Friday Favorites Feature ::Weekend Bloggy Reading::

Is your backyard still a frozen tundra? Ours is.


But guess what? I have neeews...T went back to work yesterday afternoon! It seems like he is recovering well after his minor surgery two weeks ago.


The girls and I drove him to work after naptime, and it was like dropping a child off on the first day of school, y'all. I told him to play nice and be sure not to run with scissors.


Looking for some good weekend reads? I've got some links from some of the best posts I found in Blogland this week!


~Amy's Sunny Spring Wreath had me wishing for warmer weather:


~Amazing, Awesome, Fabulous LOST t-shirts and merchandise. I am soooo getting this one:


~Pam's craft area is complete and utter fabulousness:


~I loved Julia's look back at a few of the homes in her Sleepless in Seattle post.


~Can't wait to bake and devour this recipe forChocolate Chip Cream Cheese Muffins from Southern Fried Dreams. Yum!


~If you visit Beth's Get Your Face On party you'll find all sorts of tips to beautify yourself for your next date night! It should be open for new posts until late tonight.






~If you haven't been reading about Paula's progress on her mom's new-old home, you're missing out! This old home is a real diamond in the rough, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.


~In the mood for a fun, fresh, and pretty Spring craft? Try Jen's Burlap Pennant Tutorial

All right, friends, I'm off! 

We have a coffee playdate this morning (Don't worry, I'm not serving coffee to the kids! I'm going to practice my hopefully improved espresso skills on my friend, Angela). Saturday night is the February Chick Flick Club night. I'll post a recap next week.

{What do you having going on this weekend?}

  1. You may be appalled to hear this, but I used to serve coffee to my kids. When my boys were little, flavored coffees were all the rage. We lived in Michigan at the time, and we drank a lot of coffee. . . and my boys loved it. I always gave them decaf back then, of course--didn't need them to be awake any more than they were naturally! But I'll never forget my two-year-old Preston coming down the stairs saying "Tan I have some detaf hazelnut?"

    Congratulations on making it through T's confinement! Now if he just won't run with scissors. :)

    Have a great weekend!

  3. My middle child loves coffee! I don't actually serve it to him, but he manages to sneak it out of our cups pretty frequently. He doesn't really care if it's flavored or not either.

  7. My Gram used to give me coffee with lots of milk when I was a kid. It might be just fine, but I'm taking no such chances. My kids aren't getting coffee till they are 21 (and no beer till they're 35?!) I hope Angela enjoys the new barista skills!

    I have no big plans for the weekend. I think I'll sit on the couch and let chaos reign while I recover from my little cold. (Like that's gonna happen...)

  10. My son used to drink coffee--just a tiny bit of coffee diluted with a lot of milk--until he realized that Daddy didn't drink coffee. After that he wanted to be like Daddy, so he stopped drinking coffee like Mommy. Of course, this was years and years ago.

    DH and I are celebrating our anniversary this weekend. No big plans yet.

  21. Thanks so much, Amanda!

    BTW- I have a friend who happens to be a peds nurse who said that if you suspect your child has ADD you can give them a little coffee (there's actually a proper dosage and you can give it as instant coffee mixed into a smoothie) and if your child does have ADD it will have the same effect as ridalin- focuses them rather than making them hyper. Wild, huh?

  22. OK - Now that I've read Pam's comment about coffee, I'm ready to buy a pot for school. I could calm down the hormone crazed boys with a little coffee. Mmmm....

    Enjoy your weekend! Chick Flik night always sounds like fun.

    Thanks for featuring Mama's house. I hope to get back up there soon to help her again.

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
