Friday Favorites

This has been such a beautiful week weather wise! I absolutely love sitting outside in the sunshine, with SPF 70 covering ever inch of my face. Damn pregnancy induced melasma! Anyone else suffer from that??? But anyway... I can't wait for more beautiful weather this weekend. I see lots of outdoor play in our future. 

For todays post, I thought I would share some of my favorite things from this week. 

I made this pasta dish for dinner last night. It's spinach and artichoke pasta. SOOOO good! I got the recipe from The Pioneer Women. I changed it up a little and added chicken to the dish too. I left out the extra hot pepper (to avoid heart burn later), but used pepper jack cheese to give it a little extra kick. I also forgot to add the panko breadcrumbs at the end, because by that time I was just thinking, "GET IN MY BELLY!" My husband and Makenna both gave it two thumbs up. 

My husband got me this necklace for mothers day. It's from Olive Yew. It's both of our daughters initials. Silver with a rose gold heart in the middle. I couldn't get my shadow out of the heart, but it's really a nice rose gold color. I LOVE it!! I was going to wait till E was born, but I think I might start wearing it now. 

We are going to Cape May this summer for a week. I can not wait! What I can wait for is having to wear a bathing suit at the beach. Big thumbs down since i'll be 30+ weeks pregnant. I remember going to the beach when I was pregnant with Makenna. People just stare at you like they have never seen a pregnant person before. I wasn't even wearing a bikini! I found this swimsuit at ASOS. If I'm going to look like a beached whale, I might as well look like a cute one. p.s. I will absolutely look nothing like this not really pregnant model.

I read, A Fault In Our Stars by John Green, in less than 24 hours this week. I am a super fast reader to begin with, but I could not put it down. I even went old school and read in bed with a flashlight to finish it. I of course was basically sobbing at some parts. It was a great book.

Now I am in the search of some good summer reading books! If anyone has any suggestions feel free to share. I will read just about anything and everything. 

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
