Friday Five

First off all, let me just say TGIF.  This week's full moon has hit the geriatric population hard.  It's been a long week.

So Friday's Five

{country fried steak}. I punctured a package of round steak while digging in the freezer last weekend so Sunday morning, I breaded it and threw it in the crock pot for the day.  The exciting part?  I was able to make 3 meals out of it. We had country fried steak and veggies, open faced steak sandwiches with gravy and Philly cheese steak sandwiches.

{milestones} My little Emmalyn has become a growing machine.  This week she has started pulling up on furniture and going from crawling to sitting without assistance.  

{rehab week}. This week is rehab week.  Take a moment to thank any PT/OT/SLP peeps you might know.   They're awesome.  My boss had a luncheon for us today and it's always nice to be appreciated.

{pig tails} For the second time ever, H let me put her hair in pig tails.  It is definitely the cutest thing ever.  It also makes me happy.

{fall is coming}. Even here in lower Alabama, you can tell that the mornings are just a little bit cooler and the bugs are getting just a little bit easier to deal with.   While we do have big plans for the last official weekend of summer, it'll be nice to get a reprieve from the heat.

Zinio Magazine Subscription {Giveaway}

Let me start this post here and say...

Hi, my name is Lauren.  

I've become a terrible blogger. 

I am in a chronic state of exhaustion. 

I am a magazine junkie. 

I recycle.  

Those last two things usually mean, I have a pile of magazines somewhere in my house waiting to be hauled off to the recycle bin.  Enter, my two-year-old tornado and that translates to a half shredded, scattered pile of magazines all over my house.

Enter zinio.   

What is zinio? That thing that gets rid of unwanted hair on late-night tv? No.  It's a newsstand. With tons of magazines.  Ready and waiting for you.  On your iPad, or iPhone (and it's available for the few of you that use android or windows devices too.) (Once you go mac, you never go back.  True story.)

So then, I started researching.  Zinio.  Magazine subscriptions that I don't have to haul around with me, worth a try right? 

I was super excited when Zinio contacted me with the opportunity to give subscriptions to my readers!  They have the awesome zinio z-pass which allows you to read 3 new magazines for $5/month.  

This post was sponsered by zinio, but all words and opinions are my own.
