Navarre Recap

 Happy Thursday! This past weekend, I was in Navarre, Florida- here's what we did!

My mom's best friend lives near Navarre, and we went for her son's high school graduation. We also got in a beach day and some good quality time with our favorite people!

It's very fitting that this is the first picture I took while we were there! Mrs. Angel makes the BEST key lime pie in the world!! I have made her recipe countless times, and although it is really good, it just isn't the same as when she makes it!

We always bring Beagle Bagel for them. They used to live in Madison, and it's their fave!

After graduation, we ate at McGuire's. It was almost 10pm before we ate, but it was soooo good! It was my first time there.

We somehow ended up in our own little private room!

The time stamp on this picture is 10:05- whew! I had the spicy chicken sandwich, and that sauce was amazing! The waiter said I really needed to dip the sandwich in ranch, so he brought me some and it really was so good!

The next day, we watched church at the house and then got ready for the beach! We went to Ft. Walton for acai bowls first. This little area had maybe 3 or 4 food trucks- it was cute!

A very crowded but very beautiful Navarre, FL!

Post beach grocery run!

I got this wine which was just ok. I mean, it was like $6. It reminded of the cheap wines at Trader Joe's. The bottle was cute and beachy, so I basically had to get it right??

I also got this one. I haven't tried it yet, but it was $2.99. So I'm not sure if my hopes are high or not 😂.

Sunday evening, all the "kids" (I put that in quotations, because the youngest of us is 16😂) drove to Pensacola for Dirty Dough cookies. I couldn't not snap this picture!!

I got zero pictures of the actual cookies, but here is the storefront! They were sooooo good, especially the cookies and cream. They also have a gluten free chocolate chip! All of their cookies are stuffed with something. Cookies and cream=cream filling, chocolate chip=cookie dough filling, etc.!

Monday brunch at First Watch- one of our faves! My mom actually went to the Oxford location the very next day 😂. This was their Morning Meditation juice, and it was delish! I really thought I took a pic of my food, but I guess I didn't. I got their Chikichanga with black beans instead of potatoes, and it was fabulous!! We did some shopping in Pensacola and then headed home.

On our way home, we decided we needed a Mexican fix- ha! We were going to stop at a restaurant in Mobile that we had been to before, but sadly it had closed down. It was so good, so we're not sure what happened there. We found Aztecas in Saraland, though and it was really good! I got the quesabirria, and it was pretty good. Their salsa was my favorite though!!

And then before I knew it, I was home and unpacking.....Have a happy 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...
