Sparks of Joy {Links that make me smile}

 

Happy Friday everybody!  Not only is it Friday, but it's the last Friday of January.  I am ready! January has been fast!  Looking ahead, there are some pretty fun things coming up, so bring on February! A family trip that we are all super excited for and Weston is turning 11 next week, so we're having a little family gathering that I should probably get started baking cupcakes.  However, I'm an epic procrastinator, so yeah, you will probably find me this evening decorating and baking.  But, don't worry, I love it!  

It's been a hot minutes since I shared some things that have made me smile lately, so let's get sharing! I won't take too long because, the weekend is upon us and we need to celebrate Friday! 

:: We snuck away for 24 hours in my favorite city. 

:: There's a few new shows that I've been watching (and loving!):

        * The Guilded Age on HBO

        * How I met your Father on Hulu

        * Pivoting on ABC/Hulu

:: I've been participating in #miniquiltmonday hosted by Amanda at @graccieone.  I had so much fun with this week's block!

:: I  bought this kelly green sweater the other day. . . I'm still mulling over it.  

::  I've started back up with my Flobody and it feels so great to be back to moving my body!  (I came down with Bells Palsy a month ago and took some time off to rest. . . I was uncomfortable!)
