted to have a little color. Thanks to Amy sharing about her Sun Tan City tanning experiences, last year I had the courage to give it a try a few times. So, I wanted to go yesterday just to have a little color, but also remind myself the “do’s” and “dont’s” one more time before maybe getting a spray tan for a few spring things like Keeneland later in the month.

I tried a new color Arigato from Tokoyo this time. I do the Versa at Sun Tan City (old pic from when I had to use the other booth once last year)

3. Spirit Week

This week was spirit week at school. I like when they choose easy and fun outfits to wear. Wednesday was soccer moms vs BBQ dads, and it was so funny to see so many people participate. Yesterday was PJ day, and that was very much needed. I just wore my favorite PJ sweats from Walmart that I got a few years ago.

Old pic, but this was my outfit (minus the slippers)

4. Easter Fun

My friend is having some families over this evening for the little kids to hunt eggs. We are letting the big kids find a few eggs too if they want. Then, we’re grilling out and hanging out a bit.

I picked up this cute cake at Kroger to bring:

My kids are going to dye eggs this morning…once Hadley gets out of bed. haha

Anyway, that’s a peek at my week. We have some really nice weather today, so we are going to get out and enjoy it.

See you Monday for Prime Purchases.
