Hello Monday {5.20.24}

 Hello Monday!! How was your weekend? We had a busy but fun one- I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah to share all about it!

My Friday night drink of choice. I had never had this Chardonnay before, but I decided to try it and it may be a new favorite!

Saturday was graduation for Caleb's sister and for my sister's boyfriend. They had I think 313 graduating seniors- crazy!! I think I had somewhere around 250 in mine- and I was on the last row with my W last name 😂.

Look who sat right behind me! So proper 😂. Of course with an iPad and a bar- his two faves! I asked him whose iPad that was, and he looked at me like I had lost my mind and said "it's mine!" Ha!

And then we ended up at none other than Mexican!! We were only in town for the day, so we went home right after we ate.

I thought I would sit on the back porch for a bit when we got home, but the bugs were insane!

So, I made my way inside to my current fave spot- by the window in my swivel rocker!

Sunday, Caleb went into work for a bit- they're renovating a dorm on campus and have to be out before school starts back in August, so it's busy busy busy for him right now! I headed to grocery store to get a few things for the week. When I came home, I made Jessie James Decker's brownies from her book Just Eat.

I read for a bit. I may or may not be giving Colleen Hoover a second chance!

I thought the brownies were done. They were in fact NOT. This picture was taken at 3:14 in the afternoon. I think the brownies were finally ready to eat around 7ish. That was after taking them from the oven, thinking they were done and turning the oven off, realizing after about 30 minutes that they were not done, preheating the oven, and putting them back in, repeat. Baking may not be my strong suit- ha! They actually baked for a total of about two hours. They were delicious even so!

And for dinner I made Jessie's American Spaghetti from Just Eat. It was SO good! I haven't had spaghetti like this in years probably! I had a major aversion to it for a very very long time, but I finally decided to make it. Delish!

Have a great Monday!

    I had 950 in my graduating class and was an S in terms of seating lol. It was a long night! Those brownies look yummy. Brownies might be my favorite sweet treat. Have a great week!

    those brownies look delicious. I have a love hate relationship with Colleen Hoover, some of her books I like and some I don't.

    So fun! I can't even fathom that many graduating seniors- my high school class had 10! I think we had less than 200 kids in the whole school K-12! And now I teach at a school that is a similar size, although I think the graduating class this year had about 20. I also LOVE that purple color on the dress that you are wearing!

Let's Look: March 2024

  I'm back!! Happy Wednesday!! It's the second Wednesday of the month, so that means it's time for LET'S LOOK with Shay and Erika!! In January, we "looked" at How We Clean Our Closets. In February, we "looked" at Little Things We Do Every Single Day. Today, we are "looking" at..... OUR GROCERY CARTS!!  Since I was in Nashville over the weekend, I had to run in Trader Joe's! So, I went ahead and did my grocery shopping for the week while I was there. Plus some other goodies too!  When I went to the TJ's in Huntsville, I said it was my favorite. BUT, I have found a new favorite. There are two locations in Nashville, and I've now been to both. The one on White Bridge Pike is FABULOUS! They had every single thing on my list, and then some. I've been to the other location over by Green Hills Mall, but I didn't look around much, so I can't really attest to how that one is.  I snapped this picture of my grocery cart! This i...

 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...
