{five on friday}

Happy Friday, y'all! I've taken a little break from blogging over the past week and a half, but was excited to get back for today's link-up! Such a fun series! I love getting to read other's "top 5" for the week as well as meet new bloggers!

We had such a fun 4th of July, I had to share some of our pics! Ella was in her first little parade {I was quite proud of our little wagon, if I do say so myself}! E and her little friend had a fun time waving at the other kiddos and throwing out candy...oh wait, not my child, she ate 4 suckers by the time we were finished with the parade! Oh well...a day of celebrating = a day full of sweets and treats! ;) Later in the evening, we ventured down the street to celebrate with friends. I made these red white and blue fruit skewers with cheesecake yogurt dip! They were delish! You can find the recipe here. I didn't go all out decorating our home this year {which I normally LOVE to do}, but I did manage to set the table with some festive red, white and blue goodies {thank you, Target}! We ended the night with fireworks....E loved every single one!

If you know me, you know I have a major sweet tooth, no really, it's a problem! You name it, I love it...but I'm especially a fan of all things chocolate and donuts! If I could only start my morning out with coffee and donuts EVERY morning....ahhh, bliss, but then my hubby would hear me complain even more about "my looks"! I know, I know, I do it to myself! Am I the only one out there?!?! All that to say, Dunkin Donuts is opening up right around the corner from us!!! How dare I not show support for our neighborhood's newest business, right?!?

How cute are these seersucker backpacks?!?! I just got Ella's in the mail the other day {pink with a navy monogram}! Sooooo cute! I bought ours from this ETSY store. They did a wonderful job! Highly recommend!

If you follow me on Instagram, you saw this picture a couple of weeks ago, but I still wanted to share! I finished Ella's IKEA activity table for her room and was SO very pleased! She has had more fun with the chalk table. I'm about to buy a second one for the playroom! You can't beat that $14.99 price tag!

I have been on a hunt to find anything and everything to help with polish chipping! It never fails, I paint my nails and the next day, they look as if it were a week old manicure! Grrr.....This is what was recommended to me, so here's to hoping!! I can't give an accurate product review as I used this for the first time yesterday, but a review is in order!

 

Thanks for stopping by today! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!!!
