Today's Friday Favorites is featuring a fast five. Hang on to your pants, here we go!
1. After a month of spending a lot of time in my home (I went a whole week, from Christmas Eve until New Year's Eve, without leaving my home ONCE) with my family (which I loved, except for the sick days) I'm back to connecting with friends and having some new adventures. Just this week we had dinner with old friends of my husband and their kids; I took my daughter to watch my grandma and grandpa square dance; I hung out with a friend and watched "Funny Face" (I love classics and that's one I'd never seen...I just adore Audrey); tonight I'm going out to dinner with another friend; tomorrow I'm giving a presentation on social media and later meeting some blogger friends for karaoke...whew!
2. Living in Minnesota has its pros and cons and the deep freeze we were in until recently is certainly a con. I don't mind cold weather and snow (I am a born and raised Minnesotan) but those bone-chilling, -40 degree windchill days is a bit much. However, a perk to those days is when the temp starts to climb it feels downright tropical. Who would have though 20 degrees could feel so warm? And then 30? And...gasp!...almost 40 tomorrow? I think that's shorts weather, right?
3. E has started swim lessons and I love seeing her develop an even deeper love of the water and confidence. Especially considering number 4...
4. I am currently planning...well, maybe counting down is a better way to put it...our family trip to Florida. My husband's parents rent a condo each February in Ft. Myers and we are joining them for a week. The last time we visited them in Florida was back in 2009, pre-kids. They have a nice pool and are right on the beach; I'm so excited for the kids to have this experience. Plus, as the big baseball fans my husband and I are (did you know prior to kids we would take trips to see the Twins play in different stadiums?), we loved going to spring training last time and will do so again. I really can't wait...I don't even think the airplane ride with the kids will be that horrible (or is that just wishful thinking?).
5. Finally, I'm super-extra-can't wait excited for my post on Monday. It's something I've wanted to write forever and I finally am. Plus, it's dedicated to a couple of very special people. I'm still working on it and can't wait to share it with all of you. A labor of love.
There you have it, a fast five round-up of my favorite happenings. Share your favorite current activity/event/anything in the comments and let's make this the happiest of Fridays, friends!
