Thanks to Katie and Heather for the link-up!

Happy Friday!  I literally had a shock yesterday when I finally realized Christmas is next month, my child turns 2, and I haven't even started planning his birthday.  

So, let's just say my mind has officially switched over to birthday planning mode!  While we haven't quite made friends in Wilmington, NC, yet and Ryan is just starting daycare, the guest list will be quite small, but that doesn't mean Ryan shouldn't have a party!  We have family coming in to celebrate his birthday and Christmas (since they are just 2 short days apart).  Operation "Ohhh-twooodles" has begun! (Can't you guess it will be a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday?!)

Let's look back at some favorites from the week, shall we?

#justaredcup | The Starbucks controversy

I want to give a shout out to Amanda @ RunningwithSpoons for the link up.

Its #thinkingoutloud Thursday!

Folks, I have to weigh in on the Starbucks red cup controversy.  It is stupid - not Starbucks' decision, but the public outcry.  It is just a cup.  I don't care what color it is, as long as I have my hot and tasty, extremely over-priced, life-changing coffee in it.
