Happy Weekend everyone! I hope you all have some fun plans the next couple days. I am getting ready for part three of our Valentine’s Day celebrations, so exciting! In the mean time, please feel free to check out my guest post on Ashley’s blog! I made a Whole Wheat Banana Yogurt Bread that is worth checking out, plus Ashley’s blog is adorable and I know you will all love getting to knew her through the blog, ‘My Food n’ Fitness Diaries.’
To get everyone’s Saturday started on a good note, I want to share a few of my own joys I have had in my life the past week:
1) My gorgeous Valentine’s Day tulips and iris’ are blooming bigger, brighter and bolder every day!
2) Last night I had a wonderful evening with my mom. We got our nails done..
I went for the sea foam green look. Definitely a different choice for me! I am usually more of a pink girl, but I thought I would mix it up with a little change.
We window shopped at Victoria’s Secret and Banana Republic, and finally relaxed, laughed and talked during a great dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.
This is the Hershey®’s Chocolate Bar Cheesecake. Oh my goodness. There are no words.

Absolutely amazing! Satisfied this girl’s sweet tooth that’s for sure! Do you want to know what was even better than the cheesecake though? My time spent with my beautiful, smart, funny, and kind mother. She always goes out of her way to let me know I am special and loved. She truly is my very best girlfriend and we have such a great time together.

3) Tebow has mastered two new tricks:
Sit
Lay……on the Couch
Ha Ha! Yes, we know this is not a good trick to know. It may be cute at 30 pounds, but it won’t be so cute at 75 pounds! FYI – this trick he taught himself. He did not learn this at puppy preschool!!
Questions:
What has brought you joy this week?
Wow, what a great idea for bread!!! Looks deeelish. Have a great weekend!!
Thanks girl! I hope you had a great weekend as well!
My puppies always bring me joy! Also, I had my first soccer last night in like 2 years- its something I don’t always get to do and I forgot how much I love it!
Oh how fun! My husband plays in an adult soccer league that has one game a week and he loves it!
This might be a creeeeepy question, but as a self-proclaimed Cheesecake Factory fanatic, was the main picture on the right side of your blog taken there?
If not, you can call me a creepo
Actually, if the answer is yes you can still call me a creepo
Ahh! Ha ha yes it was! (Not creepy at all by the way!
) I love the Cheesecake Factory and I pick it as my go-to Birthday Dinner spot every year! I will share a little secret with you too, I went twice last week! Once for a business lunch and then the time with my mom! A tad bit obsessive I would say.. lol!
Oh my goodness, Tebow is getting so big!!! He definitely has that lanky puppy look
Those flowers are gorgeous! Enjoy your weekend, girl!
Ahh I know! He weighs 30 pounds now, getting big!
That cheesecake looks amazing!!! Tebow is adorable.. my dog brings me joy every day!
Thank you! Tebow brings me joy too..
Dogs can make such an impact on our lives every day!
I love your tulips! They just keep getting prettier.
Thanks! I think they have finally bit the bullet though
I walked into work this morning and the tulip heads were facing down toward my desk, so sad!
tebow is so darn cute I can’t even stand it! i love the color you chose for your nails!!
Thank you! I like the color too, I wish I would have read the name, all I know is it is an OPI color!
Aww! Tebow is sooooo cute! and so handsome!
What brought me joy this week was having a baby shower for my friend (well it was today). I loved getting together with friends, decorating, making food, and then enjoying each others’ company.
Thanks! I think he’s handsome too
That is so fun, I absolutely love baby showers! We are throwing a shower for my cousin in March and I can’t wait!
Aw Tebow is so cute. When I adopted my pug, I thought I wasn’t going to let him up on the furniture. As soon as he came into my apartment, he plopped himself on the couch… so much for that plan!
Ahh me too! I had so many rules before we adopted him and then he wrapped me around his little puppy finger and I let him do what he wants! boo! lol
Oh I love Cheesecake Factory too!
Last week I got daisies for Valentine’s Day; they are my favorite because to me they just look happy! They are still gorgeous like your tulips! I think I may be splurging on a piece of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake this week to continue on the happiness of course :p
Oh gorgeous! I love daisies too! Ahh, Reeses Pb Cheesecake?! Sounds incredible!
I love that nail polish color!
Thanks Paige! I really wish I would have read the name on the bottle. All I know is that it’s an OPI!
I recently started reading your blog, and I thorougly enjoy it. You are always so positive! What brought me joy this past week…my boyfriend was home on leave from his deployment, so it was definitely exciting to see him again
Aww, thanks Naomi! I am so happy you found me
That is definitely a joy that your boyfriend was home! I would say having loved one’s home is the best gift of all!
Just found your blog, and I noticed your dog is named Tebow?! My family’s dog is also named Tebow. Lol.
