Nesting on this first Sunday in May and rainy Cinco De Mayo.
We are going out tonight to try a new taco place that just opened near us and I am so excited! A big basket of nachos and margaritas is just pure happiness isn’t it?
The past few weeks have been a little crazy between spring sports, end of the year activities, yard work and baby showers. I’ve been to three baby showers in the past 4 weeks! Yesterday I went to one for my cousin and I just have to show you the sweet gift my mom and sister put together.

And from babies, they grow so fast. Somehow we have kindergarten screening for my little guy tomorrow and I am not ok. I can’t believe he is going to kindergarten! I feel like we just brought him home!

It was a great week on the blog. We talked about:
The top Amazon purchases of April. I own every single one of these and love, love love. Click here to see them all. Seriously that romper is so freaking comfortable and the instant awake under eye brightener is a must! I’m never wearing concealer again.
Mother’s Day is next weekend and I have some cute Mother’s Day printables for the kids. They can show mom what they love about her, there’s free coupons for a day off of cooking and cleaning, and a printable Mother’s Day Brunch menu. Click here to see them all.
On this week’s Wednesday Salad, I shared this Caesar pasta salad recipe with the easiest and most delish homemade Casear dressing. I don’t know about you all, but Rick is not a huge salad lover and he asked me the next day when I’m making it again so I call that a win! Here is my recipe.
If you’re looking for a gift for the teacher for the end of the school year, I shared this little gift basket I put together last year with my free printable. Click here to see it.
And since it’s Cinco De Mayo, here are some recipes for your fiesta today:
This spicy pineapple ranch water is a great low calorie cocktail and can easily be made into a mocktail too. Sharing the recipe here.
If you’re looking for a light and refreshing marg, how about these cucumber elderflower margaritas? These have been a reader favorite for the past few years! Recipe linked here.
And for more margaritas, check out 9 of the best margarita recipes here.
Combining two well loved favorites, tacos and pizza in this easy taco pizza the whole family will love! Click here for the recipe.
Walking tacos are a favorite in our house and these can be made in the crock pot which makes them perfect for a crowd. Click here for my Crock pot Walking Tacos.
Here’s some of my favorite finds of the week:
Have you heard all about the Black and White SUV moms? This was a big topic in my Instagram stories last week. I drive a white SUV yet I find myself identifying more as a black SUV mom. Maybe I’m gray? See what you are here.
Because you can never have too many margarita recipes, check out my friend Jen’s frozen pineapple margarita!
