Five on Friday

Hi there! I'm back for Five on Friday. I wasn't able to blog much for this week since we spent our weekend in Oklahoma to see this guy get his PhD!



Congratulations to my little brother (in-law), Mark! We are crazy proud! Also, check out that handsome guy on the left!

It's also been a brutal week of standardized testing. 16 hours with just me and my thoughts...I might be going crazy and I definitely haven't been very nice. BUT...TGIF and standardized testing 2016 is OVER!

1. Mother's Day 2016



This just made my year. All the tears.

2. We are potty training...!



I'd post the precious photo of my baby girl "tinkling" in the potty for the first time but I try to keep her social media presence down and posting potty photos would definitely come back to haunt her some day. She's been asking to "potty" a lot lately so we took her interest and ran with it. #pottytrainedbysummer

3. Book Binge



It's pretty apparent that I've been on a children's book binge this week! All of these books showed up on my doorstep today (oops). I recently attended an Usborne online book party and purchased several of these books from them. I need some time but I'll post a review soon.

4. Clean House



We recently broke down and hired a monthly cleaning service. I can't even handle how much this has changed my life. It is worth every hard earned penny and Wednesday was the best day this week!

5. STAAR Week



This is the only good thing to come out of being locked up for 4+ straight hours. Now that's what I call active monitoring!! Boom!


                    Linking up with a few of my favs - April, Christina & Natasha!

Happy Friday! See you next week!
