Five for Friday

Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I hope you all had a great week! I am linking up with Cup of Tea , Della Devoted , and Bright on a Budget!

This has felt like a really long week for some reason! It hasn't been particularly busy or anything, just seemed to feel like it lasted forever! I'm glad it's finally the weekend!

1. We've been pretty addicted to watching Madam Secretary lately. My grandparents got us started on it when we were in Washington and once we found out season one was on Netflix, we've been hooked! It's such a good show! 

We finished season one, and have been watching the current episodes that have been airing, but we've missed most of season 2. It's a political drama, and I like that it uses some current events in the plot. We're news junkies and are always up on what's going on in the world, so it's really interesting to us! I would definitely recommend it! 

2. I went out and took my sister's senior pictures earlier this week. I haven't had the chance to go through any of the pictures yet, but I'm hoping they turned out okay! 

We went downtown to the train depot, and there's a little garden/park there. We went in the middle of the day, so the lighting wasn't the greatest. It seems to be the only time of day we were able to get pictures, so it was tricky getting the settings and everything right!

3. The trailer for the new Bourne movie came out yesterday and I'm pretty excited! My dad, brother, sister, and I are big fans of the Jason Bourne movies, (with the exception of the 4th one, that wasn't that great.) and this one looks SO good!

4. I was at a stoplight on my way home from work the other day and looked over to see this. So glad I wasn't stuck behind them! Haha! I wouldn't want some lady staring at me for miles and miles!

5. In case you missed it, I share some pictures from a couple of the parks we visited while in Seattle. I did a post on Kerry Park and Gas Works Park. Be sure to check those out!

Hope you have a great weekend! Do you have any fun plans?

Gas Works Park

Gas Works Park is one of the few places in Seattle that we had never been to. It's definitely not anything super exciting, but there are some nice trails, a great view of Seattle, and, of course, Lake Union is right there!

It was overcast and really windy when we were there. And the lighting was really weird. It definitely made it hard to get decent pictures!

Here is some history on the park if you're interested!

Kerry Park

While we were in Seattle, we decide to make a stop at Kerry Park. We had been before, several years ago, but wanted to stop by again while up in Queen Anne.

It's a pretty iconic view of Seattle, but a great place to stop nonetheless. 

It would have been nice if the mountain had been out (Mount Rainier), but, as Seattle would have it, it was overcast. I can't complain though, at least it wasn't raining! 

Five for Friday

Hello and welcome to my Five for Friday! I hope you all had a great week! I am linking up with Cup of Tea , Della Devoted , and Bright on a Budget!

1. I got another Chatbook in the mail! I really like these little photo books! I take tons of pictures, and I scrapbook, but I really wanted somewhere I could keeps all the photos of the little things in life. Like a single picture of a tree I thought was pretty, a random photo of what I'm doing in the moment, stuff like that. These were the cheapest (and easiest) photobooks I could find! They use your Instagram pictures and send you a book every time you reach 60 pictures.

2. While we were in Washington, we stopped at Ikea where I was finally able to get a picture frame for the poster my sister got me for Christmas! The poster was kind of an odd size, so as far as I know there isn't a frame I could find that would fit it perfectly, but I like how it looks!

3. I've been sharing posts from our trip to Washington this past week. I posted some pictures from the Roozengaarde Tulip Farm and from Pike Place Market!

4. It was a good week mail-wise around here because I got my Target beauty box, April Ipsy glambag, and my April Love With Food box this week! Look for reviews of those soon! 

5. And last but not least, I added Disqus for comments the other night. For the record, doing anything technical before bed is NOT a good idea! It ended up taking me like, an hour to get it installed because it wasn't working. It was being super frustrating!

I've used Disqus when commenting on other blogs, but I've never been a moderator with it before, so hopefully it will work okay! 

If you aren't familiar with Disqus, you can create an account (or you can comment as a guest) but you will be notified when I respond to your comments! This way, if you have a question or something, you will get an email back letting you know when I respond. It just makes it a lot easier and more interactive.

Have a great weekend!
