Friday I’m in Love…on Saturday

Happy Friday and happy April! Apparently I haven’t shared my loves in about a month (and I can’t even get them posted on the right day), so we have a lot to catch up on, let’s get started.

o n e

In the world of sports, college basketball and March Madness has come to an end. I am sad to see basketball go, but I am excited about the new regime at IU. UCF ended their season in the final four of the NIT tournament, so that was exciting! Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to any games this year, that’ll be a goal for next year. Greg is thoroughly excited that baseball is back. He also opted to sit out of fantasy baseball this year, so watching games has been more laid back than it has been in years. Let’s go Mets!

This just in, parenting is hard. Here are a couple of good articles I’m loving lately: 9 Reasons Why I’m The Mean Mom, Not The Cool Mom and Dear Working Mom. Also related, I’ve been listening to the Simple Families podcast and Denaye has some really great episodes.

I don’t know why it took me so long to try coconut milk, but I’m obsessed. I’ve completely replaced my coffee creamer with it and I had it on my cereal this week. It’s delicious! My new drink at Starbucks is iced coffee with vanilla and coconut milk. I swear I’ve been talking about it all week. As far as dinners go, we’ve been having a lot of our usual favorites, but we are definitely adding these grilled shrimp tacos with avocado salsa in to the rotation. Yum!

f o u r

We were late to the game with watching Moana, but Greg randomly brought it home a few weekends ago so we finally watched it. It is SO good! I think Greg and I may have liked it even more than the kids. We’ve also been listening to the soundtrack nonstop on Spotify, which is just as amazing as the movie. If you haven’t seen or listened to it, I highly recommend it. We also saw the new live action Beauty and the Beast the day before we left on the cruise. It was also really good!

I am rarely on Facebook these days, but I happened to see a friend post about a food chopper that she just ordered. Considering all of the food prep we’ve been doing, I immediately ordered it. The Chef’n VeggiChop Hand-Powered Food Chopper is the jam! I first used it for bell peppers and wasn’t a huge fan because they turned out pretty watery. I used it next for onion and cilantro and it was amazing! I think I chopped the peppers too fine so I probably will try them again. Overall, I’m a fan. It’s so fast and easy!

t w o

Greg and I really love iced coffee (with vanilla and cream) and it’s our go-to drink at Starbucks. Greg did some research and found a copycat recipe from Starbucks themselves! He’s been grinding, pressing, and icing coffee each week for us and it’s so good!

Thank you Target for the best shirt of the year. Both of my kids got a new Strong Like Mom shirt to sport. Bravo, Target, bravo!

f o u r

The Hoosiers got a big win last night in the Big Ten tournament giving us a glimmer of hope for making the tournament. Either way, we’re ready for March Madness! Bring on the basketball!

I mentioned that we saw Trolls last weekend and it was so good! I was happy to hear so much great music in the movie. We’ve been listening to the soundtrack all week and we all love it! An added bonus is that you can listen to it for free if you have Amazon Prime or Spotify.

Target released their Black Friday deals this week! I was able to pick up a couple of gifts for super cheap yesterday during the preview sale. I have never been a big Black Friday shopper, so these early deals are right up my alley. Keep them coming!

t h r e e

I have to admit that I did put on Christmas music this week and once I saw the new Starbucks red cups, I got even more excited for the holiday season.

f o u r

College basketball is back! Hallelujah!

College basketball has come to and end and what an ending it was. Unfortunately, neither Greg, nor I could stay awake to watch the end of the game, so I was pretty bummed when I woke up the next morning to find that we missed an unbelievable finish to the National Championship game. However, I’m not going to lie, it did hurt a little bit seeing North Carolina there in place of our Hoosiers, but there’s always next year. My favorite part of the whole tournament is One Shining Moment and I was happy to see that Yogi made it in there. Thank you #11, you will be missed!

I got my first pair of Sanuk flip flops a few weeks ago and it is safe to say that I am never going back. They are SO comfortable and very reasonably priced. Kenley also got her first pair of big girl flip flops (with out a strap on the back) and she loves them! They ice cream is too cute, if I do say so myself.

I have mentioned Snapchat here before, but I don’t think I’ve shared this article. If you’re new to Snapchat or have no clue what I am talking about, here is A Complete Guide to Snapchat. Find me at kendradee03.

Greg would be sad if I didn’t mention something about baseball… opening day has come and gone and the MLB season is officially underway. Let’s go Mets!

The Country Music Awards were this week and I am sure you’ve already heard, but JT and Chris Stapleton stole the show.

Also exciting, Knightro was on stage with Brad Paisley during his performance of Country Nation!

This is turning into a music-loving week, but I am currently obsessed with Rachel Platten’s new song – Stand By You. It’s amazing!

t h r e e

Now that baseball is over, it’s time for college basketball! The Hoosiers are ranked #14 going into the season, but all that matters is where we are in March. Let’s get it started!!
