Happy Friday, my friends! Lots going on around here and in my brain, so time to purge it out in a Friday Housekeeping post. We’re super excited for the weekend…which for me, will include an extra day off to celebrate my son’s birthday!

My girlfriend is having a blow-out party Saturday night, and I think I’ll make these fun Patriotic Pretzel Sparklers.

I think I’ll make a Black Bean Salsa too, mostly because I want the cans! I think it’d be cute to serve the pretzels in these cuties my clever friend, Courtney, made.

I was perfectly happy with my red Front Door. That is until Abby posted her client’s new green door. Granted I don’t have a cottage-style house, but now I suddenly feel the need to change my door color!

It’s been a full week since Mr. Sugarplum brought these flowers home for our anniversary, and they are still first-day fresh. Well done, sunflowers!
My friend, Emily, recently brought her twin babies home to this gorgeous nursery! I’ve seen it in person and these amazing pictures don’t even do it justice! I can’t wait to go back, but this time get some baby love.

And I’m so thrilled for my other friend, Emily, who’s home appears in this month’s issue of Better Homes & Gardens! How cool is that!? And how weird is it that this Emily also just had twins?! And how grateful am I that my mom didn’t name me Emily?! It’s a beautiful name, but I’m not taking any chances in the twin department!

So that wraps up my random happenings and musings today. What’s running through your head, and what have you got planned for the weekend? Unfortunately, I won’t have a party post for you on Monday, but I have a feeling I’ll enjoy leaving the party mess behind for someone else to clean! Have a great one, lovebugs!
I need to go check out that nursery more closely. It is looking fab. I love that cottage door color.
Happy Birthday to your son and happy 4th to you! That door makes me want to paint my red brick house so I can play with color on the outside of the door. PS> That nursery is gorgeous!! I love that is neutral but has so many patterns.
Awwww, thanks Cassie!! Hope to see you soon!! 🙂
