5 on Friday

1. Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo - I celebrated at work but at home was pretty chill. With Taco Tuesday every week at our house, I guess we don't get all crazy for cinco de mayo.

2. Today is my SIL's birthday. She is 30 so we'll be celebrating this weekend! Gotta prepare myself for turning the big 3-0 in August.

3. We've been living at our new house but I still wake up thinking I am on vacation or something. It doesn't seem like it's ours yet. I put together this cute little video with the girls celebrating in front of our new place.

4. I managed to show up 3 times this week on the 'ol blog. Pretty good considering my lack of posts last week. In case you missed it, check out my transition to Spring look here.

5. I've managed to stay up with my reading so far this year. I've made it through 14 of my 30 book goal. Pretty good for for the first week of May. Follow me on Goodreads to see what I've been reading. I am always on the lookout for new suggestions!

Graphic Tee: Transition to Spring

Sometimes I really struggle with how to transition my cold-weather Indiana clothes into Spring. And once I'm in the Summer wardrobe-mode, moving back to colder weather is tricky. I can't be the only person with this issue?! I took my favorite graphic tee (found at Target - just $12.99!) and made it work for both colder weather and something a little warmer.

The outfit on the left was for a weekend of running errands and grocery shopping. The outfit on the right was after my garage sale and I traded my sandals for tennis shoes to take the dog for a walk.

How do you transition your favorite pieces between seasons?

Meal Plan #18

I'm back! Unfortunately the internet doesn't want to work at the new place quite yet so I had to wait until this morning to type up my post. I'm feeling a little less stressed with having a written out meal plan for this week. And moving the majority of our stuff went pretty well over the weekend - minus it raining the whole time :( So let's jump in!

MONDAY: Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
It's been rainy and dreary. I thought this would make the perfect meat free meal that nobody could complain about!

TUESDAY: Tator Tot Taco Salad
I found this in a cookbook over the weekend. You basically put all your taco fixin's on top of tator tots. Not the healthiest idea, but yum!

WEDNESDAY: Ham & Bean Soup
My MIL made and canned a bunch of soup so we'll have it for a quick dinner.

THURSDAY: Spaghetti

FRIDAY: Grill Out!
The backyard at our new place is like you are in some magical forest and not the city. I can't wait to grill out while the girls run around in the yard.

It feels good to have a meal plan put together again! #mealplanning #organizedmama
