Another weekend is here, praise the Lord!
I’m happy to be linking up with April, Natasha, and Christina; Karli; Erika, Narci, and Andrea for Five on Friday, Oh Hey Friday!, and Friday Favorites.
ONE: Starting this list off with some pretty dresses from Asos that are making me want spring and summer to get here even faster!
Fashion Union Smock Dress with Lace Inserts
Pom Pom Beach Back Dress, also comes in black, + another cute pom pom back cover-up
Floral Embellished Maxi Dress (Perfect if you will be attending a wedding OR gorgeous for a family/couples photoshoot!)
TWO: Sarah, with Jessica‘s help, started a women’s/moms’ group recently, and I am really enjoying it! Getting to know some new people, and share mom stories, prayer requests, struggles, and joys, is life-giving. Jessica suggested that we start by reading Jen Hatmaker’s book For the Love. I am halfway through and I LOVE it. I would highly recommend this book! It is a great mix of light-hearted and hilarious, along with encouragement and practical Jesus-loving, child-rearing advice.
THREE: If you’re looking for some food inspiration, you should check out Charlotte Food Bloggers! I am excited to be a new member of this group! You can peruse the member directory for a list of local bloggers.
FOUR: Do you like Reese’s peanut butter cups?! If you do, but you’d like a healthier alternative, I have another recipe this week that you definitely need to try! I wish I could take credit for this one, but this is from oh she glows. I made her Raw Almond Butter Cups, and they are seriously good. I made them mini, and I used raw cacao powder instead of basic cocoa powder. My little “assistant” couldn’t wait to get those cute hands on one…then he immediately asked for another. 🙂 (It’s best to keep them in the freezer – which is why they look a little frosted).
FIVE: So, mine and Todd’s Valentine’s plans fell through last weekend. Davis was sick for 5 days. 🙁 But we are able to go on a date tonight! And we are finally trying Kindred! I can’t wait! I’m sure I will post food pics on instagram.
Have a wonderful weekend! Thank you for stopping by!

I can’t wait to make those almond butter cups! I haven’t tried cacao powder, so this is a great chance for me to use it. Also, all of those dresses are perfect. I am obsessed with the floor length blush number!

OMG those Raw Almond Butter Cups look delicious. Were they hard to make? Now I want chocolate.

I am very sorry for the delay! No they were not hard to make. 🙂 Especially because they do not require any baking. I highly recommend them
