Five on Friday!

I absolutely adore Pinterest! Love, love, love it!
Today as we head into the weekend, I just want to share a few pins that make me smile.
And I hope they will put a smile on your face as well.
Or maybe inspire you to create something.
Because I know that almost everything I share with you today will most likely be incorporated onto a scrapbook page at some point :)


1. I love this because with Mike gone so much for work, it makes me think of how happy the kids are to see him when he comes home. I have a photo that I took at the airport last year...

 and the above quote would go so well with it.

2.  Anyone else? Seriously, I  have actually been better now that the kids are both in school full time. At least getting to bed before midnight. But there were times that I would be up at 1:30am thinking "what are you doing?" In fact, right now I need to get to bed ;)

3. I love these little ecards I am seeing all over Pinterest. I literally could do a whole post on this blog with nothing but ecards! And these two kind of go hand in hand for me. I am not a fan of cooking ;)  With two picky eaters and me the only adult most nights, it's tempting to eat out or order pizza. But I realize that it's just not practical or healthy, and I have been trying to plan meals at least five nights a week!

4. Um, this is so my husband. And the first time I saw this on Pinterest, I laughed so hard. I mean I feel bad for him and all, but I have never seen so much drama over milk :)

5. And another thing that I love about Pinterest. Seeing all of the toys that I grew up with! Did any of you have Fashion Plates? I loved these!
And this little tree house I had totally forgotten about. One of my favorites!

And anything Little People by Fisher-Price. All good stuff :)

Hope you have a great weekend! :)

  2. Thank you for the smiles on this early Friday morning. :) I love the photo of the kids seeing your hubby. I cry when I see people saying goodbye (even those I don't know) but reunions bring a big smile to my face.

  4. Too funny! I laugh at those ecards all the time and nod my head. Yep, they nailed it! :) And since it's Friday, pizza is totally acceptable for dinner! That's what I'm having. Have a great weekend!

  5. Mary Jo this is AWESOME!!!! I love those ecards too. I didn't have fashion plates, but I always got in trouble for snagging my sisters and playing with them! Hahahaha!

  6. Those ecards are funny, and I can so relate to the quote about staying up late and regretting it in the AM!

  8. This is such a fun post! I did have the fashion plates. I thought they were the coolest things ever!

    I love the ecards too. Whenever I see them on facebook I can't stop laughing. And the staying up late quote - I do that all the time! Especially when AJ is away. I have trouble sleeping when he is gone, plus he isn't around to say its time for bed, so I stay up until 1 or 2am, then have to work in the morning - no fun!

    As for the cereal, I do that all the time. But the worst was when I started making mac and cheese, and realized we had no milk. I may have over reacted slightly, but we did run downstairs and buy milk right away!

    I can't wait to see the layout you make with the first quote and photo! They go so well together.

  13. Yay I am not the only one who hates cooking - they all want different things, this one wants everything plain, this one red sauce this one white sauce! Ugggh! NO thanks! LOL

  14. I have resisted the urge to get on Pintrest ... but my willpower is almost out! I love seeing those ecards on Facebook though!! :)

    I used to LOVE my friend's Fashion Plates! I never got one, but I would love spending the night at her house, because I got to play with hers, LOL! Several years ago, my mother gave me a box with quite a few of my childhood toys that she'd saved. I think my favorite was my Weeble Wobbles playsets, and my Crayola Caddy!! I would spend HOURS arranging all the crayons, markers, paints in ROYGBIV order, making sure they were all sharpened and facing the same direction ... wow, I guess I had OCD with craft supplies even then!! LOL! :)
