Friday Happies

Happy Friday!  I hope you've had a great week. I loved a post that I saw last week called Friday Happies.  I'm going to copy that for my Friday highlights this week.  These are all the things that made me happy this week.

Embroidered Sign //

I picked up this sweet Home Sweet Home sign at Walmart recently.  It's Pioneer Woman and it was under $5.  It looks great in my kitchen.

Poke A Dot Books //

Two different people gave Leo these fun Poke-A-Dot books from Melissa and Doug for his first birthday.  Have you seen them yet??  They are great for little hands.  The books are filled with these fun dots to push in and out throughout the book.  Leo is one and he LOVES them.  He can turn the board book pages by himself and pop his way through the book.  Even my older kids love them - everyone wants a turn to pop the dots and read the stories.  We bought a few more to give to friends for a birthday party this weekend.  The books are Melissa and Doug are so cute and they come in tons of themes.  We got The Wheels on the Bus, the ocean book, a color book and first words.  I'll put my Amazon affiliate links here if you want to check them out.

 

 #5 Jug // 

My dad has been collecting pottery forever.  He has a big collection so I asked him to look out for something with a #5 on it for me.  He sent me a picture of this jug and I knew it would be perfect.  I love 5 - 5 people in our family and it seems happy next to my Aldi aloe plant.  Tip: The plants at Aldi are super affordable and great quality.  I've purchased several and have been happy with them.

Hello Spring Charcuterie Boxes // 

I listed Hello Spring boxes on Jordan Bakery Box on Facebook and IG and will be building them for friends and local people this weekend.  The boys helped me shop for supplies this week.  Aren't these tiny charcuterie boards so sweet!?!?  You can follow me @jordanbakerybox on IG and Jordan Bakery Box on Facebook to watch for my next sales.

Leo Turned ONE //

We got to celebrate with family over the weekend.  His Wild One jungle party came together perfectly!

Picnic & Planes

We met some friends at our local airport for a picnic and to watch the planes come and go.  Culvers was delicious and it was neat to see the C-47 plane that led the invasion on D-Day.  You could buy tickets to take a flight on the plane and it flew over our house several times.

12 Month Well Check //

Leo got a great report at his 12 month well check.  He loves this crinkle paper!

Swimming Lessons //

We are wrapping up our session of swimming lessons.  The kids did great and learned a lot!

Penny & Pearl //

They are the sweetest sisters!  I've said this many times, but if you ever have the chance to adopt siblings as pets, do it!  They love each other so much.  I'm so glad the kids talked me into getting two kittens instead of just one.

Spring Flowers //

We've been keeping a close eye on all the Spring flowers in our yard, our neighborhood and watching the bees.  I picked up a flat of Lantana (the most perfect sun loving plant ever!!) It thrives in the full sun, hot heat and the plants get HUGE with flowers well into Fall.  I can't recommend them enough.  I planted 8 across the front gardens at our house with the help of the kids this week.

 

What a fun week!  We've got several projects we are hoping to tackle this weekend - building a new patio table set, putting together a water table, planting and some fun with friends.  It should be a fun weekend at home for us :)
