Weekend Recap

 

Hello Monday! Happy Memorial Day, friends! May we all remember and honor who and what this day is really about. I am grateful today and every day for the many men and women who have lost their lives fighting for our country. 

Friday after I got home from work, we went out to eat...and then I had to get a new car battery😩. Ugh! But we were so glad that we decided to take my car to dinner, otherwise this would have happened to me before work on Saturday morning! 

On Saturday, Caleb and I both had to work. When I got home from work, I unloaded the dishwasher and cleaned up the kitchen. 

Have I mentioned that I love a clean kitchen?? 

Sunday morning we decided to just sleep in. I think we both woke up around 8. 

I got up and made my coffee and did a few days of The Bible Recap. I'm about a week behind😬. 

I put out our flag...

And then I....

Got back in bed to read for a bit😊.

I read for about an hour before I got ready for the day. 

My OOTD for running tons of errands! 

And of course a Gresham stack. 

We went to Ulta, Marshall's, Lowe's, Aldi, Kroger. Then home to unload groceries. 

I made blackberry-peach freezer jam! 

I'm usually not really a tomato person, but (of course) Tik Tok has influenced me to try a tomato sandwich. and these looked really good! 

And then we went back to Lowe's and Aldi....

I've been eyeing this patio set for a few months, and we finally took the plunge today. We also found a fire pit at Aldi and decided to go back for it. 

I read for a while on the back porch. 

I typed this post on the back porch. 

I think we'll be spending lots of time on the back porch this summer, hopefully anyway! 

Have a safe and blessed Memorial Day! I'll meet you back here tomorrow morning for my May book review! Can you believe we're already at the end of another month??

 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 {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...

Friday Favorites {8.29.25}

 Happy last Friday of August! As always, I am here to link up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from my week.  To be honest, it feels out of touch to make this post. After the devastating news of yet another school shooting, my heart is so heavy. Innocent lives taken and still no changes from people in power. I honestly do not know how anyone can see news like this and not be enraged and demanding for change. I do not get political on here, because that is not what I want for this space. However, I feel the need to share my thoughts about this. America needs gun control. ALL Americans need access to healthcare, especially when it comes to mental health. America needs change. Remember these things when you vote. Think about your babies, their friends, their teachers. Stay aware, stay educated. But also please make sure you spend time doing things that bring you joy (it's good for your mental health!). That is at least what I am going to do. With that being said, here ar...
