Welcome to High Five for Friday – hosted by me, Tif, and Della! If you want to know more, read about it here!
This week’s featured blogger is Tanya from The Other Side of the Road! Today, she is celebrating her 2,000th post!!! What a milestone! Swing over and say congratulations!!
It was quite the week for us!
1. I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I think we conquered (for the most part) potty training! We’ve had only 3 accidents since we turned a major corner last Friday, and 2 of those 3 were while the poor kid was running to the potty. One in particular involved trying to get off a pesky tutu. We managed to make it out of the house several times for eating out, and Elizabeth did GREAT at school, asking to use the potty apparently. I’ve been vlogging the whole time, and will have that up next week. I did it mainly for myself, because mercy it was hard! And for those of you who are either thinking about starting it OR are in the throws of it. Solidarity, moms.
2. This last weekend, my parents were in town! I felt bad that they were entering potty training land, but it was nice having an extra set of encouragers. When they’re in town, we usually go out to eat and then hang at home, and this weekend was no different. But we did go to Duke Gardens to enjoy those beautiful flowers!
3. It was nice to get back to normal this week after spending last week confined to the play room. Groceries, school, Bible study group… it was such a relief.
4. I’m REALLY excited about tomorrow! I’m headed to Charlotte for the day for a great conference with the Influence Network. It will be a full day of worship, encouragement and meeting new people. Not to mention meeting a few blogging buddies in real life! I’m so excited to catch up with Whitney from Come Home for Comfort AND Keri from Living in This Season!! This is what I love about blogging – you can be friends with amazing people BEFORE actually meeting people in real life. It’s going to be fun!
5. There were some good posts on the blog this week! Did you catch them? I shared my quick and easy recipe for Huevos Rancheros. And for my current favorites round up I shared my favs that I bought on a whim and didn’t need, but REALLY love!
What were you up to this week? Let me know!

Have fun tomorrow! XOXO A huge congrats on the potty training. That’s a really big deal!!!
Yay Elizabeth, yay you! If there was ever going to be an accident, a pesky tutu WOULD be to blame, haha! Glad you guys are getting out and about now–the Duke Gardens look beautiful! Have a great weekend!
Have so much fun in Charlotte! I’m starving and sure wish I had some of those Huevos right now!!

Duke garden looks beautiful. I love it when all flowers start to bloom in the spring.
The Huevos Rancheros recipe is on my menu plan for the next week. I’m always looking for new and easy recipes.

Potty training success!! Congratulations!
Oh, have fun tomorrow! We’ll have to plan a big blogger girl’s trip to next year’s conference. I would have loved to have gone had I not been so close to D-Day. Hooray hooray for potty training! I’m so not looking forward to that phase, haha!
