5 on Friday

Grab button for FIVE ON FRIDAY AT THE GOOD LIFE BLOG
Cheers to the lovely linkup creators: Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha!


FAMILY
My sissy shared the pics from her engagement party in Greenwich this week. I love this picture with my beautiful mama and bridey sister. Seeing this made me miss them so much!

Hope in a Blog: Greenwich Engagement Party
CHEERS...IN THE OFFICE!
I visited my hubby at work while dropping this strawberry salad off for a potluck lunch. Can I just say that I love and adore how some of Mark's colleagues added this decor to his office!? CHEERS!

I am the Type A in the relationship. Mark is Type B. Obviously. And I love him for it. :)

TOAST
You totally may have seen this on Insta already, but I have been anticipating this deliciousness every morning this week. So darn good.

Toast + Coconut PB + Cinnamon + Chia Seeds [as seen here]

EARLY MORNING MARCHS
Speaking of mornings...I have to say, I am loving this new morning routine. I hope it sticks and that loving the stillness of a quiet morning becomes more of a habit and a privilege. We shall see! So far, so good.

Before yesterday...I don't know if I've ever moved clothes from the washer to the dryer in the 5 AM hour. Not gonna lie, it felt pretty awesome. And that even happened after my time In the Word [alongside a cup of coffee]. Who am I?! I don't even know.

NEXT WEEK...GUESS WHAT?!
Because spring makes me super happy. And who doesn't love winning free things, right?!


  Cheers to the weekend!
