Hey friends… It’s just after noon my time on Friday and I BARELY realized I’d forgotten to post Fancy This Fridays… This preggo brain is really getting to me I guess. So instead of features this week please go check out all of the amazing links from last week’s Fancy This Fridays party. Next week I’ll do a double feature from both weeks to make up for it.

In case you missed it I shared several sponsored posts this week. First up, check out and enter the Florida 500 Year Celebration sweepstakes, learn about discounts from Southwest Vacations for something fun like a Bachelorette weekend and see what I wear to workout in my 8th month of pregnancy thanks to Old Navy!

And while you’re here how about a quick pregnancy update… I have been craving lots of sweet treats lately. Things like ice cream and strawberry shortcake.

Which is probably the reason I failed two different one hour glucose tests… Well, I didn’t fail. My numbers just came back this side of too high so to be safe my doctor ordered a three hour glucose test. For those that aren’t familiar with said test it’s basically torture for pregnant women!! They make you fast for 8 hours before the test which for me meant from midnight to 8 am the next morning. Then you go to the doctor, have blood drawn every hour for three hours while you sit in their office and wait. I was STARVED by the end… but lucky I guess because I hear a lot of women get sick and I didn’t… Hallelujah! I took a few books to read while there though, so it wasn’t all that bad…

Now, onto this Friday’s Fancy This Party! Thanks for stopping by and linking with us dolls! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to!!!

It’s Friday again!!! Whoot!!! In case you missed it this week we have a GIVEAWAY happening for a pretty Lilla Rose Clip and I shared a post on a few maternity friendly options from an online retailer.

This week the features are all about fun things to do with the kiddos this summer! Or even just the adults… haha. Either way!

First up, Evelyn of My Turn for Us shared a fun way to serve some tasty fruit this summer with her Watermelon Star ‘Cake’. Definitely a fun twist on the run of the mill fruit tray, right!?!

Next, Enchanting Beginnings showed us how she created a SUPER fun sleepover for her girls to celebrate the last day of school. She made this incredible indoor tent, had a delicious menu of treats for dinner and breakfast the next morning, and all kinds of fun games and activities!

And last but not least these photo drink coasters shared by Danielle of Peanut Life Adventures would make a fun gift, party favor, or just a fun activity to do with the kiddos this summer! I love the idea of using your favorite photos!

Here’s a Featured on Truly Lovely button for you three mentioned above! Hope you’ll grab one and share it over at our own blogs!

Happy Friday loves!!! How was your week?? In case you missed it this week I shared a tribute to the new Arby’s KING’S HAWAIIAN Sandwiches and a fun Hawaiian getaway contest! The rest of the week was spent putting away the cutest baby goodies from my baby shower last weekend, cleaning house after having guests over for the weekend and resting. As of today we are in MONTH 8 of this pregnancy! Only two more months to go! Whoot!

This week’s theme for the features from Fancy This Fridays 127 is… SWEETS!!!

First up Carlee of Ladybird Ln. shared her daughter’s sweet ice cream themed birthday! I love the way she does parties because they’re really focused on the kiddos having fun and less stress for mom! Win-win!

Next up this recipe for Red Velvet Molten Lava Cakes from Grace at Butter and Jam sounds absolutely mouth watering! Just click over and take a look for yourself!

And finally, Rachel at My Wholesome Home shares a healthier take on the classic Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Click over to see the changes she makes for an even healthier treat!!

Happy Friday dolls!!! In case you missed it this last week I shared a review of a pretty Mikarose dress and a brand new Mombo nursing pillow. I also shared an easy Spring/Summer craft to prettify your office desk!

This week the features from Fancy This #126 are all focused on organizing! I am in FULL nesting mode over here sorting through and getting rid of junk, switching rooms around, tidying and dusting… So let’s all get a little more organized this next week with these featured tips!

First up, let’s organize our blogs with these FREE sidebar titles from Angela of A Typical English Home. They even come in 12 different colors! Click over to her place to download and access those please. Thanks!

Next up we’ll focus on organizing the kitchen with Cleaning and Organizing Kitchen Cabinet tips from Kendra of A Proverbs 31 Wife.

And finally we’ll get the pantry organized! Life Outside the Box with the Cartens shows us how she made over her entryway closet into a nicely organized pantry!

Happy, happy Friday peeps!!! In case you missed it we have a GIVEAWAY happening right now for a fun book! THREE winners even! And Kayli is one of the SPEAK NOW ambassadors, so we’re helping host the link up for that here.

Now onto the features from Fancy This Fridays 125!

So this week’s theme is based on the master bedroom… Or bedroom redo… Or something along those lines… Let’s just say I am in the process of revamping my master bedroom, hoping to get it all finished before we get too close to baby getting here. Obviously these bedroom projects caught my attention!

First up, check out this cool bed made from old doors!!! Lacey from Charm and Sass shows us how she and hubby made a fun new bed in a couple of weekends.

Next up, Steph of Crafting in the Rain made some pretty vertical ruffled curtains. I’m thinking I like the vertical ruffle look! You??

And last but not least I am loving this bright reupholstered chair from Christine of The DIY Dreamer. Not sure if it completely counts as a bedroom project, but I have a couple of old chairs that need transforming. One might end up as a vanity chair in the new bedroom!

In case you missed it this week we shared what baby Mortensen is going to be, Kayli and I wore a few fun tees from Old Navy, I shared a wish I marked off my list of 20 wishes and we introduced you to our girl, Bethani, who shared a yummy breakfast casserole recipe! It was kind of a busy week here, right!?!

What fun things do you have planned for the weekend??? I’m shooting my first senior picture shoot for a friend’s daughter tomorrow! I’ve been browsing posing ideas and what not on Pinterest all week. And tonight the hubs, my mom and dad and I are going to a Marty Stuart concert here in town! Should be lots of fun!

First up Amanda from The Little Giggler shows us how to make these fun Mommy and Daddy dolls! I know a few kiddos who would LOVE dolls made of their favorite people!
