What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm linking up with Jamie again to share what I'm loving on this Wednesday!

I'm loving that I WON a giveaway for the FIRST time!

Thanks to Kelly and Missy B's Boutique for the chance to win! I can't wait to get this little cutie..I think it is just perfect for Spring :)

I'm loving that I've come out of my recipe rut with the help of How Sweet It Is and (of course) PW's Tasty Kitchen. I love that, with the help of the web, I have thousands of recipes right at my finger tips!

I'm loving that Rob & I have a double dinner date with some of our besties tomorrow night!

I'm loving that I will be able to see CONTACT & GLASSES FREE at this time next week!

I'm finally putting my birthday gift from my sweet hubby to use and getting Lasik on Monday!

Side note: I wish I had not google-imaged pictures of Lasik

...the claws they use to hold your eyes open are sorta scary.

I'm loving Burt's Bees skin care products! Gentle and all-natural...gotta love that. Just what a sensitive-skinned gal like myself needs.

I'm loving that we've had one last cold-spell in the last couple of days before the HEAT of summer hits. Nothing better than Taco Soup on a chilly night!

I'm loving the PEACE and HOPE that can be found by simply seeking God's word.

"Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:6-7

As always, I'm loving my wonderful hubby!

He's my rock, my encourager, and my best friend! Don't know what I'd do without him.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

miscellaneous monday

Please tell me you watch Bethenny Ever After? If you follow me on Twitter, then you already know how obsessed I am with this show. If you don't, well, I don't know...I guess you don't know. Anyway, I seriously cannot get enough! Bethenny cracks me up - she has the most hilarious one-liners ever, and she is SO real. She's a no-nonsense kinda gal, and I love that about her! To top it all off, she is the sweetest mama to baby Bryn. Ahh, so precious.

Moving right along...last week I decided to make Bisquick's version of the infamous Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits - gluten free, of course. They turned out pretty yummy! If you're a g-free-er, I would definitely recommend making these! I served them to Rob, Lexi & Mike and they all loved them!

Sorry, y'all...I am all over the place tonight. Welcome to my head this evening.

Remember my pillow saga from last year? We got new couches, I hated the pillows that came with them, I searched high and low for fabric to recover the pillows, and now...I don't like the "new" ones either. Ugh. I mean, they're okay, but I don't love them, and the pillows are a funky shape now. So now I'm on the hunt for pillows again. Oy. Story of my life.

I'm wanting something much softer this go-'round. This is what I keep picturing in my head...

A very, very soft leopard and a beige zig-zag design. These are too brown, but you get the idea right? I'm definitely going to have to make them (ie: have Rob's grandma do it for help me) because I don't have $75+ to shell out PER pillow. I change my mind way too often for that nonsense. So, my question to you--have you found any online fabric stores that you love? I'm in the DFW area often-ish as well as San Antonio, so I'm welcome to store ideas in those areas as well! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :)

And to top off all of the randomness going on in this post...here are some pictures from St. Patty's that I never posted! We met up with Lexi & Mike for a green cocktail to celebrate the occasion! Love, love my friends!

Safe to say, none of us were pinched!

Have a fabulous Tuesday, friends!

restful weekend.

This weekend was super low key and relaxing! Don't ya just love that every now and again? I worked allll day Friday, so by the time I got home at 10:30, I was pretty much zonked. I went to bed and slept until 9:45! I couldn't believe it. Felt so good.

Saturday morning was spent doing a little Spring cleaning, then it was off to shop and lunch with the Lisa's (my momma and her bestie).

Here's what I came home with:

Crazy, huh? Especially since it was 85 degrees on Saturday. But here's why:

Can you believe that?! $0.47?! I got 3 sweaters, 3 turtlenecks and a skinny belt for a whopping $3.05!! Can't beat that with a stick. Granted, I won't be able to wear them for 8 months, but there's no way I could pass those bargains up ;)

After my shopping success, Rob, my mom, and I got to hang out with our favorite 3 year old for awhile! She is really coming out of "toddler-hood" and becoming a little girl. Brings a tear to my eye. She is so much fun, though! We had a practice run at hunting Easter eggs, played with rubber snakes (snakes are her FAVORITE! Ha!) and had a bath in my mom's big garden tub. That's a must for Natalie when she goes to her Aunt Lisa's house! Precious girl.

Rob and I were lazy this morning...slept in, skipped church. So, we decided to make a big, fat brunch. Mmmm. Doesn't this guy look good cooking in pink? ;) Still makes me giggle a little inside when I see this sight.

Bacon, eggs and g-free banana pancakes.

We topped off the weekend by spending the afternoon with friends and the evening with family! Here's to hoping you had a great weekend, as well!

Love, love.
