Five Things on Friday

It's Friday which means it's time for a little Five on Friday.  This week I am bringing you some spring favorites with a sprinkle of national puppy day.  With a line up like that, what's not to love?  As always, I am linking up with Liz.

1.  Easter:
I am SO excited it is Easter!  My parents are coming to spend the weekend with us and it will be so great to show them around town a bit and see our new house. We're hoping to do a nice brunch after Sunday church and later we have a potluck with our Life Group.  

2.  National Puppy Day

I just loved National Puppy Day and a chance to remember my puppy girl a bit.  I am sure this is how parents feel when they look at pictures of their baby, but when I look a little Ellie I can't help but think how did I let her grow up?  She is a terror for most of her puppy years but looking back at the photos you wouldn't know it.  Cheers to puppy's everywhere, you are the answer to the world's problems puppies.

3.  Patio Lights

Patio Lights

A few weeks ago Rich strung the rest of our lights in our back patio.  I LOVE turning them on at night and seeing how magical our back yard becomes.  But why I am really sharing this with you is due to the awesome deal we got at Costco for these lights.  We were able to buy two seats and basically have full light coverage in the backyard.  They are high quality and will withstand most weather.  If you have a Costco membership, you can score these lights here!

4.  Amazon Guest Room Duvet Deal

White Duvet Cover

With family and guests coming more this spring, I finally needed to execute on a cover to the duvet I bought for the guestroom.  Cue Amazon to the rescue.  This beautiful white cover arrived in two days (thanks Prime!) and what a beauty it was!  I was thrilled with the price tag!  If something get spilled or ruined on it-no big deal to replace this guy.  And white bedding is my jam. Did I mention it came with two matching shams too?

5.  Fire Pit  in the Spring Time

One of my biggest wish list items in our new house has been a fire pit for the backyard.  I had a vision for our backyard being a great entertaining space for friends and family for these years and a fire pit was a great next step.  Rich did a great job tricking me into thinking it wasn't going to happen anytime soon when he told me they aren't on sale this time of year, but was so thrilled and surprised to come home to one on a Friday afternoon!  We've tried twice now to get a good fire going but unfortunately haven't had any luck.  Here is to hoping this is the weekend!  you can score this same fire pit at Lowes here.
