instaFriday + link love

I'm loving Instagram more and more. I've had it for about 6 weeks and I think I check it more than Twitter. Some days I take 4-5 photos and others I totally forget to do so. But the past week, I snapped quite a few :) You can follow me at bbgoad

Friday, May 11

work: numbering chairs for undergraduate commencement + commencement program....the frapaccino was my reward for a long day at work in preparation for commencement the next day ((thank you Starbucks happy hour))

Over the weekend ((when I wasn't at work))

relaxing at home on Friday night // breaking out my chacos for the first time in 2012 for Saturday dinner with friends // remembering my mom on Mother's Day ((one of my favorite photos of us, taken less than a year before she passed))

During the week...

play date with our neighbor's pooch ((Phoebe and Milton are best pals)) // the mister studying for his summer course: Hebrew // peanut butter chocolate cookies

And the days I remembered to snap a pic of my outfit

I wore this skirt twice because I loved it so much // I tried the dress and jeans look with wedges I've had for years // I wore the purple dress for our rehearsal dinner, but I love pairing it with leggings for work 

I'm linking up with LifeRearranged for instaFriday!
