Hooray for Friday! And hooray for a sunny weekend in Sarasota!
Ryan and I arrived at my mother-in-law’s house yesterday evening and so far our time here has been great. Our agenda for this weekend is filled with trips to the beach, dinner plans and a Mother’s Day brunch with my grandmother-in-law. I know the time will pass by in a flash, so I’m off to soak up every minute of the fun while we’re here. Today we’re planning to take Sadie to the dog beach!
Moving right along to your regularly scheduled Friday post… Let’s chat about things we’re loving this week! As always, please feel free to play along in the comments section. I love reading about things that make you smile!
Things I’m Loving Friday
- Daily Laughs from Sadie
As a first-time dog owner, one of the things I always tell people that surprised me most about owning a dog just just how much our dog makes us laugh! Sadie truly cracks us up every single day with antics like the one you can see below.
Ryan was looking for a movie to stream on Netflix on his laptop when Sadie decided she should be his source of entertainment, not Netflix.
We have the neediest dog in all the land.
This sunscreen has been a favorite of mine for years. I got Ryan hooked when we first started dating and he complained about super-greasy sunscreen that made him break out. Just wanted to share since I know summer is right around the corner! It’s the best!
- Almond Butter and Chocolate Chips
Throughout the past month or two, this delightful combination somehow became a post-dinner tradition. The flavors pair together perfectly and it satisfies my sweet tooth! (P.S. Sadie is deeply offended that you guys gave this picture nearly 400 more likes on Instagram than the latest Instagram photo of her. I told her no one can compete with chocolate and nut butter, but she’s still pissed.)
- Sam Smith
This guy’s voice is phenomenal! He’s the voice on Disclosure’s “Latch” and every time I hear him sing, I get chills. His voice absolutely gorgeous. And his song “Stay With Me” is a new favorite in our house right now. So beautiful!
- Detox Yoga
Whenever I’m home in Ocala on a Sunday and have the opportunity to take the detox yoga class at my local yoga studio, I jump at the chance. It’s the perfect rest-day yoga because it’s not strenuous at all and is essentially a relaxing stretch class. It’s peaceful, calming and the perfect class for days when I want to focus on my breathing, stretch my legs and leave a class feeling rejuvenated without stressing my body at all. Namaste!

Remember your last Things I’m Loving Friday? That “I just wanna have abs-olutely all the pasta & breadsticks”? It came in the mail, and I’ve been rockin’ it. Love it!! HAHAHAH
Loving the snack! I am loving our wonderful weather!!
I adore Sam Smith.
Can you believe he’s only 21 years old?
I love his acoustic version of “Lay Me Down” and his recent song with Naughty Boy, “La La.”
He’s amaaaaaaaaaazing.
Sam Smith!! I listen to his youtube playlist on repeat (currently for the past 45 minutes been doing so)
I WISH my dog was a little more cuddly! He’s been a real grump since it started getting hot. He only wants to be on his own bed in his own space… but, then again, at least I can watch Netflix in peace! 🙂
I’m actually loving sunscreen too! It’s finally warm enough in Wisconsin to warrant needing more of it! Coppertone has a couple new lines out, both with face sunscreens. I’m trying the ClearlySheer Sunny Days face lotion and I like it a lot so far!
haha I don’t know Jax is very needy!!!
Sadie and him would get along great
I’ll definitely have to check out the Coppertone Oil Free Faces Sunscreen! SPF is so important!
I’m currently loving Fake Bake Flawless sunless tanner! It’s a great product that gives me the perfect amount of color without sacrificing my skin to the dangers of the sun. Everyone says it looks so natural!
Were on vacay on Anna Maria Island right now but I think we’re making a trip to St. Armand’s tonight (aka one of my fave spots in FL) and I cannot wait!! I just love it here. Hope you have a relaxing weekend (maybe with a dog on lap? Haha). I know I’m enjoying these temps, pure sun and beach!!
A spoon + nut butter = divine!
This week: loving the colors, feel, movements of working in the garden.
YYUM! I love toasted coconut on almond butter too sooo yummy! Lots of Love + Happy Weekends!
Hehehe Sadie never fails to crack me up with her smug expression! I’d love to have a big dog like her….
Oh my cat is the same. She makes me laugh so much EVERY SINGLE DAY and is very much part of our family.
Hope you’re having a great Mother’s Day weekend, Julie! My cousin (also, coincidentally, named Julie) is getting married today so it’s been super fun to be together with all my extended family celebrating. Here are some other things I’m loving right now: http://daybydaymasterpiece.com/2014/05/09/fabulous-friday-21/
My puppy is pretty needy too…but when she wants attention, she looks at us and makes pig-like sounds! When she was at the Humane Society, a pig was in the crate next to her, so I guess she learned that oinking would give her more attention!
This week I’ve been loving my ProCompression compression sock! My foots been hurting me and that sock is a savior, let me tell you… Plus it’s neon pink so it’s fun to wear haha!
Love detox yoga. I take a similar stretch class every Sunday and I always leave feeling relaxed and loose 🙂
I’m seriously scared of trying that nut butter and chocolate chip combination! Seriously scared of becoming addicted that is 😉 I can understand how it got SO many likes on Instagram.
I hope some of that warm weather comes to Australia. We are 2 weeks away from winter and the weather has already started to turn very very cold. Here’s hoping for a few more warm days before winter sets in completely.
I hope you had a lovely weekend <3
loving traveling to Texas and exploring San Antonio!
I adore Sam Smith. He is so, so talented. I’m still very bummed I missed out on seeing him in concert. We had tickets, but the date was postponed because he ended up doing SNL instead and the rescheduled date conflicted with a business trip. Still, happy he is blowing up now as he is very talented and deserves all the attention he is getting. His cover of Whitney Houston on an Grey’s Anatomy episode from this season is also fantastic.
