High Five for Friday

Well we have officially made it through the holidays and are working our way back into a routine. Maybe by next week we’ll be back on track! Yesterday was my son’s first day back to school and while I was out running errands they ended up dismissing school early due to the snow. Thank goodness for a patient son and wonderful teachers who waited until I arrived at the normal pick-up time. Mom-fail #1 of the year!

The rest of my week looked like this:

  1. My beautiful girlfriend, new mom, and hostess of a lovely New Years Eve party. She’s holding a tray of champagne jello shots that I could have run away with!
  2. The differences between my son and daughter fascinate me. My son still hates putting his own shoes on, but if you walk in our door my daughter will be sure to prance around in any and all shoes that are left by our door!
  3. Ice skating with this handsome dude. He whimpers the entire time he’s on the ice yet he can’t wait to get back out each time.
  4. Trader Joe’s feels like our second home. Thankfully Madelyn typically enjoys our multiple trips in there!
  5. Anyone else entering daily to win the HGTV Dream Home? I plan on winning this year, so it may be a waste of your time anyway ;)

 Linking up with The Lauren Elizabeth for High Five for Friday

You may remember that I found this lovely scarf when I was in NYC last month. It’s turning out to be a favorite accessory of mine during these cold winter months. This one is sold out online, but there are other options here and here .

My sister managed to talk me out of purchasing this sweater at LOFT when we were shopping one afternoon only so that she could buy it for me herself. Apparently I’m difficult to buy for?!

Between my mother and husband I managed to make out with two Kate Spade bags in December. One was a surprise birthday gift and the other I happened to know about but my wardrobe was happy to accept regardless.

To my surprise, my husband is enjoying playing around with our new camera. We’re still practicing but it’s turning out that he may have yet another talent hidden up his sleeve. Thanks for vamping up my blog, my love!
