Life Lately: Super Bowl, Kids Birthday Celebrations, and Couponing

Hey loves! Today I'm sharing what we've been up to lately and I want to know, what have you been up to lately? Please share in the comments!

This was a super exciting Super Bowl for me as a Patriots Fan! We met up with Tim's dad and his siblings at a local restaurant Richards Pub for drinks and snacks and then went to Tim's dads house to watch the game. It obviously turned out great for us since we are all Pats fans (except Tim who is an Eagles fan) so we were all thrilled.

We also got the chance to finally celebrate Emma's birthday! Since their whole family had the stomach bug during her birthday weekend we didn't get to celebrate like we wanted to.

Parker is getting so big!

Do you like the gift Tim and I gave her? Because she did! I don't think she has a clue who Sleeping Beauty is but she did enjoy using the gloves to reenact Elsa's coronation scene from Frozen.

I love that we get included in their family events! It makes my heart so happy!

Tim and I found a new pizza place called The Place in Wickford. We both were super impressed with our pizzas and will definitely be back for more!

Tim and I got his and hers freebies from Bath and Body Works! Did you know that you don't have to buy anything to use the freebie coupons? Just go in, pick out an eligible item and check out for free! This is how my small shower gel and lotion stockpiles get out of control. So many freebies!

I picked up three workout tops from Old Navy and ended up only paying $6 each after my Supercash and clearance deals. I love getting cheap clothing especially since I desperately needed some new workout tank tops. Which reminds me to tell you that I'm on week 6 of the Couch to 5K app! I just finished Week 6 Day 2 yesterday and am super impressed with myself! I feel stronger and I can't believe that I will be running the length of a 5K in just three weeks. I also signed both Tim and I up for a 5K in May which I'll share when the time comes.

I picked up these four Mickey and Minnie items from Kohls and they were on clearance for $2.50 each. So cute and will make a great gift!

This past Friday we went to Emma's birthday party at Make A Mess which is a local business in Rhode Island where kids play with super messy stations and then they clean it up for you. It's such a cool concept.

Parker definitely enjoyed herself.

I think the birthday girl did too!

On Saturday we went over to Brittni and Stephen's house to hang out with them and Rachel and Ant! Of course all our favorite kids were there too!

Now it may look like Emma was loving me...but she actually was choking me with my own hair. When she wasn't doing that she was pulling my hair. Devil child!

These kids are the best!

And Uncle Tim is just so much fun! <3

That's what we've been up to lately! What have you been up to?

Life Lately

Happy Memorial Day everyone! I thought today I would share some pictures of what's happening in my life lately!

A week ago we babysat little Emma!

We always have a blast watching her because she is so active and fun now! We got into a ton of activities such as pulling every book off her bookshelf and riding around the island on her hippo.

Also climbing on the coffee table. Such a troublemaker.

Last Sunday we went to the Roger Williams Zoo. We absolutely love visiting zoos, it's such a nice way to spend a few hours on the weekend.

The last time we visited this zoo was about two years ago when we first started dating so it was nice to go back and experience it again!

It was such a fun day and unexpected since we hadn't planned on going to the zoo initially. Aren't those always the best kind of days?!

Last week we had a nice dinner with Rachel, Ant and Tilly.  We met at The Boathouse in Mystic and enjoyed some yummy appetizers and baby snuggles.

It was so nice to catch up with Rachel and Ant since we don't get to see them all that often. Tilly is getting big so fast and is so much more aware and alert then she was before. It's so amazing how fast she's growing up!

This past Saturday we went to Megan and Josh's engagement party in Massachusetts,

The party was so nice out in their backyard. We were able to meet another couple who lives right nearby us and we have a ton in common with which was a great time.

I always forget how much I miss Megan until I see her! We spent so much time together in college it's always great to see her.

We saved a spot for Laura since we were both missing her during the party!

This weekend has also been filled with a couple of lazy mornings at home with homemade breakfast by Tim...well except the toast which was made by me. Yes, I have many talents!

Yesterday we spent most of the day at a BBQ outside which was nice. I ended up with quite a few mosquito bites but we had a good time.

Finally, I just wanted to share the polaroid pictures I took before we let this weekend. I have been playing around with my polaroid camera to try the different settings and love that it has a timer so we can take couple pictures together :)

So that's what I've been up to lately!

Life Lately: A Busy Weekend

This past weekend seemed to revolve around kids...despite Tim and I not having any children of our own. It was a fun but busy weekend and I didn't complete any of the errands I wanted to, but that's okay there's always next weekend!

On Saturday we had a very special event to attend...Emma's First Birthday Party! The theme was Emma's Winter One-derland and when we walked in the soundtrack from Frozen was playing. Emma is currently loving the Frozen Soundtrack and I will continue to hope that someday she will be a Disney Princess girl like me! :)

When we first arrived we luckily were handed the princess herself fairly quickly. She definitely was more interested in the balloons then us and wanted freedom since she is so fiercely independent. 

Brittni did an awesome job planning with Calvittos Pizza and a donut cake from Allie's. It was all Rhode Island favorites! Of course we all loved watching Emma smash her cake (or delicately eat frosting as she did) but I personally loved watching her open her gifts! She was less interested in the actual gift then she was in the boxes, tissue paper, bags, etc...

I can't believe this little girl is a year old! 

On Saturday night Tim and I had a nice dinner at one of our favorite restaurants Richards Pub (they have amazing french onion soup) and then had a nice quiet night at home where I kicked his butt at Madden. (Not true- he kicked my butt, but doesn't me winning make it a better story? I think so too)

On Sunday we headed to the football banquet for the football team Tim coaches. I unfortunately had to leave before his team had their presentation but I was able to see one little guy get his first trophy! 

Tim's nephew Callan played flag football this year and he received his first trophy which was so exciting!

I had to leave early because the dance team I coach was performing during halftime at the Dunkin Donuts Center! I headed all the way down to the high school to catch the bus and then we took off to perform.

The girls had a great time even though there was a brief moment where we weren't sure we were going to have music. We were a little panicky for a few minutes but it all worked out in the end!

Overall it was a great weekend! Did you do anything special this weekend?
