Five Loves on Friday

Happy Friday, friends!  I hope you've enjoyed a fantastic week!  If not there's good news, the weekend is coming pronto!  It was a pretty low key week here.  I'm certain I can still find a handful of loves to share though, so let's do this!  Five Loves time!

One  //  All the Seasons, All This Week


A peek at our week of weather weirdness

The ongoing joke around here is if you don't like the weather wait five minutes.  So true this week!  Today we're expecting snow, but just a couple days ago our windows were open as we enjoyed some gloriously gorgeous unseasonably warm weather!  While we're trading in shorts for snow shovels, I'm reminding myself that one of the things I love about living in the Midwest is experiencing all the seasons.  It's a little interesting when we seemingly go through most of them all in one week though!

Two  //  Nailing Fab Frugal Finds!

When Essie polish is on clearance that's awesome.  When you can take another 30% off and have it sent right to your front door for free, it's even better!  Four lit'l bottles for under $4 shipped?  Yes, please and thank you!  Loving these new shades I have to play with!  *I purchased these on sale from Kohls.com.  They're now sold out or I'd happily share a link for you here.

Three  //  Floral Fabulousness


Laura Ashley Ainsley Tablecloth // Kohl's

I have a thing for pretty tablecloths!  This loveliness was calling my name when I spotted it on clearance, plus the aforementioned extra 30% & free shipping Kohl's offered last week.  It arrived yesterday and I adore it!  There are some green petals in the mix that resemble shamrocks ensuring this will grace my table from St. Patrick's Day season on into the sweet springtime to come!

Four  //  Shaking Things up Around the Table & Finding New Recipe Keepers!

My goal this year has been to try at least one new main course recipe each week.  This week's menu newbie, Easy French Dip Sliders, was such a hit!  Simple and sensational, the best combo!

Full Recipe Here

Roast beef, melted provolone, crunchy french fried onions, all on sweet Hawaiian rolls covered in a delicious au jus, these were amazing!  They'll most definitely be added to my regular meal rotation!

Also this week, I whipped up a new-to-us dessert, Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars.  YUMmmm!

Full recipe here

As you can probably tell, I didn't wait the suggested hour of cooling before cutting into these babies, but that was a-okay with me as ooey gooey chocolate is one of my favorite things on the planet!  These, my friends, are worth baking A.S.A.P.!  My husband isn't even really a sweets fan and when I asked if he'd like a second he said, "One more would be great!  Those are fantastic!  Great job!"  What more could I hope for from any recipe?  My day was made and my taste buds were dancing!

Five  //  Glowing Goodies for our Next WDW Vacation!

Since our next Disney vacation will be during the Christmas season I couldn't resist these beauties on clearance especially during Disney Store's free shipping offer!  (I know, you may see a pattern here.  Free shipping and discounts on top of discounts are my jam!)  Anywho, these are even cuter in person than they were online!  Little One and I will be lighting up the night twinning in these by year's end!  I don't want to wish a single day away, but I am super excited about our next magical family adventure!  *These appear to be sold out now too.  I'd link them if I could. ;)

Thanks for popping by today!  Wishing you a fantastic Friday and lovely upcoming weekend!
