Things I'm loving

I'm loving all the cute things at Target and Old Navy for Riley. I'm not a huge fan of characters on clothes. Honestly I love miniature versions of things I would wear for Riley. She loves them too. She loves to match or coordinate with me all the time. From cute floral rompers to pretty sundresses. And apparently a lot of blue this spring! Here area  few of her spring picks. This girls got some style!

{Fashion Friday} Fedora Love

 

 Fashion Friday! I don't know if you've noticed. I love my fedora hat. I've always loved hats growing up actually! The hubby calls this my Boy George hat. Not sure if I should take offense. The hat looks good with everything. Maybe Boy George knew this before all of us! This hat has surpassed time, trends and genders. The fedora will never go away. So you should jump on this bandwagon now. Because you will eventually wear one in your lifetime, or your kids will. Might as well stock up now right? Do you have any looks with your fedora hat? If you do link up in a comment or tag me on instagram { @MeadowsandReeds} with the outfit! I'd love see it!

Conversations with a Five-year old

I am constantly amazed at the interesting things that come out of this little girls mouth. She is one smart cookie!

Riley: I have a disk in my brain that writes down everything I eat.

Mommy: Really?

Riley: Yep!

Mommy: Do you how you get to heaven.

Riley: You die

Mommy: haha I mean before that. You believe in Jesus and accept him into your heart.

Riley: Right...then you die.

Mommy: haha Yes

Mommy: How much do you love me?

Riley: {opens arms big}

Mommy: That's a lot! Don't you love me more than that? I love you more than anything. 

Riley: I love you more than grass!

Mommy: Grass hmmm?

Riley: More than houses, more than signs.

Mommy: I sure hope so! 

Things I'm loving

It's finally here!! Warm summer nights, our first grill of the season on our new grill and rompers with big sweaters. Not to mention the fact that I'm wearing sandals! Yes! My toes can finally breathe. They can finally be painted and shown off for all to see. Having a fantastically lazy day with my little family. After spending too much time in target while Riley went through every single pair of shoes in the shoe aisle looking for her Easter shoes. 

Then an spontaneous ice cream date. Which was a blast and way too big for us to finish! Have a happy weekend! 

{Fashion Friday} Lace and Floral

I'm kinda in love with these shorts. At first I was confused on how to even wear them. They are so great for Summer and Spring. They are so light and airy and fun for spring. It has an elastic waste which is really comfortable too. I'm excited for this warm weather. We've been getting ready to enjoy our last summer here. Cleaning up the yard, new patio stuff. I'm excited to start using it all. OH the Bbq's that will be had! My mouth is watering just thinking of it! Can't wait.

Kiss the cook

We tried a new recipe this weekend and it was super easy and tasty. We also had one of our favorites as well. I found Cinnamon Roll waffles on Pinterest of course. One of those pictures that pops up as you are scrolling away. I thought that is the easiest thing ever might as well try it. Basically follow the steps on the pictures and spray the waffle maker with some non stick spray. The only weird thing is the texture. I definitely like the dough'y part of cinnamon rolls and these get flattened and a little stiffer like waffles. But they are still good and faster to make then cinnamon rolls in the oven. You can eat them with your hands too.

Lasagna Roll ups 

This is by far one of our favorite dinner recipes. It's so easy and fast to make.  We got it from our Taste of home recipe book. It calls for three rolls but you can easily double it up for more people. It also says to use swiss cheese. Which we tried the first time but you can really use any cheese. We prefer to use mozarella cheese and we also switch to turkey pepperoni. You can't really tell the difference. Add some salad and garlic bread and it's time to eat! YUM!

At first I wasn't sure if I could keep this up. But Riley just surprises with the little gems that come out of her mouth. I don't think we will be having a problem at all!

Mommy to Daddy: You should have your "I'm bossy" {by Kelis} as your ringtone. 

Riley: I'm Poppsy

Mommy: No, I'm Bossy

Riley: You know who's bossy?

Daddy: Who?

Riley: Daddy!

Daddy: Because I'm the boss. You can tell everybody.

Riley: .....not my friends at school. 

Riley: My farts are silent that means quiet.

Daddy: What did you say?

Riley: None of your business

{Riley playing outside with the neighbors}

Mommy: Riley I can't see you.

Riley {yells back}: Don't worry

Riley: What's wrong mommy?

Mommy: I just miss daddy. I wish he could spend more time with us.

Riley: Here look at this picture that will make you feel better. {points to picture} That's Daddy.

Mommy: Thank you Riley. :)
