High Five for Friday!


Welcome to Friday friends!  Per usual I'm linking up with Lauren for my High Five of the week:

1) Happy Valentine's Day too you!  No valentine, no problem. I'll adopt you as a valentine just like I designate myself as my sister's valentine every year.  Seriously, I think she'll keep whatever future boyfriend she has a secret for years just to collect on the valentines I send her. Smart girl!

This image came from Pinterest with no source.  If it's yours let me know so I can give proper credit!

2) I'm not big on color in my wardrobe although I have been branching out.  I am, however; big on color around my desk. It just makes the day brighter.  I ran out of pens and correction tape this week so I was very excited to get a fresh batch of color in.  Believe it or not, in my job there's still quite a bit of handwriting needed. 


3) How cute is this gift bag?  I'm sure that's the first thing my husband is going to think when he opens it this morning. NOT. But really, one of my favorite parts of giving a gift is picking the wrapping. So like it or not, the guy gets a fancy bag.


4) I bought this soap at Whole Foods this week and I'm really loving it.  I was looking for something Rose scented but couldn't find anything so I settled for the next best thing.  Usually we use Dove but it seems they've changed their formula because now it leaves a film on your skin after you shower.  Maybe we just got a bum batch but this new find is a decent replacement and nice change for now.


5)  Our new fencing is done and it's awesome!  It was finished yesterday but since I got home after dark I couldn't take any photos.  When possible, Aaron and I have always tried to use local small businesses for the home projects we couldn't DIY and the new fence was one of those. Needless to say, the job was done in under a week, part of which was just concrete needing to dry. The work was clean, they never left a mess, and the final product exceeded our expectations. Another small business success. :D

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  Mine is a three day and I'm pretty excited about that.  Long weekends equal short work weeks. Basically a win/win!

  1. Hi! I'm stopping by from the link up. :) I love a new set of Sharpies- I'm kind of an office supply/stationary junkie. And, I love that gift bag too! You're totally right, half the fun of giving a gift is creating the perfect presentation.
    I hope you have a great Valentine's Day!!

    xo Always, Abby

  2. That bag is cute! And I agree I love the gift wrapping part of gift giving as much as the gift sometimes!
