Thursday Thoughts with ETB | 5.21.15

I think...

it was time for a new iPhone and I finally upgraded..only to a 5 though #thanksJHG

watermelon and I are meant to be together

6 am workouts really increase my energy levels and happiness for the day #CLTbarMethod

every weekend should be a 3 day weekend... wishful thinking

this weekend is special because I get to see my two good friends get married here in Charlotte and TWO of my good friends will be in town to celebrate!! #finallyAChandler

after being apart from Jack for the past 19 days it makes me more appreciative for the days we get to spend together 

the Bachelorette is going to consume my Monday nights, along with a glass of vino #teamClint

green tea is going to be my summer time drink, thanks Starbucks

                        It's Thursday...and I am linking up with: Meagan

Weekend | March is HERE!!

What I loved about my weekend… in a nutshell

Sunshine & lots of it—I enjoyed Saturday outside at Freedom Park and spend Sunday with the air off and doors wide open

Bar class –at a new studio opening in Charlotte

Early morning shopping to avoid the crowds

Tickle fights—especially with the kiddos I babysit

Sushi goodness with friends—we may or may not have ordered 7 rolls + an app

Being a kid again playing Mario Kart & Mario Party (and of course Jack won)

Jack and I cooking Sunday dinner together + brownie sundaes

TIME CHANGE- here's to longer sunny days

What I will forget about my weekend—the horrible UNC/Duke game

How was your weekend? Did you enjoy the sunshine?

Starbucks BOGO Free

If you are fan of Starbucks get excited because it's Starbucks BOGO Free Week!! What a way to treat yourself (twice) or treat a friend with one of their favorite holiday drinks. The BOGO runs only from Today, November 12th until Sunday, November 16th 2pm-5pm AND, as a bonus, My Starbucks Rewards  members get an extra hour, until 6pm. 

This year's new creation is the Chestnut Praline Latte. This latte is a combination of espresso, steamed milk, and flavors of caramelized chestnuts and spices. Then it is topped with whipped cream and spiced praline crumbs. I will certainly have to give this new drink a try! Other flavors also included are Caramel Brulee Latte, Peppermint Mocha, Skinny Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Latte, and Eggnog Latte. (Flavors may vary based on location).

My favorites are Peppermint Mocha and the Caramel Brulee Latte.

While you are out this week getting some early holiday shopping done, stop by Starbucks and grab something yummy!

Skinny Vanilla Latte

Every year Enzo {Jack's family dog} participates in the Howl-O-Ween Bash Halloween Party and Costume Contest at Lucky Bones Country Club. We have all been very proud of Enzo and some great costumes over the years. He has been a lion, a racehorse, and the camel from "What day is it? HUMP DAY", which was pretty funny... and he brought home 1st place every year! Also did I forget to mention that all of his costumes were homemade, which makes them even more special. 

This year we had a hard time coming up a costume to beat all of the previous year, but Mrs. Linda came up with a great one...

INTRODUCING: ENZO the Venti Skinny Vanilla Latte w/ Madagascar Cinnamon

Mrs. Linda helping Enzo get his costume on! How CUTE!
