Happy Friday to you all! We have a lot going on this weekend. I have been planning this weekend since January and it has finally come to be. I can't wait to enjoy it!
Onto Friday favorites and happenings.
ONE. I wanted to wish my husband a very Happy 40th Birthday. I still can't believe that I am married to a 40 year old and turning 35 this year. Time seriously flies. We have known each other for 11 1/2 years, been together for 8 1/2 years and married for 4 1/2 years.
Last year, I wrote 39 things about Rory. Go check it out to learn more about him. Plus it gives some hints into his party.
I am throwing Rory a 40th birthday party tomorrow. It was supposed to be a semi surprise in that he knew he was having a party, but nothing else. I only told him about the party because he has NEVER wanted to have a birthday party. He said he hasn't had one since he was about 12 years old. So it was way over due. But one of his cousins spoiled where it was at and some of the people who were coming. Boo. But I still have a few tricks up my sleeve and I can't wait to share his party with you next week.
These girls have their daddy wrapped around their fingers. They may be sassy, stubborn and throw their tantrums, but the love they have for their daddy is like nothing I have ever seen.
TWO. I finally did my taxes this week. I have been putting them off because I can't stand doing them. Not only do I hate doing them, but we usually pay every year. We haven't had a refund since the first year we got married. Not even when we had the girls. Even though we pay for daycare, have kids and donate so much stuff (hello growing toddlers), we still pay.
Last year, I filed my taxes 3 days before Tax Day. This year, I knew I couldn't wait because we will be in Mexico when they are due. So I did them this week and prepped myself to pay. But guess what, we are actually getting a refund. It isn't huge like many that I see (I analyze my applicants taxes), but it is a refund instead of money due. I will take it.
This comes at a great time considering we just got the last two bills from Sutton's ER visit back in January. Ouch. We seriously need better insurance where I work.
THREE. So yesterday we had sooooo much rain. When it rains, I put the girls in their snow boots because they still go outside and have play time at daycare. Sutton DID NOT want to wear her snow boots because it wasn't snowing. Then to make matters worse, I wore my Hunter boots to work (casual day in support of the Wolf Pack) and Sutton wanted boots like mine.
I have been searching for rain boots for the girls for awhile now. Always looking for deals because while it does rain here, it doesn't rain much. Except for yesterday when we had 24 hours of non-stop down pour. Anyways, I remembered that Hunter was collaborating with Target and in two weeks their new line comes out. I soo soo hope to pick up the girls a pair each because the $50 ish price tag that Hunter charges is too much when my kids grow out of shoes so quickly.
But in the meantime, if you know of cheaper rain boots for kids, please send them my way.
FOUR. Yesterday, Emily mentioned this amazing website called Unroll.me This website allows you to unsubscribe from any and all subscription emails that you currently receive. I used it for both of my email accounts and I love the results. You have to tweet out something about the company to unsubscribe from more than 5 subscriptions, but I had no problem doing that. I embarrassingly had 192 email subscriptions on one account alone. I have about 20 on there now. So easy, simple and worth it.
This wasn't paid or anything. I just wanted to share it with you like Emily did with me because if you are like me and have a shopping problem, you are probably on everyone's email list.
Have a great weekend!!!
I am linking up with April, A Little Bit of Everything, Meet @ the Barre and Cup of Tea.
