Time for this week’s Thursday Things:
1. When I was on the Avocado Tour a couple Saturdays ago, Scott took Skylar to the mall and they went into the Disney store. She’s been talking about these “pink sparkle boots” at least nine times a day, every day, since then.
She’s five years old and weeks later, she’s not pining away for toys, dolls, or wishing she had a playdate with a friend or that we’d take her to the movies. Nope, she’s jonesing for shoes. I can relate.
So I decided to surprise her and I bought them. Just in time for the 80F degree weather we had on Wednesday. She says she doesn’t mind sweaty feet.
2. I dropped my ultra-fine point tweezers, similar to these, on the bathroom floor last week and the tip broke. Darn.
I love the ultra-fine tip for getting at ingrown hairs, random tiny eyebrow hairs, popping zits, or whatever your tweezing needs are. You’ll never go back to fatter-tipped or slanted-tipped Tweezers after the fine-point kind.
3. I did a tiny bit of spring cleaning and donated a few bags of clothes that were outgrown or weren’t getting any love anymore. It’s such a good just feeling getting it out of my house.
Freeing up valuable closet space is worth it’s weight in pink glitter boots.
4. Plus, I had an ulterior motive.
When I dropped off the clothes, I poked around to see what kind of dishes I could score at the thrift store.
5. I got this little wooden bowl for 50 cents. Big spender.
You know the expression, one woman’s trash is another woman’s treasure?
Well, apparently even thrift stores get picked over and have “off” days where it truly all just looks like someone else’s trash because I didn’t have much luck. Better luck next time.
6. I have absolutely no where to wear this dress, but I wish I did because I love it.
7. The dress sort of matches the Peach Mango Pineapple White Sangria.
Being color-coordinated with drinks is always a bonus, right?
8. Adonia Greek Frozen Yogurt is available in vanilla, raspberry, wild blueberry, key lime, peach, mango and espresso. Greek frozen yogurt bars are also available in wild blueberry and peach.
These non-fat creamy treats have 9 grams of protein and only 130 calories per serving.
This Greek Frozen Yogurt isn’t only a scoop-able treat. You can layer your favorite berries and granola with it or blend it with other ingredients to create a creamy smoothie.
Want to win some? Leave a comment on this post telling me so and on the next post, I’ll pick a winner. The winner will receive three product vouchers for three free Adonia items.
9. King Arthur’s website has quite a comprehensive Baking Tips & Techniques section.
I love getting down to the baking nitty-gritty about creaming, sifting, piping, and similar earth-shattering discussions. How long to chill cookie dough before it’s considered sufficiently chilled and how to properly separate egg whites and yolks is the stuff I live for which is why Alton Brown is my hero.
10. I need chocolate every day.
It was National Chocolate Chip Day on Tuesday but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want chocolate on Thursday. Or the other days of the week.
Dark Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies Stuffed with Chocolate Covered Strawberries should do the trick.
What are your Thursday Things?
If you’ve seen anything, done anything, or made anything fabulous, feel free to link it up in the comments.
Have you ever seen something in a store, not bought it, but wished you had and not been able to stop thinking about it?
I think we’ve all done this, I just didn’t know it happened to five year olds.
I did this with a pair of jeans I saw and tried on just weeks after I found out I was pregnant with Skylar. They fit perfectly but because I was pregnant and had no idea what my body was going to do, I didn’t buy them, but I’m still thinking about them six years later.
Have a great wrap-up to your week!
I’d love to win some frozen Greek yogurt! Love the pink boots–Skylar has great taste. We head back to Indiana today and enjoyed our visit to SF!
Glad SF was fun. Safe travels home!
I love Greek Yogurt and want to try these treats!
Ohhh those boots are just too precious!!! I just love them! :)
Thanks, sweetie! And I keep seeing all your yummy recipes in the Top 9. Congrats :)
those boots are absolutely amazing. do they make them in women’s 9?
Lol. I know, right!
I just saw this fro yo in my local store! Looks great!
The Adonia products look delicious. And it IS important to color coordinate your clothes and drinks!!
I saw these and totally thought of you…marshmallows! Peanut butter! Oh yeah:
That anthro dress is gorgeous. I love it, too, but 1) no where to wear it and 2) it would be like 1 foot too long for me. You are 5’11” with gorgeous blonde hair so you could totally pull it off!
Here is my Thursday’s anthro thing (but really, it doesn’t need to be a Thursday for me to LOVE anthro stuff!) :-)

Can you imagine spending that much on earrings? I can’t. Not ever. For any reason that I can imagine. But…they sure are pretty!! :-)
So pretty….yes. But it’s all so expensive but gosh, I love it so!
I have seen those squares of Jessica’s on Pinterest lately. About 2 years ago over Xmas I made & posted something like that but the photos are horrendous so I try not to link back to them. Lol
That froyo sounds deeeeeeeeeelicious!!! Also, I’m jealous of Skylar’s boots! So cute!!
I would love to some Adonia froyo! Yum!
I would love to try the frozen greek yogurt!
Love the wooden bowl! Thrift stores are always my weakness…so many little hidden treasures!!
I love them for photography props. Can’t beat the prices!
Those boots…WOW. So sweet that you surprised Skylar with them :-)
One day sooner than later you’ll be pulling out surprises for Lila!
That’s so cute about Skylar’s boots!!! I think shoe addictions are genetic. You’re going to have your hands full in a few years :)
I think they’re genetic, too. My mother has soooo many shoes :)
I’ve never tried Adonia, but I would love to! It looks delicious
ohh she must have flipped when you gave her the shoes! And I really love that bowl, along with your new wooden table/photo background your pictures are going to be looking fabulous and rustic which I love!
I know, I’ve been having so much fun with the rustic vibe and the lighting is a little different (better & more direct) where I have it all set up now and I’ve been loving it!
Great list of things, love the boots and I adores boots at her age too, I was obsessed with them and wearing them whenever. Gardening and trying out many flavors of stevia is on my list this week.
