Linking up with Darci for Five on Friday!

So two weekends ago, when I was laid up with my sprained ankle and couldn't do anything, I watched the whole 1st season of Kendra On Top On Demand.

Yes, all 14 (or something like that) episodes. Anyone else LOVE On Demand like I do? Love it! And I still love her, so I was all about it. I just saw that season 2 starts in mid-September! Yahoo!! Great. Just what I need. Another show to add to my list.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you have seen that I finally bought Hailey her very own potty over this last weekend and everything is going SO well. I know it's only Friday and it hasn't even been a full week, but we are making HUGE strides in the right direction.  At home AND at school! Yay! I don't want to jinx it, so I'm gonna wait a week or two to do more of a full post about it. Hopefully more to come on this topic next week if everything keeps progressing great!

Another huge decision that we made this last week is to send Hailey to daycare a/k/a school full-time. Starting next week. As in this coming Tuesday after the holiday. Also, she's moving up from the Toddler room to the Pre Pre-School room. Yes, you read that right. The Pre Pre-School room. Somebody hold me. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this. It's all happening way too fast. Everything all at once. Make. It. Stop.

Today is my first State Fair Day. Usually by this time I've gone at least twice. I feel so late to the game, but with my ankle and the heat, I haven't wanted to venture out there yet. But today is the day. I am currently at the fair taking in all my favorites. I'm planning on going on Saturday and maybe Monday, too, depending on when other family/friends decide to go.

And last, but not least, since I have today off and am at the fair, that means I get a 4 day weekend! Holla!!

Have a great weekend friends!

I'm linking up with Neely today.



Never, Ever, Ever...

will I hate taking a nap. I love my sleep, what can I say.

are there enough hours in the day. Never.

would I hate our summers here in Minnesota. Ever.

will I not own at least one dog. As hard as it is sometimes, they complete me.

stop being grateful for my wonderful family. Their support is like nothing else.

would I say no to going to the State Fair. I won't be going until this Friday. Wah!

would I hate sleeping in. Like I said, I LOVE my sleep.

I'm LOVING these two songs this week. On repeat. Both of them.

"Can't Believe It" by Flo Rida feat. Pitbull [Official Music Video]



I love everything Flo Rida and Pitbull put out. So this is perfect. And once again, I first heard it in my Zumba class and had to do some investigating.

"Wake Me Up" by Avicii (Official Video)



DJ Avicii's real name is Tim. He is from Sweden and best known for his house music. He is the one that is mixing the music. The vocals on this song are Aloe Blacc and there is work on this song from Incubus' Mike Einziger. I loved Incubus back in the day. Avicii's new album, True, is set to be released in September and I'm so excited!



Happy Monday y'all!

Linking up with Darci again for Five on Friday.



Not too much going on in my life other than my stupid ankle. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that last Saturday was NOT a fun day. More on that one later. It's been inhibiting me in all aspects of my life, including getting anything done on this blog, much less in real life. I hate it. It pretty much sucks, but what can you do. Nothing. I just gotta roll with punches.





Yay for new Britney! Today is actually 24 days, but because I did this post yesterday, it says 25.





I love these new royal family pictures. I love how they are just chillin outside with their babe and their pups and it's not so formal. They look like actual real people.





Did you hear the other great news? The Obama's got another new pup? Bo and Sunny. I can't stand the cuteness.





And lastly cause I can't do a post lately with-out mentioning it, the MN State Fair is in full swing as of yesterday. I found their instagram and love seeing all the pictures.



Peace out! And happy weekend to all!
