Goodbye January…
Hello, February!
I hope this month continues in the same upswing as last month.
It started out great…it’s my sweetie’s birthday 
Happy birthday Kimm!!!
Plans for today…first the food because food is GOOD–bagels/cream cheese for breakfast, pizza, fries and Frosty for lunch, taco salad and ice cream cake for dessert! Mmmm!
Presents were opened…
Don’t you just love how Izzy has to get in on the action
The ONLY bad part about today…that I have to go in to work tonight. Oh well, I’m going to just chuck it up to luck of the schedule (my weekend on) and put a smile on my face and just look forward to my next days off.
Enjoy my favorites from around the web this week…
Favorite snack-y bite…this Super Easy Bean Dip looks creamy, cheesy and oh so delicious! Maybe I’ll make it for the Superbowl??
Favorite frugal post…32 Stay-At-Home Date Night Ideas (plus Links to 350+ more ideas!). Perfect for anyone who wants to spend special time with their loved one AND save money!!
Favorite veggie…Cauliflower “Rice”–I SO want to try this…I don’t eat a lot of cauliflower due to Kimm not liking it so much, but maybe making it like this, it’ll be a win!
Favorite finance post…My Five Tenets of Financial Independence. THIS is what I’m working towards, and making good progress.
Favorite chocolate bites…yep there’s two! And from the same blog…Averie Cooks! This woman really knows how to bake some great looking sweets!

Favorite truths…
Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!!!
I die laughing every time I see that photo of how I really look running because I’m pretty sure I look even more ridiculous. And the one about the treadmill is so true. I may have reconciled my feelings about the treadmill, but wow does that thing make time drag. Maybe the treadmill is the fountain of youth because time actually stands still while it keeps moving along.
Oh wow that coconut smoothie looks incredible. I’m all about Trader Joe’s light coconut milk right now. Great post Kaye. I always learn something new, find great new recipes and get inspired when you post your Friday Favorites. Thanks.
Ha ha Aimee…I figured you might find those running ones funny
SO TRUE how time seems to stand still on the treadmill!
Happy Bday to Kimm! Thanks for linking 3 of my posts – brownies, cake, and the smoothie! I’m honored and so glad you like them! Looks like a great bday & enjoy the weekend!
