Love Lately {fun t-shirts, soup & coffee - loads of it}

Happy Friday morning everyone...or in my world today a big "Happy Bret Michaels in concert at my work day"! I can't hide the fact that I'm excited. Excited to meet him. Excited to hear him sing some Poison songs (junior high slow dance, anyone?). And I'm excited to enjoy our last outdoor concert of the year.

But....before all of that, let's talk about what I'm loving lately.

{ONE}
Solid Threads. If I love anything, its great shirts with super fun sayings/pictures. Every shirt  we've gotten from Solid Threads has not disappointed {see below for a few of our faves}. Not only do we get tons of feedback and laughs from people, but the material of the shirts is just the softest ever and it holds up well after multiple washes {which as we know is important with dirty, little boys}.

SOUP! It's that time of year. The weather is changing and that means it's time to bring back some of our favorite soup recipes, or if I have my way, go pick it up from somewhere tasty so I don't have to make it myself. Wednesday night after work we headed to pick up some new shoes for little man and swung by Paradise Bakery for a quick dinner. Lo and behold its that time of year and they were featuring their Autumn Squash soup. Um, yum. It's as delicious as it sounds. If you like the idea of eating soup that tastes like dessert for dinner...you will love this.

Elf on the Shelf.  It seems with these little guys people either love 'em or hate 'em. I'm on the "I absolutely freakin love 'em" bandwagon and cannot wait to start seeing the posts on social media showing where creative mommies are hiding their elf each day.  Even more, I can't wait to do the same for Cruz! I think we he will get a kick out of finding the elf all over the house this year, now that he can understand what it is. I have to admit I almost started last year....but he was only one and that would've been just plain silly.

Folgers Gourmet Selections - Caramel Drizzle. I have to admit I've been a Green Mountain Coffee snob since the Keurig came out. I ventured out and tried most of the mild flavors - and some of the bold by accident - and loved them. That is until I tried this...

Coffee goodness in a k-cup. It's amazing and definitely worth checking out. I like to mix mine with

Blogger Meet-Up. I can't even tell you how excited I am to partake in my very first blogger meet-up this weekend. I found a group of Omaha bloggers just in time for the Sunday get together. And it's at Whole Foods. How convenient for me. Not only are we going to get together with other local bloggers, but I can get my shop on after we part ways. Eeek, I'm nervous and excited and anxious all wrapped into one.


Now if you'll excuse me, I have some Elf on the Shelf hiding ideas to start pinning. According to many of my other mommy friends I'm waaaay behind the 8-ball on this one. I mean some even have entire Pinterest boards dedicated to this. I need to step up my game. Big time.

Have a great weekend!
