What I'm Loving (Obsessing) This Week...

Well of course the NCAA tournament began this week and our TV has been tuned in non-stop. Usually I'm all in, but this year an early upset has me a bit tuned out.  As a result, I'm going to take this time to escape and share a bit of what I'm obsessing loving this week.

First, THE STICKY BUN BREAKFAST RING.  Made this little pinterest inspired yummy last weekend.  It was so quick and easy and we absolutely devoured it.

As most of the state of Texas was out of school this week on Spring Break (including the king of the castle), my district was not...and trust me a break is well due for both the kids and teachers.  A few key front office staff members realized the need for a re-charge and planned some excellent activities and goodies for the teachers and titled the week Spring Fling.  It was such a hit. Hot dogs and movies in the lounge, wearing flip flops one day, a scavenger hunt, and here's what I'm loving....FRUIT SLUSHES. They were delectable, and made with a couple of these handy dandy machines which I am now eye-balling on Amazon and trying to justify the purchase.  Do any of you have one?? I am in love.

A couple of weeks ago I hosted a Thirty-One catalog party for a good friend at work.  Here are a couple of my hostess gifts that I just adore.  They are so sweet and I'm wondering if a certain 5 year old will try to claim them before I get them stuffed with my "stuff."

Yesterday, I set out to purchase a new pair of ballet slippers for my little dancer and this tres chic bag caught my eye. I quickly flashed to my "take me shopping" pinterest board and thought it would be a fabulous addition to multiple spring looks.  I can't wait to carry it this week.

This weekend I mixed a few bars in my Scentsy (really just didn't want to clean out one before adding the other). Coconut Lemongrass + Rio Beach = an urge to schedule a tropical escape.

This next obsession was just discovered yesterday. YOPLAIT BITES. Oh my word...they are uh-mazing. I highly recommend you try these little bites of heaven.  They say 30 calories a bite, but by the time you hit bite number 2-3 you will highly likely take care of the rest of the bag.  Key lime pie flavored is my fave.



 This last one is always on my mind, but this week he has me especially attentive. My hero, my little brother,  Brandon (on the right) is working his last couple of weeks in Afghanistan. Unfortunately right now, tension is high over there.  I'm praying that he can finish up his last few days of his year tour safely before heading back to Hawaii in a few weeks.  He clearly deserves a little relaxation and toes in the sand. We love you B and can't wait till your back on US soil.

Well I hope everyone has an excellent week and can find a few things you're lovin too!!
