5 on Friday

Hello Friends! It's that time of the week again. Oh how I love Fridays, especially when the hubby is off work every other one :) Harper does not have school on Fridays and the weather gorgeous. How much more could I ask for?


Let's get to business!



1. {Makeover!}
First things first, there are some fun things happening on the blog! As an early birthday present, my sweet hubs ordered me a new blog design. I'm not sure when it will be up, but I am over-the-moon excited and it will be a lot cleaner, fresher and easier to look at than these stripes.  But I still love me some stripes ya'll.

2. {That little project I forgot to take pictures of}
A few weeks ago, I gave a little sneak-peek of a space I was trying to do something with on my front porch and then never showed the final product.

(Front porch light is broken)

 I LOVE this little thing. It's an old window from our own house before we had them replaced. Two coats of chalkboard paint and boom, there you go. People leave messages for us too which is super cute and convenient.




3. {Fall=Football}
My husband is not big into Football whatsoever. Which I think is kinda weird being that he is 6'5 manly Police Officer. Baseball was his thing :) But, he is being a sweetheart and taking me to a football game at his high school, at my request. I just want to go and get that experience this year, it's been too long. And maybe a little stadium food :)

4. {How you know you're married to a cop}
I actually thought about starting a "series" on this. Sometimes it's hilarious, gory or sad to hear about some of the things Jimmy sees during the day.  Our dinner conversations would scare people, I think.

There was a guy with Federal warrants running around somewhere near our neighborhood. Sable is the Police helicopter. Convo between Jimmy and I:

Just a normal day around here.

5. {Coolest Birthday ever.}

Miss Hollin's 2nd birthday is coming for my Halloween baby! I cannot believe she is going to be 2!! Last year's party was pretty elaborate (for us) and I vowed this year we would scale back a bit. I can't make up my mind about when/where to have it. I gotta get on that.  The type-A part of me wants to craft and Pinterest and really put something cute together. The tired momma part of me is exhausted just thinking about that.


I hope you've had a fantastic week! What kind of things do you have planned for the weekend?

Be sure to link up with Natasha, Darci and the gang for 5 on Friday!
