Finally it is Saturday and time is really flying around here. This week was definitely a busy one, but all good things did occur. I am always entering other’s raffles and recently I won a few wonderful prizes worth mentioning.
I was so very lucky to win a Donut Cake Pan from Kelly over at The Real Housewife. Emma truly loved this pan and I am purchasing a cake mix to try and make her this Donut Cake this weekend, because she hasn’t stopped talking about it since we received it in the mail.
And, also we received “Belt” and matching movie poster from the movie The Croods, which was the first movie my girls saw recently in the movie theatre for those who can recall from Jen over at Boogie N Boo-Boos.
Belt From The Croods!!And, also spring officially arrived in the form of my Snow-Bird aunts who returned from Florida this past week. We did indeed have a very lovely visit catching up after the long, cold winter. The girls had a blast filling in their coloring books with stickers and eating Teddy Grams that the aunts brought them.
And yes it is definitely the weekend now and time to catch up with my weekly recap now!!
On Sunday, I gave a bit more on my tasty affiliation to Jamba Juice with explaining which of their smoothies is my favorite to drink when I want to feel like I am on a tropical excursion for more on this click here.
On Monday, I overshared with one of my besties, the very own Minivan Momma and her TMI Mom: Oversharing My Life Book Review and giveaway, too. Read the original post and also enter the raffle below (still time to win a copy her very funny and hilarious e- book), if you haven’t already here.
On Tuesday, I offered a glimpse into my pre-marital life, my engagement and even early marriage with Old School Blogging: Marriage Style, click here to find out more.
On Wednesday, I decided I would love to share a pictures of a Lily with both my aunts, who were visiting us today from just returning this week from Florida (the Snowbirds Returned Home) for another successful Flashback Wednesday. To see Lily and my lovely aunts, go here.
On Thursday, I offered my reader’s a tasty and fun review from another one of my besties (Lanaya from Raising Reagan) from blogging with her playful Toy Store and yummy toy review of this kids’ smoothie maker. For more on this and for the wonderful offer from her, click here.
On Friday, yet another Finish the Sentence Friday linkup went live with the sentence to finish being, “I thought I was so cool when I….”. To linkup if you haven’t or just to find out when I was cool, as well as when others were, too, click here.
And now that another Saturday is indeed upon us, I hope you too have a wonderful, fun weekend. I know that is a loaded sentence and sentiment if you are a mom. My weekend as I said is filled with craziness in the form of my two girls and Kevin, too. Dance this morning, running errands and then not sure what else just yet, but sure we will find something to fill up our time. So much to do, so little time to get it all done!!
Also for the upcoming week, this past week’s giveaway is ending on Monday morning and another giveaway is coming up (think photo obsession and mobile devices), as well more Flashback Wednesday action and keep in mind that Finish the Sentence Friday will be happening again and as always going live this Thursday night at 10 pm EST!! And that is a wrap-up!!

You have had a busy week … I'm sorry I missed some of those posts as I was pretty busy myself. Can't wait to see what's on the agenda for next week.
Love you mama. Have a great weekend with your beautiful family!
I get to go home today, drive three hours to get there, then I have a race tonight, Zumba and Raising Imperfection tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get to relax at some point next week! Yikes!
