High Five For Friday!

Hi Five for Friday!  It's been a little while since I've been around these parts but I'm excited to be back at the party!  Linking up with Lauren for my high five of the week:

1) To start my week off back at work on a positive note I decided to treat myself to a morning cup of coffee.  Well me or whoever "Kadi" is.  Any who, coffee was a bust.  This skinny peppermint mocha was not exactly the delicious pick me up I was looking for.  No worries, I made up for it the rest of the week with perfect cups of home brewed delicious coffee in our Keurig.


2) We got a kitchen compost pail!  Ok, hippie alert I know but, we have been wanting to start composting for so long and I'm so excited we finally can.  I can't wait to see if we notice a difference in our garden fruits and vegetables after we begin to till in the compost.


3) I made these granola bars this week from skinnytaste.com.  You guys, I.Am.In.Love!  You have to try them.  Ok I guess I can force you to but I can highly suggest that you try them.  I've had one each morning with fruit for breakfast and could easily have seconds and thirds a fourths.  They were surprisingly easy to make and I was lucky enough to have all ingredients in the pantry, bonus!


4) Up until about a month ago we thought we hit the labrador allergy jackpot with miss Marley.  That was until the ear infections, leg gnawing and eye watering started.  Like Maya, Marley too seems to have food allergies, which we discovered after completing treatment for her symptoms that then reappeared when the medication ceased .  Luckily, after only a few days on her new food, she has stopped gnawing on her legs, her ears have begun to clear up, her eyes don't water anymore and she just seems more perky overall.  Happy pet parent moment over here!

5) On Thursday this happened:

Because this happened:

 
Please don't judge.  I was in desperate need of "Merry and Bright" in some other form then red break lights.

The weather is predicted to cool off in our parts this weekend and I am incredibly excited about that.  Between a week in the Bahamas at 85 degrees and a week at home with one day hitting 90 degrees, I've almost forgotten that it's actually Fall.  Happy Friday friends!

  1. I would love to have a kitchen compost. Unfortunately, I live in a condo and have no place to dispose of it after. Oh, and I love that song. :)

  2. I was disappointed with the skinny peppermint mocha as well. I either splurge and get the regular peppermint mocha or stick to regular coffee!
