Yeah for Friday!

  Yeah for Friday!!!!
Today I am joining all the fun parties below...


The five best gifts I have received this year!!!


ONE:  My birthday was in May and my siblings got me this baby!! I will be testing it out next week at the beach!! YIPPEE!! It is a lounge chair that has holes so you can lay on your belly and stick your arms through the holes and your head through a hole and read a book UNDER your chair-WHAT?!?! Total game changer at the beach!!! I will let you know how awesome it is next week!! :-)



TWO: One of my very favorite people, that I just happen to sponsor in AA, just had an anniversary! She is ten years sober!! Such a great milestone, right?!? Well, she got me this. Isn't it beautiful?!?! I was like, "Why did you get me a gift? It is your celebration?" But I love it so very much!!! It is so awesome watching others succeed and start having fabulous lives!! What a gift she is in my life! It is a hand-carved collapsible display bowl-love it!!!


THREE:  Another friend got this for my birthday! I love Himalayan salt lamps! They feel so zen and may even have health benefits!!!! I now how one in every room of my home!!! You can read about the benefits HERE.
FOUR:  My sister got me this for Christmas three years ago and it is something I still use EVERYDAY!! I made my pesto in it this year when the blender bailed out on me and I have a spinach shake every morning for a little health! HA! 


FIVE:  My sister in law and brother got me these from their children last year and they are awesome! It is a little smaller than a dinner plate so it helps me with portion control and it is so fun to cut up your food and decorate their faces!! There are a couple different ones...I have two!! Fred and the one below is his wife. LOL!

I just really wanted to share those with you! I love them all and they truly are my current favorites!!! Thank you all for stopping by and spending a little time with me on this beautiful Friday! I hope everyone has a great weekend!! I will be reporting in from the BEACH!!  YIPPEE!!


Were did you go on vacation this year? or where are you going to be going? Any fun gifts you have received lately? Hugs!

  1. That dinner plate is adorable … and yes, I like using smallish dishes to make it appear there's more food to be had! Whoever said not to play with one's food was sure a spoil-sport … lol!

  2. That chair is a great idea. I hope it's comfortable. Will be interested to see how much reading you get done. Enjoy your trip.

  3. That dinner plate is such a great idea for portion control and to perhaps slow you down as you eat. I eat MUCH too fast. The beach chair is fantastic! Can't wait to hear about your beach time and how it worked for you! Happy weekend!

    1. Hi Terri! As I said above, the chair broke on day one! Such a bummer too because we were so excited to use it! There was hardly any sand on it and the legs stopped working - we couldn’t fold it or unfold it!

  4. Scott got a Nutri bullet for Christmas. We used to have a magic bullet (2) but finally wore them out lol. This one doesn't seem like it's going to last long either. It's SUPER LOUD because something is messed up on it already but he still loves it for making eggs lol. I'll probably just replace the broken piece for him soon!

    1. Hey Julie… I use mine every day and it's lasted forever. I don't do shakes with Ice though… I use frozen fruit. I've heard the ice makes them die quicker? Not sure if this is true or not. I think you can buy all the parts for them on Amazon really reasonably .
