Five on Friday

August 14, 2015

I’m going to get this post done as quickly as possible!  I think I have the post-vacation disorganization blues or something – cannot get it together this week!

I’m linking up with April; Karli; Erika, Narci, and Andrea.  Happy Friday!

ONE: We’re tapping into our Southern, country-music-loving side of ourselves tonight and going to the Florida Georgia Line concert!  We’re going with some of our best friends, who are not even country music fans (they’re good sports!).  Should be a fun time!  I haven’t been to a concert in FOREVER, so I am not really sure what to wear.  Here’s what I’m thinking.

TWO: Flashing back to Tuesday morning.  An hour spent on the waterway off Topsail Island riding jet skis with Todd, his dad, his younger brother and his girlfriend, and his little sister.  So fun!

THREE: I want to try making acai bowls at home.  Does anyone buy acai puree in Charlotte?  I’m assuming Whole Foods would have it, but I’ve also heard it can be found at Costco.  I’m planning to look next time I go!

FOUR: Todd and I have felt pretty rough this week.  It is allergies I think, but I’ve had an awful sinus headache for 5 days straight.  I’ve tried using natural methods to heal, including essential oils, manuka honey in tea, and I made some chicken soup from scratch. I made the broth, which I think is the key to a great soup.  It is chicken and rice, with kale. Comfort food always helps!

    That soup looks so good! I’ve been on a soup kick lately, which is crazy because it’s like a millions degrees in Phoenix, so definitely not soup weather! I’m going to try chicken, rice and kale next week! Have a great weekend!
