Annual Scarf Exchange + The Best Cake Pop I've Ever Had

Hello lovely readers! It's Monday again (doesn't it always feel like Mondays come super fast), but I had such a fabulous weekend :)

On Saturday I got together with my favorite girls (Stacie, Maddie, Laken, and Brianna) for our 2nd annual scarf exchange. To see our picture from last year go here.

Maddie decked our her basement with all kinds of treats. My favorite was her Buffalo Chicken Dip.

 

Find the recipe over at Miss Matilda May here.  

We had a BLAST catching up and reminiscing old memories, it almost felt like we were back in high school (I can't even count the number of times we hung out and stayed the night at Maddie's house in Middle and High School).

The Exchange

For our exchange we each bring a scarf and then draw numbers to see the order we pick scarves. The first round everyone opens one of the gifts, and then the second round you can steal a scarf from someone if you want. All the scarves are always super cute so it's a win no matter which one you get ;). The craziest thing happened this year, we all ended up getting the scarf from the same person we got last year. I must say Brianna has very good taste in scarves. 

I got lucky and ended up with 2 scarves :)

After the exchange we attempted to get a good picture of us all in our scarves. (the key word there is attempted!) We definitely got some funny ones though.

I think this one wins as my favorite!

We were trying to get all the scarves in the picture as you can see we pretty much failed, but we did get one good one!

Love these girls to pieces!

 My New Found Love for Cake Pops

During our get together Laken surprised us by giving us each a cake pop, at first we were all a little confused, but then she clarified for us. She "popped" the question to us and asked us to be Bridesmaids in her wedding next September! I think we were all screaming in excitement for a good 30 seconds. 

You can read a little about Laken's engagement here.

It was such a great night! Whoever said you don't stay friends with your high school besties never met us ;)

Thanks for stopping by! Make the most out of your Monday!! :)

Friday Favorites

Wow, It's Friday!!!! This week has been so crazy I didn't remember it was Friday until I got on to read my blogs and saw all of the "Friday Favorites". It is always strange to have days off from work in the middle of the week, but the best part is I work today and then am off another 2 for the weekend! Doesn't get much better then that :)

Linking up today with my Favorite Blogs.  Check out Andrea's blog Momfessionals, Erika's blog called A Little Bit of Everything, and Narci'sblog called Grace and Love.

One of my very Favorite things right now is the fact that I get to see my Besties tomorrow!!! We will be getting together for our second annual scarf exchange.

That was the picture from our Scarf Exchange last year. We met and had a Starbucks date. I'm so excited because this year we are getting together at Maddie's house and having a slumber party! Even as an adult I enjoy getting together with my favorite girls and having a sleep over.

My "Favorite" New Year Resolutions

1) Making time each morning to spend reading the Bible and Praying. I will need to get myself out of bed earlier to make this happen.

2)  Use Myfitnesspal and stay under my calorie goal everyday. To do that I will need to eat healthier and get in more work outs.

3) Be a better housewife. I want to get in the habit of meal planning and making dinner more often. I also want to do better about keeping the house cleaned and organized. Check out one way I plan to do that here.

 

I would love to hear about your Resolutions for the year. Hope you all have a great weekend! 

Be Blessed!
