I don’t know about you, but I am not sad to see February come to an end. We can see that beautiful spring light at the end of the tunnel. Here in California, our Bradford pear trees have already bloomed. Spring just makes me happy, and therefore the last Friday favorites of February also make me happy. HA!
Of course I don’t have to tell you why this is the very first favorite of the week. This was Tuesday night before I left on Wednesday morning. I love these three and every single minute I get to spend with them.
I did a little more decorating in Katie’s apartment while I was visiting. This table had been neglected, and needed some love. I added a large glass jar, picture frame and faux plant (that looks very real). I think it turned out really cute.
Blurry picture, but yummy almonds. Almonds are a great snack, especially for people who are living a low carb lifestyle. I really like these Marcona almonds. They are more tender than regular almonds, and the roasted salted taste is delicious. They’re wonderful on their own, but ironically I had a salad while I was in Nashville that had them on it, and I will definitely be using them like that in the near future.
Last year I saw these at Costco, and didn’t grab one right away. Well this year, I didn’t let that happen. I bought one the weekend before I left for Nashville.
Kent sent me this picture Monday of them. I’m surprised how quickly they bloomed. They are so beautiful and once they finish blooming, I’ll put the bulbs out in one of the flower beds.
Some of my favorite comfy clothes come from Aerie. This is the new spring sweatshirt. It’s a great weight for spring, and the material is a fun corded texture. Goes perfectly with jeans now, and shorts later. (currently on sale for 30% off) OH and I’m still loving my new sneakers. I wore them a lot while I was on my trip.
As long as we’re talking about Aerie, how about this sweater?! I am in love. This is just like the sweatshirts I’ve been wearing all winter and L O V I N G, but in sweater form. It’s just the softest knit. You might feel like you’re wearing a baby blanket. It comes in 5 other colors, and as of last night they were 30% off. Sweaters like this are exactly what I like to wear as spring approaches. They’re warm, but not too warm, and the length makes it legging appropriate. #majorscore I plan to wear mine with these leggings.
EEEKKKK!!! I am all kinds of excited about these new snakeskin mules. Are they cute or what?! I wore them all day yesterday at bible study, and they were super comfortable. They have 1″ heel, so they are a smidge dressier than a flat-flat, but still casual. These come in 3 snakeskin prints and 3 solids, and now I want another pair. If you’ve been thinking about adding snakeskin to your closet, these are a really great option.

I am so glad that you enjoyed your trip to Nashvega$ and that you got to see those beautiful (and handsome!) kids! I know Katie especially enjoyed having her mom! Those tulips are absolutely beautiful and you know how much I love Aerie, too, but no sweatshirts in the spring time here in Louisiana! That would never do! If only it would stop raining, we may actually see Spring ourselves! Have a great weekend, Lisa!
Y'all are having the same weather as Nashville. Everything here is turning brown again. We are having the driest Feb on record. Crazy!!! XOXO
The tulips are so pretty! I love that you go visit your kiddos so often! Gives me hope for when mine go off to college in just a few short years!
Such a sweet pic of you and your loves! I love what you did with Katie's apartment - that plant does look real! I cannot control myself around almonds - they are sooooo good. Also so good? All your comfy cozy tops from Aerie and those new mules!
Love ya friend!!
xo,

The only one I took all week. Loving my new sweater and mules!!! XO
Those tulips are so beautiful! It makes me smile great big to see your great big smile with your precious crew! Good luck today, save me a cookie, LOL! Love you friend!
I wish I could run a cookie over to you!!! XOXO
I love the little details you added to your daughter's apartment! Those tulips are so pretty! I love those Aerie sweaters! They are so comfy!

Thanks Jill! I love making it more cozy for her. Aerie has the best things! XO
The tulips are so pretty! I love that you go visit your kiddos so often! Gives me hope for when mine go off to college in just a few short years!
Aw, I'm so happy it gives you hope. Visiting them is the best. XO
The tulips are pretty amazing, how nice to come home to! The sweatshirt looks amazing, I forget to check out Aerie.
Once you start shopping Aerie, you can't stop. LOL Happy weekend! XO
I saw a jar of tulips similar to that at Trader Joe's and almost got it. I love that burlap bow you added to it and what a great idea to add it to your yard once they finish blooming. I am one that is not a huge almonds fan, but I do make myself eat them on low carb day. I need to try these pronto! And, you seriously get the best mom award... decorating that end table for her! So sweet! I hope to do little things like that when Autumn gets older.

Oh I bet that's a good place to look for them! These almonds are much better than regular. Give them a try. I'm sure you'll be doing the same for your girl when the time comes. I just keep buying and figuring it'll all go in her own house someday. XO
How fabulous to have pears!! We have oranges and grapefruit and absolutely love it.
Those mules are adorable!!
XOOX

I had to go back and read to figure out what you meant. LOL. Sadly, they are ornamental pear trees that don't bear fruit. It would be awesome if they did. Happy weekend!!! XOXO
I got one of those at Costco last year! Hopefully I can snag one this year too. I can't wait to see mine bloom outside in a few months. Love the table decor you arranged on Katie's side table!
Thanks friend! Yep, I looked or another one of the tulip things this week and they were all gone. Womp-womp. I'll check our other Costco today! XO
