Happy Friday, friends! There really isn’t any other way to say it other than Cheers to the weekend!! The weather is looking GOOD this weekend and I am here for it. It’ll be baseball and outdoor fun for us! I’m back today with The Friday Five, so come on over and let’s chat!!
If you’ve missed any of the past posts in the Friday Five series, you can find them all here.
Let’s chat all fun things going on over here right now. It’s my way of catching you guys up and sharing little tidbits of things I’ve recently discovered or things I just love to dish on!
THE FRIDAY FIVE
ONE // SPEND $50, GET A $10 GIFT CARD

Head-to-toe Target! I shared these fun paperbag waist pants last week, but did you know that my tank is a $5 Target find?! You can grab this whole look as part of the Spend $50, get a $10 gift card promo going on right now.
We all know I’ve been stocking up on Target shoes lately, but now is a great time to put some in your cart & closet! Women’s clothing and women’s shoes are part of the sale. They’ve been killing it in the sandal department this season and I always love a good Target top or dress! I’ll share my recent favorites below 😉
I also have a few pieces that I need to try on for you guys, but hopefully I can share some photos and videos tomorrow!
TWO // BETTER HOMES & GARDEN STYLEMAKER EVENT IS GOING VIRTUAL!
Oh how amazing it would be to be gearing up for the real deal BHG event in NYC with all my girls, but this year we’re going virtual! The annual event is typically held in NYC in September, but was postponed last year and we’ll be gathering together virtually next weekend. I am honored to have been invited and named a “Stylemaker” for the 4th year in a row. You can read all about the BHG event here and more about my girls’ weekend in NYC here!
Better Homes & Gardens always sends out a goodie box to the Stylemakers before the event with gifts from the event’s sponsors!
It truly is an honor to be invited back again and I’ll be sure to let you know how the “event” goes next week 😉
THREE // 3 RECENT TRADER JOE’S FINDS I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF
You all know I love a good Trader Joe’s run. [You can see my favorites here and here.] There are so many items there I’m constantly craving. Plus there is nothing better than their selection of fresh flowers – beautiful bouquets at insanely good prices. I’ve been buying their tomatoless salsa for awhile now, but recently can’t seem to put it down! I buy 3 jars at a time! Its sweet and spicy and so yummy, especially if you love corn as much as I do.
Another recent find is the Trader Joe’s Magnifisauce. I’m sure its not the healthiest, but it is fabulous on burgers and chicken. It reminds me of In and Out burger sauce. SO good.
We’ve also been making this Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry a lot lately. Its great with shredded or diced chicken and we’ve even mixed ground turkey with it. It’s got great flavor and is an easy weeknight dinner option with a lean protein!
FOUR // PORCH & PATIO SEASON IS COMING
After being cooped up for what feels like forever, nothing sounds better than being outside enjoying the Spring and Summer months! We refreshed our porch a couple years ago and our deck last year and wow, what a difference it makes to have those spaces finished. They truly feel like extensions of our home! With a few quick updates and some new decor, we are porch and deck ready!
If you are ready to give your outdoor space a quick facelift, I’ve got some helpful posts to share with you. Hopefully they help get your wheels spinning and ultimately help you create another space for your family and friends to enjoy!

FIVE // ALMOST TIME TO CELEBRATE MOM
Mother’s Day is right around the corner! I’m not sure how I’ll be spending my special day, but it will probably involve brunch and a day as a family. The boys will make cards and T will do something nice for me, too 😉 Mimosas and a massage don’t sound too bad either!!
coming up with gift ideas for my mom & MIL on the other hand, not so easy! If you’re in the same boat and need to figure out what to give the special women in your lives, I put together some ideas to get you started.
Here is this year’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide and I’ve linked the past year’s below. Just click on the image to take you to the post!
That’s all for today, but I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I do have a Weekend Wants post ready for you tomorrow and then I’ll be back again next week. Thanks for stopping by.
