Friday Favorites {1.20.23}

 

Happy Friday! What a week! Today I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites.
My first favorite and my very favorite favorite from the week is a book. 
I. Loved. This. Book. I was skeptical at first, but when Mix and Match Mama named it her favorite book she read all year, I was intrigued. I read it on my phone via Apple Books. I could not put it down. I read it in just a couple of days. I was irritated when I had to stop reading and tend to the laundry. And when I had to stop for lunch. I stayed up super late to keep reading it. It was that good. One of the main characters is an octopus, which is one of the reasons I was hesitant to read it. BUT, he ended up being my favorite character! Really, all of the characters are wonderful. This was such a good book. If you haven't read it, you should. If you are hesitant like I was, start by reading a free sample of it. That's what I did, and I bought it as soon as I finished the sample. I had to know the rest of the story! What should I read next?! 

I love a blanket. I'm kind of a blanket hoarder. I just love to be cozy, really. My mother in law gave me this heated blanket for Christmas, and it has been used quite a bit since then! I used it every day we were sick, too. It's super soft and has four heat settings. It's a throw size, so it's perfect for laying on the couch! 
I kind of forgot I had these cute sneakers, but I wore them yesterday and remembered how much I love them! They are super light weight and very comfortable! They go great with jeans, dresses, or leggings. (I'm wearing them here with black jeans.) I used to wear Nike tennis shoes all the time, and I would size up a half size in those, but I got my normal size 9 in these are they fit perfectly! 
I got them last year, so they aren't available anymore, but I love this neutral pair! 
EDITED TO ADD: I can't attest to this website, but mine are available here in a size 7, and in several sizes in the pink.
Thursday night dinner...super fancy! A sandwich, chips, and wine while watching Modern Family. I was also already in my pjs. Definitely a favorite kind of evening! 

Have a great weekend!

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...

Friday Favorites {10.18.24}

 Happy Friday!! I hope you all had a great week! I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from my week. Well guess what is back tonight?? NEW Hallmark Christmas movies!! Ummm YAY!! I'm most excited about Confessions of a Christmas Letter (Angela from The Office is starring in that one!) and Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story! For some foodie faves... This right here. It made my week. I'm obsessed with the tuna from Beagle Bagel. It's amazing. I can never say it enough! I made egg drop soup for the lunch the other day, and it was really good! It's always been my favorite soup from Chinese buffets. I didn't feel great and wanted a soup...luckily I had all the ingredients. I used this recipe here. The weather this week was absolute perfection.  I mean, it was really, really cool. And it was fabulous. So, that means.... I broke out a sweater and my Sorel booties that I love so much! I always forget how good the Bible app is. I opened it up...

Friday Favorites {6.6.25}

 Happy Friday, friends!! How was your week? One of my summer classes started this week, so I have been getting back into a bit of a routine which is nice! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from the week.  How cute is our new wreath sash?? My mom got it for us, and I am obsessed! Lots of food faves this week.... Another salsa I am now obsessed with! I found this at Aldi, and y'all it is SO good! I used it in a recipe, but I am definitely going to get another jar to eat for a snack or with lunch or dinner! Now for a Tik Tok "recipe". I used quotations, because it's really just a chop/open a can and throw together situation. Corn, black beans, pinto beans, onion, tomato, cilantro. I ate it with tortilla chips for lunch this week. It was so good! Next time, I would add more tomato and use less onion (maybe even no onion at all), and I should have chopped up the cilantro a little better! I also squeezed in some lime juice and added salt a...
