Weekend Lovelies

The Best advice from Glitter Inc.

:: Weekend Lovelies ::

Welcome to a much needed edition of Weekend Lovelies! Wow I don’t know about you, but I simply can not add one more to-do to the ongoing list of life.  Are we all on the same page with the end of the school year near? I feel like life seems to pack it all in at the end.  I am trying to have a little faith like the above noted lovely piece of advice from Glitter Inc.  I will have faith, and if not I will find a way to celebrate life and another year of health and happiness with my upcoming birthday! I will make it to next Saturday! Sara and I are excited to take in these life moments and all it’s celebrations next week.  Sara will be celebrating Seth’s 8th birthday, a much needed family trip, and Father’s Day.  I will be busy enjoying (I think) school field trips, a recital, my birthday, and Father’s Day. That being said we will be taking the week off from Simply.  We hope you all stay tuned and catch up on some of our posts you may have missed along the way.  We will be returning after next week.  Here were some of our posts from this week: Cheesy Tamale Pie and Mason Jar Succulents.  We hope you all take in these last school moments and enjoy the weekend.  Summer we can’t wait for you to greet us!

  1. Entertaining and hilarious, this epic drum off between Will Ferrell and Chad Smith is one to watch.

Mother's Day Poem

:: Weekend Lovelies ::

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend, friends! Welcome to this edition of Weekend Lovelies dedicated to whom else?!?….Mom! We are sharing with you the “My Handprint Poem.” I received my first one of these poems 4 years ago when Mason was in preschool.  It really touched me; in fact I kept the poem and handprint hanging for some time on a bulletin board in my closet so that I could see it every morning.  It was a lovely reminder that our little ones are only little for so long.  The days may be long, more often than not, but the years are short.  Yes the house is a mess, the kids are fighting, but they are oh so cute! I know that Sara and I will look back years from now and reminisce about these days.  We would like to wish you all a lovely Mother’s Day! {A Happy Mother’s Day, as well, to our Moms, Step-Moms, Grandmothers, and Mother-in-Laws!} We hope you all get a little time to relax and enjoy this special day! 

  1. Shopping, yes please!! We love a good outfit from Reverie The Shop.  Better yet we love a good discount too, Reverie is offering free shipping and a free tote for orders $100 or more. Promo Code-Simply Happenstance.
  2. Pink, pink, and more pink….I don’t think our husbands will go for these pretty Pink Kitchens, but we love them.
  3. Mommy loves flowers, but plants are always a good gift.  This DIY Hanging Planter is a must make.
  4. Are your kids scared of the dark? These Casita Night Lights are perfect for taming their night fears, and they are lovely too!
  5. A good margarita is a must, but as a Skinny Margarita Popsicle? Can’t wait to make these for those long hot summer days.
  6. We are thinking of putting in a fire pit, this fire bowl looks perfect for backyard entertaining.
  7. Still need cute Teacher Appreciation ideas? Loving these Teacher Appreciation Tags from River and Bridge.
  8. A Mother’s Day Brunch is all we need on this special day….hint hint.
