Five on Friday

September 11, 2015

It’s F R I D A Y!!!  Don’t you wish every week could just have 4 days?!  This week has been a whirlwind, in a good way!

I am linking up with April, Christina, Natasha; Karli; Erika, Narci, and Andrea.

ONE: Obviously Fall is on everyone’s mind, including mine.  When I saw this Apple Cider Mimosa that my mom had pinned, saving it was a must.  And I already have an occasion in mind when this cocktail will be served!  Cannot wait.  Champagne + fall flavors…yes please.

TWO: A few Bauble Bar must-haves for Fall.  I was randomly looking at their site the other day and immediately knew I had to share these pieces of jewelry.  I love all of these for the upcoming season! (you can click on the picture to see more details)

THREE: Todd and I were not supposed to do much for our anniversary (9 years), but of course he broke the rule.  He brought home these beautiful flowers, and he has planned an over-the-top date for next weekend (more to come after the date!).  You know what I got him?  A basketball.  Fail – major wife fail.  And I got him cards (one funny, one serious), but I left them at the checkout counter at Target.  Boo! But he wasn’t a bit mad about it.  I married up for sure!

FOUR: We’ve been trying to fit in more workouts recently.  Our schedules are crazy, but we’ve either tried to go to the gym (my neighbor is a great accountability partner for me with this, thank goodness!), ran around the neighborhood, or worked out early in the morning.  I feel a hundred times better when I’m in a pattern of working out regularly!  I love this motivation: (Thank you, buzzfeed)

FIVE: I busted out my old flare jeans for church this past Sunday!

Here are some pieces similar to mine in this outfit.*

This weekend is jam-packed, but I’m looking forward to it.  I’m sure I will be posting way too much on instagram, if you’d like to keep up. 😉  Speaking of, I haven’t started using snapchat yet.  Am I the only one?!

I hope you all have a happy Friday!

    I’m definitely going to have to make some Apple Cider Mimosa’s as soon as I have this baby. Those look delicious. I couldn’t be more excited for flare jeans to be back in style. Although my husband is probably going to love it more because he hates the skinny jean trend!! haha. xox, Annie – HomeofMalones

      Thank you, Amy! It’s an adjustment to wear a different type after years of skinnies. 😉

    Hello Lindsay,

    Let me first start off by saying your family is so stinkin cute! I love that outfit! Your husband did an amazing job at picking out those flowers. My boyfriend just moved to Charlotte in May and I will be moving there after I finish grad school in Indiana. I absolutely loved Charlotte when I visited. Do you have any favorite places to go? If you get a chance, I would love for you to check out my blog: http://thesweetlifediaryofahealthnut.blogspot.com . Congrats on nine years!

    xoxo Tori

      Hi Tori! Yay for moving to Charlotte! We love it. There are some great parks and greenways – Freedom Park is beautiful. We enjoy 7th Street Market for coffee and lunch/brunch. Restaurants: Cowfish, Good Eats, The Summit Room, Dressler’s, Five Church, RuRu’s, etc. Plenty of good food here! There are also a lot of breweries. For a fun outside one, try Olde Mecklenburg Brewery. If you’re looking for a church, we go to Elevation Church. South Park Mall is great for shopping. I hope that helps!!
