High Five For Friday: Fun & Food!

Yo! Sorry for the lackage of posts. I've been quite busy -- but in the best way possible. Our niece came to visit! We had a lot of fun-- we're so glad she chose to spend a few days of her spring break with us! 

Here are 5 of my favorite moments from the week:

1. Going to Dave & Buster's and winning big! We even won over 1,000 tickets on Wheel of Fortune the first time we played it. I think at the end of the night, we had won over 3,000 tickets! It was pretty awesome.

2. Eating at one of our fave breakfast spots- Pfunky Griddle, hiking at Radnor Lake, going to Dragon Park and Centennial Park all in one day.

3. Eating brunch at Mad Donna's and noticing who our server was:

4. Going to the Adventure Science Center and spending several hours there. It was a really cool place. I think we enjoyed exploring just as much as our niece did!

5. All the yummy food we ate!

All-You-Can-Eat pancakes you make yourself at your own table at Pfunky Griddle // Cap'n Crunch French toast at Mad Donna's // tacos & micheladas at Taco Mamacita // Grilled Cheese sandwich & burger w/sweet potato fries from Gabby's

How was your week? Any fun weekend plans? Whatever you do- I hope it's lovely and if you celebrate it- Happy Easter!

High Five For Friday: Guess Who? & Good Food

My five favorite moments from this week:

one// One of my preK kids drew this picture of me and him. He said "...because you love me!" It's moments like that that make my job a lot more tolerable. It made my day.

two// J and I hit up some thrift stores and came up on a perfect set of Guess Who? -- so we played "Subjective Guess Who" and it was a lot of fun. We asked each other questions like "Is your person a hipster?" and "Does your person look like he has to go around introducing himself to everyone when he moves into a neighborhood?" etc etc. It's fun.

three// I'm blessed to have a husband who can cook! And cook really, really well. He made some amazing potato tacos the other night.

four// We ate at Calypso Cafe and ate some really good Caribbean-esque food. And oh man- their hot spiced tea is my fave!

five// Another creative outlet of mine besides this blog is scrapbooking. I left my giant one and all my supplies back home in California. I've been missing it lately, so I went out last night to buy just a few things to start a new one. This time, I'm going to concentrate on mine and J's years together since being married- the start of our family. I already printed the pictures out for Year 1, so I'm excited to get it started tonight! (Inspired by this post on A Beautiful Mess)


How was your week? I hope it was wonderful and that you're staying warm!

High Five for Friday: Cookies, Chai & Snow

I'm long overdue for a High Five for Friday post!

Here are five of my favorite things from this week: 

1// I baked chocolate chip cookies using my favorite recipe! They were so good-- and all gone within a couple of days!
2// I've been sippin on my favorite chai tea a lot lately - thanks to my mom who sent me two containers of it!
3// I got into Snapchat a lot over this past week. I only have a few friends on it, but I really enjoy using the app & sending snaps to my friends a lot!
4// My husband played an open mic last night. I always love watching him do his thang!
5// We had our first snowfall of the season this week!!

How was your week??

High Five For Friday!

It's Friiiddaayyyy! Heeeyyy!

Five of my favorite things from this week:

J & I went on a 22-mile bike ride on the Music City Bikeway. We really love the fact that we live so close to it & that it's extra awesome! // Grocery shopping at the farmer's market-- supporting local economy. // I started my new job this week & J has made my lunch every single day. He's such a sweetheart. // I like when it's nap time at work. A few hours to myself. // Not only does J make my lunches everyday, but he also has had dinner waiting for me when I get home. I am truly blessed with such a loving & supporting husband!

Well as you can tell from the lack of posts, I've been super extra busy, especially now that I have a full-time job. But I am really enjoying my new job & the people I'm working with.

If you missed it, earlier this week I posted about the third part of our roadtrip to the Ozarks. Check it out here:

Hope everyone enjoyed their week & have a great weekend!

High Five For Friday

First off-- HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! Woohoo!

Here are five of my favorite things from this week:

One: On Monday, I had a job interview & got the job! So my hubby & I went out to celebrate-- we even got me a new phone, so this picture was us trying it out. // Two: We live half a mile from a Sonic's... and their shakes are half price after 8pm... good or bad idea? Either way, we've already been twice (in one week! Yikes. Haha...) // Three: We went on a bike ride and rode to downtown. // Four: Last night I made pizza- and it turned out so good! Chicken, spinach, cilantro, grilled onions & cheese with a garlic BBQ sauce. So yummy! // Five: Sometimes, you just gotta turn the funk all the way UP.

And if you missed it, here's what I posted this week:

I'm so glad that we've been able to settle down a bit here in Nashville and that I've had time to get back to blogging. I start my new job soon, so I will be busy again, but I'm hoping it doesn't take away from my blogging time!
