Today I'm linking up with Friday Favorites!
It's Friday & it's the last Friday of the school year!!!!
Just 5 more days of school!YAY!
I have 10 favorites to share about today!
{ONE}
One of my favorite books is Oh, The Places You'll Go!
I got each of my kids this book and since they were in Preschool, I have had their teachers sign it for them. When they graduate from high school, I will surprise them with the book that has been signed by each for their teachers from Preschool through Senior Year of High School.
I blogged about it a couple years ago {HERE}
You can get the book {HERE}
I dropped the girls books off with their teachers this week. I LOVE this tradition!

I mentioned in my What's Up WEdnesday Post last week that "Shut Up and Dance" is one of my new favorite songs & we love listening to it.
This week, I saw thisShut up & Dance Mash Up with Want you to want me....it is awesome!
I also love this compilation of Shut Up & Dance put to dance scenes from various movies. So fun! A favorite for sure!
{THREE}
It's like Trader Joes reads my mind. My VERY favorite part of microwave popcorn is the "half popped or partially popped" pieces at the bottom of the bag. I may have squealed when I saw these! A whole bag of partially popped popcorn.
Amazing. I'm in love!
{FOUR}
Bacon is my favorite.
My BLT salad might be my new favorite. If you missed the post yesterday, you can check out the recipe HERE:
Potato Skins (with bacon):
Warm Blue Cheese & Bacon Dip:
Broccoli Salad (with bacon):
Loaded Baked Potato Salad (with Bacon):
Pasta Primavera (with Bacon):
Spicy Turkey Burger Sliders (with bacon)
I told you I like bacon ;)
{FIVE}
Riding our cruisers is my favorite!!!
(This was me last weekend on my birthday when we rode bikes to dinner with friends. You can read the rest of my birthday weekend re-cap HERE.)
I got my cruiser 2.5 years ago, so they don't have the same one, but there are similar ones HERE
Several color options and several for under $200.
My cruiser is my favorite...pink is my favorite color & I have named my cruiser Bubblegum :)
So excited for lots of cruiser rides this summer!
{SIX}
This cookie scoop is my favorite:
I've had it for almost 10 years & up until recently, I only used it to scoop cookie dough...until I started using it to scoop cupcake batter & muffin batter!!!!
This is a LIFE CHANGING Tip. I am serious!
I make muffins and/or cupcakes 2-3 times a month. It is always a pain & messy to get the batter into the cupcake/muffin liners. But, not when you use your cookie scoop!
No mess!!
Check out how clean & easy this is:
Perfectly measured out & all the same size which ensures they bake evenly.
You can get the cookie scoop {HERE}

About 5 years ago, I got the girls these adorable plates & bowls from Olliegraphic.
It's like Trader Joes reads my mind. My VERY favorite part of microwave popcorn is the "half popped or partially popped" pieces at the bottom of the bag. I may have squealed when I saw these! A whole bag of partially popped popcorn.

About 5 years ago, I got the girls these adorable plates & bowls from Olliegraphic.
After Luke was born, I got him a set also!
They are my kids FAVORITE plate & bowl because they love that their plate looks like them & has their name on it. They use them daily.
For my nieces 1st birthday a few weeks ago, I got her a personalized plate!
(And, I realized I never got my nephew Jack one, so I ordered him one as well)
I love these plates & they have held up so well!
Olliegraphic has lots of cute stuff!
