Friday favorites: this and that

Another week with much to celebrate–from a funny candy wrapper to my beautiful grandchildren to a much anticipated trip to Mazatlan! Let’s get started.

Solid advice from Dove Chocolates. Now I just need to start an argument…

So proud of these boys! They worked hard for their spots on the respective Cottonwood High soccer teams. Congratulations Keaton and Ryelee!

I asked for neutral nail color, since I would be going three weeks before the next color change. Meghan couldn’t resist showing me the perfect color for a vacation to Mexico. Guess which one I went with! (I am not sad about my choice.)

And then, of course, I needed “beach” toes.

All painted and ready to go

I couldn’t resist posting a pic of this little fashionista. I love you, Piper and your impeccable taste!

Spring is definitely in the air…and sprouting from the ground and the trees.

Spring has sprung

The trees are budding!

It wouldn’t be Friday Favorites, if there wasn’t food. This lemon blueberry cake came from Granite Bakery. It was as delicious as it is beautiful!

And finally, we are back at El Sol La Vida in Nuevo Mazatlan! Prepare for beauty overdose.

  1. Hi Christie,
    I like your blog’s tag-line. It’s funny how you compare life to driving a car. I agree with your analogy. I also like your flowers. I am trying to improve my photography and blog about often. I’ve been to Mazatlan a long time ago.
    I met you at Grammy Dee’s blog party. You wrote that you wanted to meet new bloggers, so I came to meet you.
    Maybe you can check out my blog if you need any blogging tips. That’s what I write about.
