5 on Friday - September Edition Week 1

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG
One.I'm currently working on a new logo and design for the website.  I know I just started this blog, so why change it already, but I'm not 100% sure it's what I want.  I'm hopeful that my new logo and design will make me love it even more!
Two.If you don't know about The Skimm, you're missing out!  The Skimm is a daily newsletter that simplifies the headlines for the educated professional who knows enough to know she needs more. They do the reading for you and explain it with fresh editorial content, breaking down what you need to know to start the conversation.  I learned about this through a fellow blogger and have greatly enjoyed reading my daily email from The Skimm.  It gives a summary of the latest current events, so even as a busy Mom who rarely has time to watch the news, you can remain up-to-date on current events!  Check them out!
Three.We're taking McKenzie to a local circus that is in town this weekend.  It's not going to be the big show and spectacle of Ringling Brother's, but I'm excited to go nonetheless.  It will give us an opportunity to get out of the house with her and do something fun!  Pictures to follow!
Four.
I love planning parties!  I especially love the small details of a party.  Even the smallest of parties can feel large scale, just by adding a few personalized touches.  If I had an opportunity to have my dream job, I would start my own event planning business.  I had such a blast planning McKenzie's first birthday!  Her theme was Pink Lemonade!  I will be doing a whole post to detail it soon, but here's a sneak peek of how cute it turned out!    People laughed at me because I put some much time and effort in to something that she won't remember.  I will always remember it though and she will always have the pictures.  The day couldn't have been any more perfect!


I'm so excited that a friend of mine asked me for ideas for her twin's 1st Birthday Party!  We have been plotting for the past few days!  I can't wait to see how cute this party turns out!
Five.Work = crazy.  I work at a hospital who received MAGNET designation. Our MAGNET re-certification is next week and the Joint Commission visits the following.  I have been in over-drive trying to get things ready!
Enjoy your weekend!

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG
One.
I miss my husband!  He's been out-of-town for the week and I am going crazy!  Not because I can't handle McKenzie, but because I miss him.  I miss us.  The house feels empty without him.  It's just not the same.  I absolutely can't wait for him to get home!
Two.
I am stronger than I realize! McKenzie and I spend lots of time together with just the two of us, due to Brian's schedule.  I never doubted that I could handle this week, but yet I did.  When I've done it in the past, Brian has only been a phone call away.  I always had a safety  net.  This week made me nervous because I don't have him nearby.  He's not even in a nearby state!  I managed though. Seriously though, how could you not love this kid?!
Three.
I am so looking forward to the long weekend!  It's going to be fabulous, even if the weather isn't going to be the greatest!  It's time to spend doing fun things with my loves!
Four.
It's been an emotional week with lots of ups and downs on all fronts. Thought this was appropriate! Well said, sir.  Well said.
Five.I had my very first Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks yesterday.  I'm now officially ready for the Fall.  Although normally not available until September, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, if you give the code PSL 10, you can have one now!  You're welcome!

That's it for this Friday!  Have a great weekend!
