I’m pumped it’s Friday! I get to see my whole family tonight at my favorite Mexican restaurant…my little sister is in town from Louisiana! I also started on our playroom re-do, so hopefully I can have that painted this weekend! Plus, it’s cleaning day around here and I’m taking the kids to the gym for the first time today. Praying they (Maddox) do well and don’t freak out. And to top it off, my 3.5 year old might be fully potty trained (crossing my fingers)…AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!
Last month, I shared a free printable with you guys and wanted to continue that this month as well. I’ve been busy just keeping up with orders, so it was fun to finally sit down and design a little. Just right click on the second image below, save to your computer, and print! It’s sized to be an 8×10, but your printer should be able to print whatever you want (mine does in the printing options window when I open up the image from where I saved it). I think it would look good in a solid black or gold frame.
Other than the favorites I first mentioned, here are some favorites this week…
SPENDING TIME WITH MADDOX
I’ve really been enjoying my one on one time with Maddox while Beckham is at preschool. He’s just so happy and is at the age where he’s learning so much. I could just watch him all day long. And he cuddles me…B never really did that.
TALKING WITH BECKHAM
Three years old is a crazy age. One second I’m so frustrated with behavior and the next, I’m balling my eyes out because I’m realizing how big he’s getting. We have real conversations and this kid is really funny! The things he says crack me up all day long. And considering he doesn’t have a “talking voice” and shouts everything, it can be embarrassing. “Mom, I went poop in the potty so I get a bike?” Oh geez.
THESE FLUFFY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES
I love pancakes and this has got to be my favorite recipe. The buttermilk really does make a difference. I made them exactly as the recipe calls for. Click HERE for the recipe.
GREY’S ANATOMY
Ryan and I (thankful for a hubby who will watch this with me) just finished Season 10 and now we are a few episodes into the latest season. This show is definitely one of my favorites. We try to watch at least one episode a night…that’s all we have time for these days. I’m pretty sure I know what the latest catastrophic event was based on my Facebook feed, but I’m playing dumb and waiting to see the episode.
GLASSES
I’m not really sure this is a favorite of mine, but I really need to go pick out some glasses. It’s such an overwhelming decision when you’re picking out glasses for the first time. I tried on several at the doctor’s office and the black framed and tortious framed ones looked best. Similar to these…
Hope you enjoy the free printable and tag me on Instagram if you use it (@snyderstellall or @joyfulartdesigns)…I’d love to see it in real life 🙂 Happy Weekend!
I love connecting. You can find me on Facebook, Instagram(@snyderstellall) and Pinterest.
Link Ups: Friday Favorites with Andrea and Erika
Hey Olivia!
Thanks for the cute free printable! I came across this blog post today about reasons to shop at Aldi and I thought you would be interested! I knew this girl when I lived in California and she writes a pretty convincing post…. I'm going to check it out on my next grocery trip.

Thank you Katherine! I will have to check it out. We've tried Aldi before, but it's a little ways away from us 🙁 We have a Winco that is really comparable like that. We like it too, but for some reason, never go there. I'm going to do an experiment and shop there (Winco) one month and see how it compares to my normal grocery budget. I'm surprised we don't have an Aldi closer by, but I'm sure they'll build one in the future…our city is very quickly growing so new things are popping up daily! Thanks again…I love reading things like this.
Thank you for the free printable!! I love it. I love printing these and using them as the cover of my planner (which is actually a binder that I've turned into a planner).
P.S. What did you end up getting your hubby for his bday? I love your gift giving posts. I have the WORST time staying in my budget when it comes to buying gifts. This is the season for Mothers/Fathers Day, baby showers, weddings, birthdays, etc, so my spending is getting a little out of control!
Anyway, happy Friday! Love reading your blog as always! 🙂
I got him some Reef sandals, an ice cream maker, a Rangers shirt, an alarm clock, and a $10 gift card to Smoothie King. Clearly, I have issues with self control and birthdays. My Etsy shop has allowed me to spend more "fun" money than I normally would, although April thru October (when Ryan is not reffing) it also pays bills 🙂 I'm really no help in the "budget" dept. when it comes to gift giving.
Thanks for the printable! I sent you s pic on Instagram of how I used the one you shared last month. Love it!
Wishing I was having Mexican food, but exited about the weekend, nonetheless.
Hi Gretchen,
I didn't see it 🙁 But thank you.
I sent it direct message 🙂
Thank you for the printable, I think it will look great in my daughter's room (re-doing her room over summer break). It sounds like you have a fun weekend planned. And you are right, picking out glasses can be very overwhelming. I like having a lot of options, but it makes it hard to come to a decision!
