Happy Friday all!

ONE. Our taxes are finally filed. I seriously hate doing it and was nervous about doing our own this year with Rory starting a new job last year. But it turns out, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was just a little more work. Though I wanted to share a tip...I was asked if we sold, acquired, transferred or bought products/services with some form of cryptocurrency. I said yes, but then it never took me to that area. I googled if you had to include it this year (as we haven't in years past) and it was a resounding yes. That you must. So I searched where it should be (in your income section, schedule 1) included and added ours in. 

Anyways, I am just thankful that it is done for the year and I don't have to worry about it in a month when it is tax crunch time. Do you do your own taxes? I think this may be our last year doing our own.

TWO. This last weekend my mom, my sister's mother-in-law and myself threw my sister a baby shower. My little nephew is due in less than a month and I couldn't be more excited. I thought I would share my gift with her (other than what I bought on Amazon as you saw that on my Amazon Prime - February post) and link any items just in case you have a baby shower to shop for or are shopping for your little one.

Basket (Hobby Lobby)

Baby Converse Shoes (I bought these in September when she told me she was pregnant)

Cloud Island 3 Pack Onesies

Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham

THREE. And now I thought I would share some photos and decorations from the baby shower.

I didn't have enough room on the board to add the crackers, jam and nuts.

We set up a mimosa bar with champagne and sparking cider which wasn't pictured as we wanted to let them chill until guests arrived.

Baby Shower Boxes

This is only a small portion of the gifts. We had them lined down the hallway.

My sister and the little photo area I set up. Isn't she glowing?!

Sisters

The little girl on the right was in my wedding when she was 3. I can't believe how much little B has grown.

FOUR. On IG I got some request on the skirt I was wearing at my sister's shower. It is from Loft and it is on sale. I am wearing a small and the waist is very forgiving.

FIVE. Weekly funnies.

This was my life 100%

I was just telling Rory how I need a net in the trunk area for this.

It's been a year since this started. Ugh.

For the record, I am #2.

Right?

Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
