Five on Friday

sweater: kohls    jeans: H&M maternity  shoes: target

1.  The back of this sweater is way more exciting than the front.  So while I am not a fan of the backside pictures, I feel like I had no choice. 2.  I usually stick to pretty easy recipes, especially when it comes to desserts.  Which is why I loved this one because it starts with a brownie mix and ends with cookie dough that I can eat.  Which beat out the recipe I wanted to make last week.  Cookie Dough Brownie Bites3.  While this recipe is probably still easy to most, to me it is more work then the majority of recipes I make, but I'm sure it's worth it!  I am participating in Jess' Easter recipe swap and this is the recipe I received from Jasmine.  I failed at making it this week but plan on trying it this weekend! Chocolate Guinness Cake

4.  The other day my sister texted me a picture of my cute niece with a high pony tail and said that my three year old nephew said "She looks like a pine cone or a bad guy.  Either way it's not good." 
I don't think he could be any cuter or funnier.  I am missing him a lot!
5. I want to make one of these lamps for our baby room.  I know there are many other things I should be organizing and cleaning at my house, but all I want to do it make things for her room!

Happy Friday! Hope you have a great weekend!

Dear Lauren,

It was so good to see you this weekend! Come back!

Dress & Tights: Kohls    Boots: DSW

Thank you for purchasing this same dress in pink first and going back to Kohls with me so I could buy it in white. 

I'm happy I finally found a lace dress.  

And thanks to a 30% off coupon and $5 gift card, I got it for only $14.  

Thank you for laughing at all my jokes and thinking I'm funny. 

You always boost my self esteem.    

Thank you for giving such a meaningful talk at Lauren's shower this weekend.

Your wisdom, advice and encouragement about marriage was appreciated by everyone there!

You'd probably be embarrassed for me if you knew what trouble I went through to take this outfit picture. 

My real camera is at our parents and Chris wasn't home today. 

Let's just say it involved an older camera, random things to prop it up, a hair tie, and a wasted 20 minutes of my life. 

and thank you for having the cutest kids in the world.  

I could have used some more Yumz and more Travis today. 

Can't wait to see you in 8 weeks! 

Love,
