Life Lately {October 2023}

 It's been a loooong time since I did a "Life Lately" post, so here's a whole lot of randomness for your Thursday! 

We are ready for fall/halloween over here, but I've already made plans for putting up the Christmas decor ON halloween! My sister is coming over and we're going to have appetizers and watch one of our favorite Christmas movies- Good Luck Charlie: It's Christmas! I can't wait! 

We've been eating all the pumpkin things. 

It's finally been cool enough to have soup for dinner! Except sometimes you try a new recipe and it tastes awful, sooooo

You have popcorn for dinner in your Eras Tour movie bucket! 

Visits with mom and Lib are always good for the soul! Whether we're out and about.......

or at home in comfy clothes! 

This sweet boy is getting so big! He's in Pre-K now, and I feel like every time I see him he has grown up a little more. His little personality is so fun at four years old! 

I mean....he doesn't get told no very often 😂. How could you ever deny that sweet face anything?? My mom took this picture of him and he told her he wished they could just walk in the cotton all day long 💙.

I started this new daily devotional, and I'm loving it! I have followed Lisa Harper for so many years, thanks to my Mimi telling me about her! 

I'm halfway through my first semester back in school, and as of now all is well! For the most part, I'm enjoying my classes! It's weird being back in school, but I like it. Also, I've been hooked on an afternoon iced coffee while I do my schoolwork, and a pumpkin cup makes it even sweeter! 

About a month ago, I shared that I was back to doing gel nail polish. Well. I've now determined that I'm ALLERGIC to it. UGH! So, I'm back to regular manis for now. I want to try dip powder eventually, but I'm too scared to try it right now. Honestly though, I like doing my own nails, and I like to change up the color too often for a long lasting manicure like dip or gel. 

Well, that's what life has looked like lately. 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...

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...
