Five Loves on Friday

{via}

Happy Friday, friends!  Let's get right to the good stuff!

1.  DWTS Disney Night

Monday night was "Disney Night" on Dancing with the Stars. I usually watch it by myself, but this theme made for a super fun family night!

From the opening number I was in {happy} tears!  Disney gets me every time!!

The theming, costumes, music, and choreography were fantastic!  It was hands down the best episode I've ever seen!  

Here are a few of my favorites from that night...

2.  Little Bargain Shopper!

Taking after her mama, my lit'l sweetie pie was so excited to stretch her dollar F-A-R this week!  She had her eye on a cute plush in the Easter aisle at Walmart a few weeks back.  I let her in on the secret that after holidays they mark everything down, and if she waited a bit she could likely get a super great deal on it.  This week we headed to Walmart with her money, a whole $1.34.  These stuffed animals were originally $2.98 and she really hoped they had come down to where she could afford one with her own money.  (Although I would've gladly chipped in a quarter if needed. ;))  When we got to that pretty pastel section of the store we found all things Easter were 90% off!  Not only could she get one, she now had enough for three!  When we arrived home she burst thru the door and shouted cheerfully, "Daddy, I saved $8.07!"  She used my phone's calculator in the car to quickly figure out exactly how great the deal she scored truly was!  She's a girl after my own heart!

3.  tax day:  an excuse for deliciousness

The BLT pizza from Pizza Ranch is one of my taste buds' favorite things!  Wednesday they offered double ranch reward points, so we simply couldn't resist! 


Speaking of pizza and taxes (this is likely the only time I'll begin a sentence in that way), have you seen Pizza Hut's National Pizza Return?  

You can fill out a "P-2" answering those big life questions like "Approximately how many pepperonis did you eat in 2014?"  Once you've tallied up your total to all the questions, mail it in for a chance to win your net pizza return in gift cards.  If you've got a few minutes and a stamp, you never know, it could be your ticket to a free pizza party! 

4.  s l u m b e r   p a r t y 

This week Jason was out of town on business.  While he was away the girlies and I had a good ol' fashioned slumber party complete with scrumptious snacks, lots of chatting, laughter, manis, and makeovers.  As much as I missed my hubs, I soaked up the special "girls time" with my sweeties!

5.  Liebster Award Q & A

Kylie from KYLIEMCGRAW  nominated me for a Liebster Award.  How sweet is that?  Since I've accepted a few in my early days of blogging, I thought rather than doing a full "award acceptance" post it'd be fun to answer Kylie's questions in this week's 5 Loves.  Thanks again for the nomination, Kylie!  Here are some A's to your Q's...

1.  Why did you start your blog?

5.  Describe your idea of the perfect day.

Here's what an ideal day in my area would look like...

6.  What are three things you never leave home without?

This time of year I often head out for walks without toting a bag, so I'll go with...

iPhone,  cute sneakers, & a smile

7.  Would you rather live in a small town or a busy city?

I see great benefits to both, so I'd be happy in either!  If Hart of Dixie's small town, Bluebell, were a real place I'd be packing up a.s.a.p.! ;)

8.  What is your biggest pet peeve?

Poor customer service is my biggest pet peeve.  This stems from my time working in retail management.  I'm appalled by the apathy in stores and restaurants these days.  If you are getting paid to do a job, just do it with a smile.  If you can't muster one, find a different job where you aren't working with people. 

9.  What is your favorite vacation spot?

Walt Disney World!

10.  What is one quality that you admire in other people?

Humility

"Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips." - Proverbs 27:2

Tickled pink that you stopped by today!  Wishing you a fabulous upcoming weekend!
