Friday Favorites

September 15, 2017

This week’s Friday Favorites consist of ugly storm trooper cupcakes, crazy face pictures and children’s overalls. 

Today, I’m linking up with Momfessionals and sharing my Friday Favorites for this week. Last weekend, we celebrated our son, JJ turning 8. As always, I planned it last minute (night before) and invited our neighbors. We grilled burgers, hot dogs and I made the most hideous storm trooper cupcakes. Jimmy made a bunch of DIY light sabers. I love how JJ rarely makes normal faces for pictures. He is such a character! I’ve included affiliate links for your convenience in this post.

These #pinterestfail cupcakes made us laugh so much. Well, I tried. I blame the terrible bag of marshmallows that were all stuck together. Most didn’t even resemble a marshmallow. Look at that one guy in the back with a narrow face. Jimmy joked it’s because he’s on paleo. lol

If you’re still on the fence regarding the Instant Pot, it’s currently on sale for $79.99! I made bbque chicken in it twice this week and quinoa which comes out perfect every time. I also love steaming potatoes and eggs and it’s super quick. I’ll be using it a ton during the cooler months. 

Here’s Jimmy working hard on building our sink base. He is learning all the things!

If you didn’t have a chance to read my laundry room makeover progress, be sure to catch up here .  I also shared a DIY moody garland tutorial on the blog this past week.

I’ve concocted a new paleo chocolate banana bread recipe and I can’t wait to share it with you soon! 

Have a great weekend, friends!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I figured it w Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I figured it was time to document just how much the Min kids have grown the last year. Even Jules grew some more at college 😱Wishing you all a joyous holiday season.❤️🎄
Even though Jules isn’t that far, it’s still so di Even though Jules isn’t that far, it’s still so different without her in the house. I miss her big giant hugs, random crazy dance moves, impromptu jams on the piano, base guitar, harmonica, and ukulele. It’s a mix of excitement, happiness and sadness and I’m letting myself feel it all. I catch myself getting weepy throughout the day but I feel a deep sense of gratitude for this new season and what she’ll get to experience. 
Aside from the rug, the girls styled their space and it turned out so cute. I love that she’s rooming with her friend from 1st grade. How can my child be in college?!😭😢
