Whew! it's been a busy two weeks around our casa, and I have so much to share! After I'm write this post up, I'll be working on several posts for next week and beyond, ya know things that are currently happening around here and I didn't have time to blog about. Back in April I decided I wanted to start sharing a quick week recap of the weeks events, so I don't forget the small special (and not so special) moments that happened during our week. Well this week I'm sharing two weeks full of what's been going on around our Casa including sneak peeks at projects that we are working on and life.
The whole family pitched in doing yard work, Avery supervised. I love putting this small gently used travel play pen in our yard while I'm doing yard work, it makes yard work more fun and Avery loves watching. When he's two, I'll have to my buy a kiddie tool set :)
Tabari is officially a middle schooler, deep sighs and holding in my tears my munchkin is growing up into this handsome creative independent caring responsible (very) young man. He makes me so proud.
Adding string to the banners for Avery's first birthday, too many emotions for this momma so many milestones this week. His birthday party is on Saturday! I will share all the deets next week. Love that Hasani can multi-task while helping, lol
Time to say good buy to this oh-so-not-us fabric on our vintage outdoor sofa (well sofa we are transforming into an outdoor one!)
Saying good bye also happened this week. My BFF moved across the pond permanently to England to start her new married life with her husband! So lots of tears, the past few weeks { happy, sad & nostalgic } Once she gets settled in, she promises to give is a virtually house tour of her new home, its an amazing cottage in the English countryside. I'm visiting her there next year!
I just discovered the show Felicity on Netflix Instant. Loved Season 1, I'm trying my best to get though Season 2, maybe her haircut is distracting me? lol Crazy when the show was on the air, I never watched. I love discovered new to me TV :) Thanks Netflix! And nope, I wasn't paid to say that, although if they are asking, I would so want to have that conversation with them! lol
I've made yummy vanilla whipped cream frosting, love the pretty peaks my mixer makes.
Labels, I've made lots of pretty cute labels for Avery's birthday party. Here's how the drink labels looked. I made them using Publisher. Again, I'll share all the deets next week :)
So that's what's been happening around our house, lots of me getting emotional because my boys are getting bigger. Lots of yard work, birthday projects, sewing and more.
How was your week? Did you watch the show Felicity? Any old shows, I should check out?
Wow, you have been busy! Excited to see the projects that you have been working on!
ReplyDeleteYou and your family are very busy bees! Yard work is hard but so rewarding. I love a good frosting too :) My favorite old show is The Practice with Dylan McDermott and gang I could watch it over and over again. Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteYou are one busy mama! Congrats to Tabari and Happy Birthday to Avery!
ReplyDeleteWhoa - sounds like things have been busy for you, and quite the ride. Babies grow up too fast, don't they! Can't wait to see details of the party.... I'm in the midst of planning halle's at the moment! I shall be ordering her invites, that I made on Shutterfly, at some point today!
ReplyDeleteWowser...gosh, no rest for the wicked! Hope everything is coming along beautifully, loving the bunting for Avery's bday and that frosting looks so dip-your-finger-in tasty! How exciting that your BFF has moved to England, it really is lovely and I think I take for granted just how quintessential it all is - especially this weekend for the Queen's jubilee! We're having a street party on our street in London and hubby and I are baking scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam to partake in the festivities! Your BFF is going to love it (well, maybe not the winter so much!), so quaint! Happy birthday to your very cute son on his first birthday!
ReplyDeleteI KNEW I loved you from the moment I first stumbled upon your blog. And now you tell me you're getting into Felicity! It's my FAVORITE. SHOW. EVER. I didn't like her hair cut either but keep watching it, it's soooo good! Also, my BFF is moving across the pond in about a month...although I hope not permanently. I've been so afraid that she will meet a nice english lad and stay there!
ReplyDeleteAvery is totally adorable! Time flies so fast and they grow up way before you're ready. Lots going on at your house...would love a cupcake with some whipped cream on it!

Sorry to hear about your BFF moving out of the country…The brighter side is now you have another place to visit :)… Avery is getting so BIG, he is too cute. This year was my step daughter’s first year in middle school. Boy was it a roller coaster ride with her…
ReplyDeleteYou know I actually like the Tony Braxton show on Netflix…my week is going great...anywho, have a great week :).

I love your little guy. He is so cute. So sad when friends move away. I hope you and yours stay in touch. Good luck finishing your outdoor sofa.
