Friday Favorites

TGIF! Here's some things I'm loving this week

• I went to a Spouse's Luncheon at Olive Garden on Sunday. It was a great chance to meet some new people and eat some good food! I was pretty excited to see that Olive Garden had a Gluten Free menu & my meal was incredible! Yay, Olive Garden!
• Joe watched the baby girl tonight, so I could go grocery shopping solo. Not that I don't love being with her but it was so nice to be out by myself for a bit, even if it was just the grocery store. 
• Did you know that Green Giant (the frozen vegetable company) makes chips? I found some today at the commissary...they were surprisingly good! I would know, since I've eaten 75% of the bag! They're made by the vegetable company, so they're healthy, right? :) 
• Also, discovered Peepsters today! If you like Peeps & chocolate, you will like these! I am happy to report that I haven't eaten 75% of the bag...yet. 
• My Grandparent's celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary! They are such an incredible inspiration to me!

Celebrating my Grandmother's Birthday back in January 

• We got cable tv this week. I can't even remember the last time we had cable but it's nice to relax with a show for a bit. 
• Love phone chats, g-chats, Skype dates with my family and friends! Bonus because we are all finally on the same coast! 
• The snow! As Joe said, NNY does have seasons, there is a noticeable difference between Winter at  -10 and Spring at 23 degrees! 

My backyard this morning 

• We sold some furniture this week! Excited to get rid of some things we didn't need and acquire some extra cash. I moved Milo's play toy up on top of a chair, so it would be out of the way. It's now his new favorite hiding place! One of the guys who picked up a chair we were selling had just moved from Schofield Barracks, HI and was going to be stationed at the same base that Joe's Brother is at - small world!

The Milo Cat 

• This little baby girl continues to amaze me daily! She rolled over for the first time this week, Peek-a-boo is one of her favorite games & she loves to stick out her tongue! She brings us such joy! 



I love her hat! Thanks to a dear friend, I have one just like it! 

StitchFix

Shopping after having a baby has been basically non-existent! I went to Target and was unable to try on even two pairs of pants without having to tend to the baby. She's cute, so I don't mind too much but I definitely could use a more convenient way to shop! I heard about StitchFix from some blogs I read so I figured I'd give it a try! I filled out a Style Questionnaire, paid $20, and scheduled my first "fix". A stylist at StitchFix, picks 5 items to send - you can try them on at home, keep what works and send back what dosen't. It's a fun way to try on some new clothes and get some new wardrobe options.

In my StitchFix, I received a pair of black pants, a purple top, a gold lace necklace, a black & coral dress and a bohemian-style top. I was really impressed with the quality of the items & I thought the fit was pretty good as well. Each item contained a card with a description of the item along with different ways to style it. All in all, I was pretty impressed! It was a fun little experience and a nice way to try on some new clothes and experiment with different styles.

PS: StitchFix doesn't know I exist, just passing on some info about an interesting service that I thought others might enjoy as well.
