Everyday Maddie

 Well, it's FINALLY the last day of January!! Wow, this month always goes by so sloooowwww. Why is that?? Today, I'm linking up with Sheaffer and Shay to share all about our ridiculously long month over here!  1: WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK Monday we had burgers!  Last night we had "egg roll in a bowl"- yum! Tonight we're having simple and easy nachos.  Thursday night I'm throwing everything in the crock pot for chicken tortilla soup!   2: WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT I'm really reminiscing about the days that I didn't have school work 😂. So far, this semester has been crazy busy!  3: WHAT I'M LOVING I feel like this is my answer every month, buuuut..... Lake PJs!! And fabulous news, if you've been eyeing some of the Valentine's prints, as long as you order by February 6, they'll be to you by February 13!! But who are we kidding, I'm wearing mine all year long. They're too comfy and cute to only bring out once a year! Th

  It's time for another Trader Joe's haul! Woohoo!! If you've been around for a while, you may know that our closest TJ's is a couple hours away in Birmingham. Last weekend, though, we went an hour longer to Huntsville, because their location is the best one in my opinion! I did really like the McKinney, TX location as well, though.  I usually go in to Trader Joe's with a list of things I've seen on Instagram/other blogs/etc., but this time I went in with zero list. I just walked up and down most of the aisles at least twice to see if anything jumped out at me.  First thing I saw were these egg bites, and I am really regretting not getting more than one pack. They are SO good!!  I grabbed these for quick and easy lunches!  Another quick and easy lunch. I haven't had this specific one, but I have tried some of their other burritos before.  I've been drinking a ton of protein shakes lately, and I thought adding fruit would be good! I'll probably also t

  Happy Monday, friends!! I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday to share all about our weekend- it was a fun one!  My mom and my sister's boyfriend came into town Friday evening, and they brought my pillow cover from Amazon. I LOVE it!! And we of course had Mexican for dinner, but I forgot to take any pics.  Saturday morning, we got up and hit the road to head to Huntsville!!  My car ride look!  Downtown Huntsville! It was a gloomy day.  Lunch at one of our fave spots ever! We discovered this on a cheer trip to Huntsville a couple years ago, and we loved it so much that we had it for lunch both days that weekend! There's also a location in Birmingham. If you are ever near one, you must stop!! I love the buffalo chicken sandwich and side salad- their ranch is amazing!  Next stop, Target!!  I. Love. Target. Here's a mini haul..... I needed a welcome mat (that isn't holiday themed!) for our front door. This one is Studio McGee.   I looooved this overs

  Happy FriYAY!! I hope you all had a fabulous week! Today, I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to bring you some faves from the week!!  First, let's recap the week on my blog.  On Monday, I linked up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday!   Tuesday was all about shoes! I shared a "Closet Chat" about some of my favorite shoes! I'm soooo ready for summer!! Wednesday, I shared my bucket list for this summer!   Yesterday, I linked up with Patty and Holly for Monthly Musings! This month's topic was Winter Self Care.  Now let's get into some faves!  Caleb and I watched this movie last weekend! I think I've only seen clips of it here and there, but it's such a cute movie!! I really loved it!  I know some people either love or hate La Croix, but I love it! This LimonCello flavor is my new favorite! I also love the coconut flavor- it's especially good in the summer!  Oh my word!! This stuff is super addictive!! I tried to find the RX brand, but I

Happy Thursday! Today I'm linking up with Holly and Patty for Monthly Musings! This month's topic is...... WINTER SELF CARE! 1. How do you take care of yourself in the winter? Lotion. Lots and lots of lotion. My hands are currently sooooo dry. I cannot get enough lotion! I'm also drinking lots of water, and I'm getting in lots of protein, healthy fats, and lots of carbs- yes! carbs!  2. How do you fight the winter blues? I try as hard as I can to really be content with whatever season we're in, even if it's making me super sad to still be freezing. I also love to pick out cute wintery outfits and shoes! Dressing cute instead of in workout clothes all day definitely makes me feel better.  3. Tips to make your living space cozy? Lamps. Candles. Throw blankets. Cute pillows. I loooove being cozy, and these are some of my favorite ways to make things feel more cozy!  4. Suggestions for fun wintertime activities? Reading! Curl up with a good book and a cup of tea o
