So I've totally been slacking on my 5 recently. The days seem to fly by and Friday sneaks up so quickly leaving me unprepared to write my post! And I have to admit, I don't think I'll be able to keep up with this amazing link-up once Caroline arrives so I really want to have fun with these last few weeks before I take a short break.
Before we get started, I wanted to first give a huge CONGRATULATIONS shout out to my friend and fellow 5 on Friday host, Natasha on launching her new business, Sugar Bit, an online children's boutique for newborns through 4-year olds. Make sure to visit her website and follow Sugar Bit on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook!
- ONE - I've kept my spring decor pretty minimal this year since there's a chance it may stay up through summertime with a newborn on my hands. For my entry way table I put moss and eggs in apothecary jars...
And I threw some fun Easter twigs in my potted fern in the kitchen.
- TWO - I'm on a mission to get as many mani/pedi's as possible these last 5 weeks before Caroline arrives. My poor ankles and feet really deserve it, plus the massage chairs at the nail salons are seriously magical for my lower back pains so I get a lot of bang for my buck. Anyway, I can't get over how much I love the new OPI color, Lucky, Lucky, Lavender. It's the perfect spring pink with a touch of lavender.
- THREE - I am so over being pale. In fact, I've never been this pale (or large) in my life! I did recently get spray tans for my baby shower and maternity pictures, but I can't afford to do that every week so I'm starting up my fake bake routine (with the doctor's approval) to get some color in my life. I have a few Tan Towels I need to use up, but what I'm really excited about is the bottle of TanWise that is en route to my house (thank you Amazon Prime). After reading Maskara's review {here} I decided to purchase a bottle and see how it goes. Stay tuned!
- FOUR - My new favorite way to cook fresh green beans! All you have to do sprinkle some Good Seasons Zesty Italian salad dressing mix on top of your beans, add some melted butter and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. I served these with our spaghetti dinner earlier this week and was very pleased with how they turned out!
- FIVE - This weekend we have another baby shower, hosted by Matt's sweet mom and sister! Matt has a huge family so it's going to be quite the reunion party with lots of his family traveling into town to shower Caroline and squeeze in some golf.
