My JOY List

 Happy Thursday! How's your week going? I think most everyone is back in school mode now and getting back into a routine! I started my online classes yesterday, and they went pretty well! One of my professors shared with us her "Joy List," and it really encouraged me to think about what's on mine! 

1. My Family

My people bring me so much joy, and I'm so grateful for them! I don't know where we'd be without them and their constant love and support. 







2. My Home

I love this home of ours that we are making our own. Y'all know how I love cozy, and lamps are the perfect way to add instant cozy to a room! 

This is my view while writing this post. I just love it! 

3. Pink

My favorite color has always been pink, but the Barbie movie has me liking pink somehow even more😂.

I just feel a little more happy and confident when I wear pink! 

4. Candles

Again with the cozy....candles are just SO cozy! I have several all over the house, and I'm getting so excited for fall candles! 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...this is the BEST smelling candle EVER. 

5. Flair Pens

I have loved flair pens since I was in high school! I love the way they write, the colors, everything! If you find yourself constantly needing a pen, get you some flair pens! I used to monogram them with my Cricut machine, but I haven't done that in a while. That made them even cuter! 

I keep mine in this mint julep cup. I also have them in my purse, in my Bible bag, in our "junk" drawer.....basically everywhere😂. 

6. Gresham Jewelry

If you have read this blog for any amount of time, you probably already know of my love for Gresham Jewelry. This is my most worn jewelry for sure. I love how easily it moves from day to night, and goes with athleisure or a nice outfit. 

They bring a smile to my face when I wear them! And, yes, I could use some more😉. (These are the "Maui" bracelets, but I love all of her jewelry!)

I'm sure there are tons of other things I could add to this list, but these are the ones that instantly came to my mind. What's on your JOY list?? Have a JOYFUL Thursday!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.19.25}

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
