After a rather sad post earlier this week, I wanted to end the week with some happy stuff. My week turned a corner on Wednesday thanks to lots of laughs with my family and good conversations with friends. And I did have a great night out with my friend, Anna. It’s so nice to have friends in the same stage of life as you.
But here’s some stuff I’m loving this week!
1. There a new bakery in town (technically it’s in Forest Acres) called Ally & Eloise. I had heard great things from my friend Crist, so I stopped in yesterday to visit the bakery, meet Ally, and ask her about doing some goodies for Hayes’s birthday party. I ended up picking up a few little sweets to bring home. Ally makes the best cream cheese frosting I have ever tasted. And I had a delicious “chocolatti” cookie. I could have eaten 20 of them.
By the way, Eloise is Ally’s adorable French Bulldog. So cute!
2. I received this color block tank from Piperlime yesterday and I am so excited about it! I love the colors and can’t wait to wear it with white jeans.
3. We’re still loving our Keurig. One of my favorite times during the day is just when I’m able to read and sip a cup of Starbucks Breakfast Blend. I like my coffee really strong and this blend is absolute perfection. In the morning, I usually have to drink my coffee on the go when I’m taking Hudson to school. Bu I like to sneak in a second cup in the afternoon.
4. Hudson doesn’t have school on Fridays and we typically try to keep an open calendar on Fridays. He’ll have school 5 days per week in the fall, but I love our Friday pajama parties. The boys play and watch Sesame Street or Baby Einstein. It’s just nice to have at least one day where none of us are rushing around to get somewhere. We’ve stopped going to The Little Gym because it was just too much to have something extra on Fridays. But I love our Friday mornings of bed head and pajamas.
(And Hudson did color on his face with dry erase marker.)
5. Our doc band clinic is opening up a new satellite office very close to us! I am so excited that Hayes can still receive the best care but we won’t have to make the long(ish) drive to Charlotte every time. We’ll still go to Charlotte for scans, but our same therapist will be coming down here for his regular check ups. I guess there are a lot of patients in our area! I’m very excited about this!
6. Is there anything that says “summer” quite like a Drumstick? Yum. The best part is obviously the very tip of the cone that has all the chocolate in it. Love!
7. I received some gorgeous “thank you” flowers from my friend Lulu this week and I just love them! They have brightened up our family room so much and I love being reminded of her friendship every time I look at them.
8. Finally, have y’all checked out Bridier Baubles? I absolutely love all of their stuff. You can’t beat the price for such stylish jewelry. I have my eye on about 15 different things. Aren’t these cluster earrings just so great? Be sure to “like” Bridier Baubles on Facebook.
And speaking of Facebook, Blue-Eyed Bride is finally on Facebook. I know, I resisted it for long enough. But I would love it if you all would “like” Blue-Eyed Bride on Facebook!
I might “happen” to pop in Ally & Eloise today. Not that I’ll get much argument from Matt…
I love that tank. Did you see the cute colorblock dress on the blue door boutique a couple weeks back? It sold out in a heartbeat, but I loved it!
Your flowers are georgous. One of my favorite things to have in my house is fresh flowers. I always feel like it classes up the joint! 🙂
I love the tank! Where do you get your white jeans? I need some, and I can’t decide where to get them from…they kind of scare me to be honest! 🙂 But I want to wear them so badly!!
I’m so excited to try out Ally & Eloise! 😀 I think we may go there tonight after eating at that new restaurant, Cafe Caturra. Both sound amazing! Have a great weekend Erin!
Happy Friday to you! Seriously, you can’t beat a Drumstick! That tank top is super cute. Hope you’re enjoying your Friday already!
Happy, Happy Friday! This post has me smiling ear-to-ear.
Yay! The Tinley Road colorblock tank! Mine was on backorder forever and I just received a notification the other day that it shipped. Can’t wait to wear it!
I was a long time loyal of Drumsticks, but last summer I tried the Magnum bars and I have to admit, they are so much better!
Your Friday mornings sound great!
Love the flowers! I think a house is always a little cheerier with flowers especially ones as pretty as yours.
Love this cheery post!! Love the colors in the tank, the beautiful flowers, and Drumsticks! Yum! I love the ones that have caramel in them also! So delish!
I don’t know what I would do without my Kuerig! Ours broke last week and we got a new one the next day!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Ah, you make me want a Keurig that much more… I am so lazy when it comes to our coffee maker + I always screw up my coffee-to-water ratio and make it either undrinkably strong or slightly discolored water. A Keurig would be the perfect solution. Would it make a weird Mother’s Day gift “from” my husband? Hmmm… happy weekend!
That top will look so cute on you with your blond hair and blue eyes. Love it!
And the chocolate in the tip of the Drumstick? Best part! Happy Friday to you!
This makes me want a Keurig very, very badly!
We love bedhead and pajama party mornings as well. 🙂 That jewelry is beautiful – thanks for sharing the site!
Yay! Such a happy post. I have ‘liked’ you on fb as well 🙂
how awesome about the satellite office! lots of happy and colorful and yummy news today. have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
Love this post. I’m a strong coffee girl myself, and I love that I can have Starbucks every morning with my Keurig. I also understand the need for a satellite office except ours is for our Pediatric ENT. We’ve been with him for so many years, and thankfully, he comes to our pediatricians office every month so we can do our check ups there and avoid a longish drive. And yes, the best part of the Drumstick is the chocolate in the bottom of the cone. 🙂
Erin! I LOVE that mug! My name is Emily so I really want one haha. Where did you get it? Could you email me or tweet at me?! Thanks!!
Love you friend 🙂
