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!

Friday Link Party and Maybe More

What a day so far. I woke up this morning not feeling qualified to be a mom. On top of that I'm feeling very emotional for some reason. I went to MOPS which is always helpful and now both girls are sleeping. I'm hoping that by the time they wake up I will have snapped out of this mom funk and back to my normal awesomeness!

So yesterday I added a button you all can click on to follow me on Pinterest. Today I added a button you can push if you want to pin something from my page! It's over there on the right! Give it a try some time! I plan on doing some fun crafts with Gibbie (and eventually Squish) in the next few months and I'll share everything I do so that you can pin what you like!

Here's a few links for your weekend:

Have you heard of Ipsy? It's a monthly makeup subscription service ans it's a lot of fun! For only $10 a month you get a cute makeup bag and 5 products.

I've never actually watched a full episode of How I Met Your Mother but I am obsessed with Friends.

Someday I will go to Germany. I will definitely have to keep these tips in mind when I finally get there.

This is too cute. I want to go with this dog tomorrow too!

I accidentally wasted an hour playing this game. Ooops!

Excitement and Thankfulness

I'm super excited because I've added a Pinterest button to my page! Look over to the right, just above that add, and click on the link to go check out my Pinterst page! I update it regularly and I'm always looking for other pages to follow. If you'd like me to check out your page as well leave a comment with the link and I definitely will!

I'm always thankful for my girls. They keep me up at night, they drive me crazy, they test my patience on an hourly basis but I never knew I could love so deeply until they came into my life.

I'm also extremely thankful for Chuy's Tex Mex! Two days ago I found out we were getting one in town and I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry a little at the news. I first went there about 10 years ago in Austin and I ate Campfire Enchiladas (which isn't a regular menu item but a special at the time). It's my all time favorite restaurant! I go anytime I'm in a  city with one which usually means that my best friend has no choice but to take me there when I visit San Antonio! Now, we're getting one, and I can't believe how lucky we are as a city!!! I know, I'm being very dramatic about food, but I love this place so much!

Finally, I'm thankful for crochet. I don't get to do it as much as I used to and I'm definitely not very good at it but it's such a relaxing thing to do. I'm currently in the middle of a blanket and I'm about to restart a rug made from t-shirt material. I've started and restarted the rug twice already and I'm determined to get it right!

What are you thankful for?

Friday Link Party!

Oh what a day! After MOPS (where the picture above was taken), Gibbie had a total meltdown. It wasn't the best day but we got to see Aunt E and Aunt M which was awesome. I'm so glad it's Friday night, both girls are in bed, and I'm having a beer and watching Airplane. Can you believe I've never seen this movie?!

Have some links!

I'm back on social media so if you'd like to follow me on Instagram, Pinterest, or Tumblr please do!

Add this to the things I can definitely agree with!

I am so in love with this song and it's not really the kind of music I typically listen to. I can't stop listening to it!

I love looking at vintage wedding photos and wondering where these people are now.

The Hubs bought me an awesome Sriracha t-shirt from Urban Outfitters in Las Vegas a few months ago. I need all of these to match it!

Have a great weekend!

Saturday Link Party

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?
