5 on Friday... Been busy living

Summer is off to a great start for me and my crew, especially the wee one! We have had an exciting week, and it's only fitting that I share it with you!

 1- Favorite Experience: Our week kicked off on Sunday with us going Plum Crazy at the Kidz Bop Make Some Noise Tour at the cutest theater in the Triangle, The Carolina Theater. We had a great time with friends jamming to the vocal talent of the Kidz Bop Kids. Tamia and I dressed similarly and she loved it (Plum coordinates)! I secretly enjoyed the show just a bit too much, but I do love music!
           


Shop our Plum Crazy Look for Kidz Bop.  It will not break your budget!

2- Favorite Outing: On Monday, we ventured to Holly Springs to see the Holly Springs Salamanders take on the Wilmington Sharks, and boy did they "tame those Sharks"! The game was exciting and I even won an ACME Pizza for winning the "Who can be the loudest?" Who would've thought I could be so loud. The pizza was fabulous, and not to mention FREE, just how I like my pizza! We had an awesome time, and we will go again!






3- Favorite Deal- Regal Theater's Summer Movie Express! By now, the $1 movies are no secret, but I still have to make it my duty to share and remind every mother, sitter, and childcare provider about the Summer Movie Series. On Tuesday, we went to see the Nut Job for just $2! It was close to 100 degrees outside, but the theater was nice and cool and the popcorn was fresh. Grab your Regal Card and get a deal on the popcorn too! 


4- Favorite Meal! I'm truly a Slow Cooker fan especially when it is as hot as it is. So this week I made one of my family's favorites finger-licking good Baby Back Ribs. They are too easy not to cook, and they are delicious! I have nothing against grilling, but I gotta tell ya, Slow Cooking is much cooler!


Recipe

5- Favorite Image: Tamia is getting a hang of taking pictures. She took this one of her feet and the anklets she made earlier that day. I love her little feet! Baseball and bare feet = Summertime!

  
I hope you enjoyed the rundown of our week!

5 on Friday




What I Loved Most About This Week...

1. My Favorite Look: I went out to celebrate one of my favorite ladies for her birthday, and this was my outfit for the night. I love the white blazer (Target), my Steve Madden pumps (NordstromRack), and my pink clutch (Charming Charlie). 




2. My Favorite Find/Link www.shoes.com

Shoes.com has every style of shoe and 100's of brands you're looking for. Not only do they have free shipping and free returns, they have the PayMyWay option. So what that means for you is that you can pay for your shoes over the course of 3-12 months with your credit card. So my advice to you is to stock up on those sandals you've been eyeing in every color, and spread the payment.

Splendid Crete Sandal

3. Favorite Transformation Photos: 
Tamia got her hair done by a professional for the first time this week and WOW, what a difference. Thanks a million Toria of Hair Essentials for beautifying my princess!

Before: Wash and Go Hair


After: Shampoo and Blowout
4. Favorite Thought: I got this from my Oprah and Deepak 21-Day Meditation Experience, and it has really stuck with me. Got to love to be okay with being imperfect! Namaste.



5. Favorite Laugh:

I have loved  Sean Hayes since Will and Grace, and years later, he's still making me laugh. Get Ready for Trouble!




Well, I'm headed to Charlotte 49er Nation to visit my Big Girl! Can't wait to see her; we are so excited! What are your plans for the weekend?

First of all Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a wonderful week. 
I sure have had a wonderful week spending time with my sweet Tamia and just enjoying the little things that life has to offer! 

 Here are my 5 on Friday! I hope you enjoy them!



1. Favorite pic representing #AKA1908 love. 
I've been a Pink and Green Rule Breaker since 1993 when I became a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. The pink and green combo has become a phenomena, and it just keeps getting better because guess what... Lilly is coming to Target| launch date 04.19.15! Pink and green for life! 
See for yourself!

#2 Fave Food: Duck Donuts: an experience so nice, I had to blog about 'em twice!
Check out Yes I Can Monday!



#3 Favorite FB Game: Hello my name is Trixy Sprinkles Bunny Hop. 
What's your name?
