Friday Favorites Link Up + New Slow-Cooker Recipe!

By Melissa · March 22nd, 2013

Happy Friday! I’m so ready for the weekend because my husband is home and we are heading to my parents’ house for the next couple of days. With the weather being nice, we are going to plant our garden at my parents’ house and just spend some quality time together. It should be fun!

Also, we are in day three of Keenan wearing his “big boy” underwear and he is continuing to do well! We are still waiting for him to go number two though (poor thing, I’m afraid he is going to be so constipated from holding it in).

Well, it’s time for another edition of Friday Favorites and the third Link up!  If you are new here, every Friday is a chance to reflect back on the week and cherish some of your favorite moments and eats. I hope you will join me and share some of your favorites!

Favorite Moments:

Keenan being silly with “Baba,” and getting ready for Summer by wearing his swim trunks over his PJ’s!

Building a three-story lego house and setting the “men” at the table for dinner (but having them say the blessing first!).

Our on-going project the past few days.

    I definitely want to try that slow cooker recipe! I haven’t had pork since New Year’s, and the chimichurri sauce is calling my name. Happy Friday!

    That is some tasty-looking food! I love chimichurri sauce – I’ve never tried it with pork, though!

    Oh, those Elmo slippers take me back! We still have the Elmo stuffed animal that I had to hunt down for my son.

    And that food — yum!
