The team started strong this season but too many yellow flags and injured players hurt their winning streak. Thankfully, they came out on top at Friday night's game and I look forward to see how they do tonight!
Ethan ended up getting pictures taken with a view!
So for around $5, I had a tablecloth, plates, a mesh table runner, plasticware, and a tacky bow (hey, it was boys ok??)! Thank you Dollar General.
Extra bonus? This letter board came in the mail with my Causebox subscription - for a peek hop on over to Wednesday's post!
Sarasota Adventures Continue
In between homeschool and high school, I'm squeezing in my local shop visits...mainly coffee and gelato. I can't help myself!
Gelato-Go Sarasota
My new favorite spot for gelato. Everything is made from scratch daily. I walk in and ask for tiramisu and coffee every time. So when I visited this weekend, I made myself try something different. The pineapple is incredibly refreshing. Now I'll be torn when I go! They also make specialty coffees, which I tried while meeting up with a friend.
Look at the beautiful display from Breaking Wave Coffee, also located in downtown Sarasota! Right outside their coffee shop are one of the decorated bikes by a local artist, known as Dr. Nik. It's my intention to find them all!
We closed out the weekend with a sunset swim at our one of our favorite beaches. Dad can fish while the kids play. Isn't is beautiful?
Oh my goodness that beach looks so inviting! And what a lovely job you did for the boys' party! They are blessed to have a mother like you!
ReplyDeleteNancy, that's the sweetest thing to say. It's hard not to look at all the ways I fall short, so what a blessing to hear someone point out some of the wins! :)
DeleteSuch handsome boys Chrissy and you were the hostess with the mostest! That table was so cute and how lucky that their school colors are everywhere right now! Those coffees are so beautiful and that bike is fantastic! Enjoy your time with your sister - I know your heart will be so full!!!

ReplyDeleteJill - Doused in Pink
Thank you Jill. It was such a nice time. And you know what's funny? None of the boys noticed, but I knew ahead of time that I was doing it for me. lol!
DeleteOh my goodness all your pictures are wonderful! I love the decorations from the dollar store...what a good mom! And those coffees look ridiculously delicious! And the beach scenes make me long for a trip to the beach. Enjoy your visit with your sister. How very exciting!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kristin! I hope you're doing well!! The coffees are so good, I'd love one now! When is your next beach trip?
DeleteSuch handsome fellas there!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that little letter board. They are just the cutest little accessory
Thank you Rebecca Jo! I hope you're having a great week!
DeleteOh, that coffee place looks so good! I love a good cup of specialty coffee. What flavor did you go?
ReplyDeleteMe too! I ordered a good old fashioned cappuccino both times. These little shops are close to me so that may get me into trouble!
DeleteDarling spread for homecoming. Your sons are snappy dresser and real cutie pies. Love the sunset beach photos. Hope you have had the best time with your sister. I miss mine everyday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Leslie. You're so sweet. I can't get enough of these Florida sunrises and sunsets - just gorgeous!
DeleteI love getting party supplies at dollar stores! You can beat it! I hope you have so much fun with your sister!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura! We did have the sweetest visit. I am looking forward to the next one!
DeleteIt looks like you're having so much fun and enjoying Florida! Dollar store is my go to for party supplies because they are so cheap! Haha! Cute pics with your boys!

I need to pop into the dollar store more often! And we are trying to go on as many adventures as possible b/c you never know how long you'll be somewhere, right??
DeleteYes Julie! Those are my thoughts exactly. I know my boys don't believe me, but I think high school is the time to enjoy life without the extra responsibility etc of a romantic relationship!
ReplyDeleteYet again, I found myself smiling through this entire post! That picture of you and the boys is priceless! And now I must ask...how tall are you? And how tall are they?
ReplyDeleteI always forget about Dollar General for decorations. I must remember that.
I am so glad that Sarasota is proving to be a wonderful move all around for your family! Thanks for sharing and linking up with me, my friend.
