Friday Link Party

Happy Friday! I'm really excited about this weekend. Tomorrow is date night! Above is a (not so great self taken) picture from our last date night which was on my birthday. I'm super excited to be trying a new-ish sushi place that opened when I was pregnant and a new bar that has old school arcade games. What are you plans for the weekend?

Here are some links to hold you over. I've thrown in a few to Mother's Day gift ideas since it's just a few weeks away:

I love Etsy. I especially love all of the cute and quirky cards you can find on there. Here's some Mother's Day cards to check out!

If you're crafty and you're looking to make your mom (or your kids' mom) something special try these awesome DIY photo magnets!

I found this on a list of things lazy people need and I definitely think it's something that I would use.

Does the mom in your life seem to already have everything? I just know you can find something for her at Uncommon Goods.

I've seen many Pixar Theories but this one blows the rest away!

Words are awesome. Words are my favorite. These words had me rolling and The Hubs rolling his eyes!

I love using Pinterest! This was my most popular pin from last week!

Have a great weekend!

Saturday Link Casual Get Together

Thursday I wrote a beautiful Thankful Thursday post and posted it and shared it with Facebook/Tumblr/Twitter/Google +/Pinterest and then I deleted it because I'm clumsy. Just take my word for it, it was beautiful.

Anyway, through the grace of God I'm out of my emotional/spiritual funk and I'm ready to roll. I'm going to be busy with my family this weekend so I'll just leave some fun links for you here and see you on Monday.

This is absolutely terrifying.

Only have one means I can't tell you if this is true or not but I now that all of the "1st baby" stuff was true with Gibbie.

Yet another Etsy shop that I'm in love with.

If I ever make it to New York I'll hopefully remember these tips.

It's been so long since I've blogged regularly so I can't remember if I already posted this link but I love these return address stamps so much that I'll risk reposting it.

I love this guy's blog. I also love how non parents think they are going to be the world's greatest parents when they have kids. I read something online the other day that said, "I used to be an expert on parenting and then I had kids."

Finally, something all moms need to remember.

Currently Gibbie and I are watching The Wizard of Oz. She's never seen it before today and she is in love. We have both witch toys from Happy Meals and she's so excited about seeing them on the screen. I might take her for another Happy Meal when it's over and see what toy we get next!

Enjoy an old picture of Gibbie:

Gibbie is so tall these days!

I'll be back on the blog on Monday but for now here's some awesome links to get you through the weekend.

Yummy recipes and absolutely hilarious!

Why do the things I like have to be expensive?

I think the older I get the more eccentric I get and I love everything in this Etsy shop.

I just ordered this dress in a size 14. It's been a very long time since I could wear a 14!

I really want a denim jacket this fall/winter.

This will make everything OK.

And finally, the greatest craft tutorial in the history of crafts!

What are you doing this weekend?

Gibbie and Papa at Avila's

We're gearing up for the weekend and I like to take this time to hang out with my family and not blog it up. Here's some links to keep you busy until I get back.

- One of my favorite blogs. I read it religiously. She has two beautiful little boys (one is brand new) and lives in New York.

- I have a lot on my Pinterest and I try my best to not get addicted. I fail. I'm so addicted.

- I don't consider Tumblr a "real" blog but I do consider it a lot of fun. I've wasted many hours on this site and I still post on it random blurbs and funny things so if you'd like please feel free to follow me.

- I have a tendency to like expensive things. It's never on purpose! I just like quality merch and this is some fine quality merch my friends. I want this camera. I actually wouldn't mine having any decent camera so I wouldn't have to constantly take pictures with my iPhone but this one would be quite awesome.

- Have you heard of Bountiful Baskets? If they have a pick up location in your area I highly recommend you try it just once. I'm addicted to this service. You pay a small fee (compared to how much you'd spend in a grocery store) and you get a lot of fruits and veggies. You can also do add-ons such as whole grain bread, a special themed veggie pack (tropical, Italian, Mexican, etc), and you can choose to get an entirely organic basket.

- Bookshelf Porn. Seriously. Just look at all of these pictures. I want a built in bookshelf so bad I might "accidentally" take a hammer to the wall so we'd have to fix it and while we're fixing it we might as well throw in some bookshelves.

- Such a cute idea to do something with all of those scribbled on papers laying around. Yeah, just admit it, I know I'm not the only one with stacks of papers with scribbles everywhere.

- I love kitsch and this Etsy shop has it!

A repair man should be here any minute to take a look at our water damage and my father-in-law is coming to translate for us (we should really learn Spanish). Later, Gibbie and I are going to a birthday party for a one year old girl. I'm possibly going to a housewarming party tonight if I still have energy left over  and tomorrow we're hanging out with my in-laws.

What does your weekend look like?
