Friday Highlights 2016 V8

Happy Fri-Yay!
What a week we've had! It felt like we partied all weekend long (because we did) and come Monday I was wiped out. The rest of the week felt like recovery mode but it was pretty busy too. Needless to say, I feel more than ready for the weekend and thanks to a surprise it should be full of fun and relaxation. More on that later.
Here are this weeks Friday 5!
{ONE} Blog Highlights 

This week on the blog I shared...
My newest recipe creation for Vegan Coconut Shortbread Cookies. I co-hosted the fist $10 at Target Link-up. I wished our Emily Elizabeth a Happy 5th birthday. Shared my favorite blueberry muffin recipe. Interviewed Russ for 'The Guy Behind The Blog'.
{TWO} Last Weekends Highlights
 I ran out of "blogging days" this week, so I thought I would throw a little last weekend recap in here.
Friday We spent most of the day with our dear friends.

Saturday Saturday was spent celebrating Emily, ALL day long.

Sunday Sunday was Emily's actual birthday and the Daytona 500 which is also a holiday in our family.
*Note how the husband redecorates the living room just for the occasion. 

{THREE} Mommylogues

This week I guest posted in my dear friend Whitney's Mommylogues series. I shared about where I am in my current stage of motherhood and how I feel about where we are.  Your can read my post HERE.
Make sure you leave Whitney lots of love while you are there. She's the best!

{FOUR} Surprise Night Away

Guess who gets to spend tomorrow at a "swanky" casino?!

Okay, so that sounds kind of weird. But it's true!

The husband told me he had to work on Saturday, but surprised me with a night away too. On Saturday we are heading out to the Joplin Home Show where he will work a 5 hour slot then we get to hang out, do whatever we want and stay there that night, for free.

Sounds like a win to me!

I mean how often do you get to stay at a hotel 15 minutes from your house?!

I'll make sure to post a weekend recap on Monday!
