Friday Favorites {#257}

Hello and happy Friday! TGIF! Am I right?!

How was your week? We had a really good one with a little bit of everything from family visiting to track and volleyball to a bit of downtime too.

As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.

This post is rather short and sweet, but here are some favorites from the week.

Well, Derby was a rainy day, but it was still a good day. The kids had a track meet. While we spent most of it dodging rain drops, the meet did move quickly and the kids ran well.

Saturday night, we hung out at home and watched the Derby. My dad was in town, and then we also had my niece and nephew with us while my brother and sister-in-law went to a wedding.

Anyway, the kids had a great time watching the race….very intensely. haha

On Sunday, everyone came over to my house for dinner, and we got the traditional front porch pic with the Major!

We haven’t made much progress on the bathroom since last week as the guy working on it is out of town. With the pause on working, I did take some time to add in some “finishing touches” like hanging up of the hand towel, putting the hand soap on the counter, and putting down the new bath mat. I also had some time to go to Target.

While there, I saw this cute scallop tray….for only $10! I thought it might go on the counter top, but it looks perfect on top of the toilet. These little canisters are the perfect and practical addition as they hold Q-tips, cotton balls and shower steamers for when the shower is finally in working order!

With a new month, I made a few new book trackers and shared them on Instagram. They are saved in the May book tracker highlight if you’re interested in using one.

By last May, I’d been making them for a few months, so I had created a few more compared to the earlier months. This year, I’m just adding a couple of new ones every month. They are cute, fun to make, and an easy way to share what I’m reading. I always smile when others use them, share and tag me!

Track season is winding down, and it’s been nice that so many have been able to come and watch the kids. Trav’s sisters and mom have seen a couple of meets as have my mom and dad. My brother and his family came to watch the kids run on Tuesday night when the weather was finally nice! I hope my kids realize how lucky they are to have such a fierce support system!

Favorite Mom Meme:

With Mother’s Day on Sunday, this meme made me smile:

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

First Mother’s Day in 2010. Crazy how quickly time flies!

Oh what I wouldn’t give to squish those little cheeks again.

…and speaking of Mother’s Day:

Wow! Monday is already the second Monday of the month, so we’re hosting our monthly Share Our Lives link up. This month’s topic is how you spend your birthday. We’d love to have you link up with us.

Weekly Recap:

I had a couple of posts this week:

I hope you have a great weekend. Ours will be non-stop, but I think it might be the last super busy weekend for a while.

I hope all the moms feel the love not only on Sunday, but the whole weekend too!
