Life Lately {June 2023}

 Happy Thursday! Here's a bit of our life lately...

On June 4th, we celebrated ONE YEAR of marriage! This year has flown by, and I can't wait to see what year two brings! 

We are here to stay in Starkville for the next several years, with hopes of one day going back "home" to Madison. I'm loving making this house of ours a home and have some home projects I want to take on pretty soon!

In honor of our anniversary...

I put on my wedding dress! I really need to get it cleaned, but I just haven't had chance yet! I'm not planning on preserving it- I love it and want to wear it as much as possible!

I've been making jam a lot lately! 

So far my favorite I've made is strawberry. Ina Garten's Buttermilk biscuits pair perfectly with it!

On my blog this week, I have shared...

Our weekend...

Some recent loves from Aldi and Trader Joe's...these almonds are SO GOOD.

And my best travel tips! 

I'm still doing The Bible Recap, but I have to admit I'm about a week behind.

This is still such a bright spot in my day, but some mornings are more hectic than others- especially on weekends. 

Every night after dinner, and sometimes while we eat dinner, we have been watching The Big Bang Theory. 

It's our favorite way of winding down at the end of the day!

Have a great Thursday!

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 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...

Let's Look: September 2024

 Hey, friends! I hope you are having a great week so far! Today is the September edition of Let's Look. But before I get into that, I want to talk a bit about today, September 11. Today is the 23rd anniversary of the attacks on 9/11. I was only one year old when this happened, so I obviously do not remember where I was or what I was doing or anything from this day. All I know is because of the people who continue to honor to victims and the heroes of this day. I have had the honor of visiting the memorial and museum in NYC twice now, and both times I have been were such an incredible experience. Visiting there is heavy. It is sad. It's informative. It's also beautiful to see how our country came together in such an awful time. I love this picture that I took on my last visit. The leaves in the picture are from a tree that survived everything from that day 23 years ago. It was transported to a greenhouse for a while, but it was eventually moved back, and I loved that I could...
