WAHOO for the weekend!
I’m happy to see the weekend arrive. We have fun plans on the weekend horizon-Valentine’s Dance, my parents are coming to visit, NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, and that’s just a bit of the fun!
It’s Friday, which means I’ve teamed up with Andrea and Narci to share my Friday Favorites. Each Friday we invite you to join us and share your favorites as well. Simply link up to the blog post where you’re highlighting your faves and voila!
Book Review:
Oh my goodness! This book…whoa! If you like those thrillers like Gone Girl, Girl on the Train, etc., then THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! About halfway through the book you learn something and I was in complete shock. I couldn’t put this one down. Be warned-it’s definitely rated “R”.

Favorite Product:
I’ve mentioned these glasses a few times, but I think they deserve their own little spotlight. I’ve shared before that my name is Erika and sometimes I have trouble keeping up with things. Like my debit card, car keys, and such. I KNOW there’s NO WAY I’d be able to keep up with a pair of sunglasses I spent more than $20 on and that would stress me right out! So, I sport these sunglasses all summer long. If {let’s be real-WHEN} I lose them, it’s not a big deal.
For the upcoming spring/summer I purchased four different pairs of sunglasses and spent less than $60. Now is the time to stock up!

Celebrity Big Brother:
Please note…this is NOT a FAVORITE, but I want to hear if you’re watching. Are YOU? I know a lot of you are Big Brother fans, but WHAT do you think of this season? I’m a few episodes behind, but I’m currently having that feeling of your most favorite movie ever making a sequel and the sequel falling FLAT!! Anyone else? I’m hoping after a few more episodes I won’t feel like that!

Olympics:
Who knew the half pipe was gonna be my favorite Olympic sport to date? A sweet reader sent me this graphic and I could NOT stop laughing. This was me earlier this week. I mean Chloe Kim AND Shaun White! Were you watching??!

Valentine’s Day:
Yesterday, the littles and I went to the big kiddos’ school for Valentine’s Day parties. Our first stop was Nixon’s class. This crazy kiddo LOVES this girl so much.
After hanging with Nixon for a bit, we did a little switcharoo and then joined Ebby Lee at her class party.
Wednesdays are our busy sports’ night with practices and such. I was fully expecting to eat at different times and whip up a quick dinner, but my valentine picked us all up for a quick meal out. I chose La Madeline because three words-CHICKEN CAESAR SANDWICH. The sandwich is basically a chicken caesar salad ON the most delicious bread. Can you tell I’m a fan? And since it was Valentine’s Day, I didn’t feel an ounce of guilt about eating it.
A picture with 4/5 of my valentines. 🙂
I shared this on Instagram {you can follow me at slaughteren} on Wednesday night, “One year ago today, I opened up an email with the file for this precious baby. Her file told a story of such a brave girl. I remember thinking as I stared at her little face that her eyes were missing something. There just wasn’t a sparkle. But a year later I now know it was love. This precious baby was missing the love only a family can give. It’s safe to say her sparkle is now present and it’s here to stay. This special day of love has a double meaning for our family of six.”
Hope you have the BEST weekend! Since the kiddos are out of school on Monday, I’m gonna take a vacation day myself. See you back here on Tuesday for Tuesday Talk!
