Five on Friday!


Happy Friday! Sorry for being MIA this week. Things have been a little wild in our world.

one. Our first Supper Club of the year was last week at Cristina’s house. She nailed it with an ultimate taco bar and margarita station. There were SO many taco toppings and Cristina even provided the coolest taco stands for each girl. For dessert she served ice cream pies — so delicious!

 

Previous Supper Clubs Cristina has hosted: 2016 Build Your Own Salad Bar // 2015 Zoe’s Kitchen

 

two. Last weekend we had the best Saturday. We stuffed the kids full of pancakes and syrup and then let them run wild  for a few hours at the children’s museum.

THOSE EYES! They make me want to cry the happiest tears.

three.  Tom Tom had his 18 month well check-up this week! He had a sick visit last week so no stats came as a surprise to us – 24 pounds, 31″ long! But this little man was such a champ. He got TWO shots, gave the nurse a dirty look and then laughed. For real, this dude is made of steel. Afterwards we took him out for ice cream, sans sissy.

four. I received a lot of questions on my Insta Stories about my spiralizer last weekend! We’ve gone through our fair share of terrible spiralizers before we found this incredible spiralizer. It is easy to use, easy to clean and has lots of attachments.

Last year’s Valentine Card for Matt I downloaded here.

five. Dear Matt, if you are reading this, stop now.

No seriously.

…Last chance!

Okay friends, what are you getting your husbands for Valentine’s Day? The last few years we’ve agreed to “no gifts” but then of course Matt gets me a gift and I feel bad for not reciprocating. I need some ideas before I end up buying him this (Matt — shame on you if you’re still reading! Do not click that link!) and some more of these. So, as you can see, I need some ideas.

Your little guy is so cute!!!! So the whole My Pillow thing...my husband has been talking about them too and we were going to watch for Costco to get them again. I have a friend who loves hers, but after reading all the comments on here I think we'll steer clear. Thanks for the info I didn't even know I needed.? The taco bar looked delish!!!

V-day gift idea if you were considering briefs- my hubby is obsessed with the SAXX or MyPakage underwear! I wasn't convinced at first, but he swears by them :) Just a thought!

Five on Friday!






Currently…

– ONE // EATING – Last weekend I threw together a Baked Spaghetti dish that fed us through 4 dinners this week. By last night I was pretty tired of spaghetti but Matt can eat pasta every night of his life so he was pretty happy. Anyway, I started with Six Sister’s Baked Spaghetti recipe and adapted it from there, eliminating meat and onions, swapping out cottage cheese for ricotta, etc. I also was able to make two large meals from one batch and chose to freeze one for later.

Baked Spaghetti

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti

1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

2 eggs

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

5 tablespoons butter, melted

2 cups ricotta cheese

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese and butter. Drain spaghetti; add to egg mixture and toss to coat. Place half of the spaghetti mixture in a large greased baking dish. Top with half of the ricotta cheese, sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

 – TWO // WEARING – Well, I’m not wearing these adorable items but I do have a little man who will be come July! This week we received our first few gifts for Thomas – seersucker shorts (Matt is ridiculously excited about matching with his son all summer) and a newborn hat from Infanteenie Beanie (here). I also picked up a cute Feltman Brothers outfit for him. I’m learning that boy clothes can be fun too!

– THREE // READING – I’ve already told you all about my obsession with Jim Gaffigan. In fact, Matt and I have already decided that our first date night after Thomas arrives will be the Contagious show in Charlotte on August 15. Anyway, lately I’ve been reading Dad is Fat (find it here) and laugh until I cry. For those of you who are parents, you will find this book especially funny.

 – FOUR // LISTENING TO – It only took 3 months but I’m finally on the last episode of the Serial podcast. This podcast has been perfect for listening to during those nights of pregnancy insomnia. But now that I’m about to finish the podcast I need recommendations on what to listen to next. Help!



 


– FIVE // CHASING – This munchkin around…
