Facts of Friday
1. It’s FRIDAY!! Can you believe it?!?! I don’t know why but I think Thursday is my least favorite day of the week. Yesterday, all I was thinking was, “I wish it was Friday.” Anyone else?
2. Keely and I will be doing a little swimming this morning then a possible playdate with our friend Ash who babysits another girl on our floor then a trip to Target.
3. Keely is going to Gaga & Papas tomorrow for a little weekend getaway…she’s been asking ALL week about going to my parents so I’m happy it’s happening for her. She LOVES her G&P, oh, and Linus and the trains. 🙂
4. After I get home from dropping off Keely, Bobby and I are going to hit up two fests, Taste of Greektown & Bash on Wabash.
5. I am planning to do some deep cleaning on Sunday (sometime) – the place totally needs it and I hate cleaning when Keely is home as I like to play and hang with her.
6. My workouts this week have been great and I can feel my legs getting strong again so it’s time to bump up the weight.
7. I hope you all have an amazing weekend!! Cheers! XOXO

MIMM…Family Fun Weekend
It’s MONDAY, Already!! This past weekend seriously went by so fast but it was a lot of fun. I got back late Thursday night from my business trip and just wanted to go to sleep so that I could see Keely in the morning. Before heading out to pick her up at my parents, I got some cleaning done and a little work as well. I spend a little time at my parents before returning home with Miss K & Mr. H. The rest of the afternoon/evening involved playing, eating and getting things together for our overnight vacay. Saturday, we left for a waterpark in Rockford and it was Keely’s first mini vacation (staying the night in a hotel room) plus it was Al Boy’s birthday so my parents met us and we enjoyed a day of water, arcades, and laughter. Yesterday, by the time we got home, it was just about naptime which meant I needed to get some grocery shopping done. The rest of Sunday was spent watching The Lion King, doing laundry and playing with the kitchen set. All and all, a GREAT weekend, esp. after being gone for three days for work. ❤
Marvelous Is…
Pandora rocks my world!!
Family Fun Weekend!!
Such an awesome movie!! ❤
Thanks for Katie at Healthy Diva Life for another wonderful MIMM Link-up. You ROCK, Girl!! Enjoy your day Peeps!!
MIMM…Just Another Monday…
It’s Monday…How excited are you?!?! I am heading to SLC this week for work and a little sad and a little excited. Sad because it’s my first time traveling since I’ve been home with Keely (full-time) and excited because I finally get to meet some clients. Since I remotely, going to shows (expos) are the only time I get to meet clients face-to-face. I Skype and use Go-To Meeting to conduct a lot of my business but there is nothing like some face-to-face action plus I do love traveling.
So today, I am linking up to the ever so beautiful Katie @ Healthy Diva Life for another amazing MIMM. We had one FUN-FUN weekend over here and can’t wait till this coming weekend as we have something SUPER fun planned!! Let’s get this par-ty started…
Marvelous is…
Exploring the Zoo on a Friday morning. Where are those lions?!?!
A little festin’ before the White Sox game!! Edgefest was the BOMB!!
Fireworks after the game!! More, Boom Boom, please!!
An awesome quote!! Thanks, Pinterest!!
