Monthly Musings {July 2024}

 Happy Thursday!! I'm linking up with Holly and Patty today for the July edition of Monthly Musings! How are we already at the end of July???

1. We've been to the beach twice, and Caleb and I are hopefully going on a trip sometime in the next couple weeks....work permitting!

2. My favorite thing from this summer was hands down, our family beach trip to Grayton! It was so. much. fun!!!

3. Dresses, dresses, and more dresses!! Short, long, dressed up, dressed down, tennis dresses, sun dresses, shift dresses....all the dresses.

I also love just a simple tee and jeans outfit like this one!

4. Gresham bracelets! These are my absolute favorite for all year, but especially summer. You can "swim, sweat, shower" in them, plus they can be worn dressed up or down!

5. These flats from Target...

Or, I still love my Birkenstocks and wear them quite often. The Target flats are great for sooo many outfits, though. I usually wear the Birks very casually. I'm not seeing the exact sandals I have, but these are super cute and will go great into fall!

6. Hmmm. We bought a new mattress. VERY spontaneous 😂.

7. I just watched Something's Gotta Give yesterday, and I feel that it's very summery.

I mean...don't you agree?? Also, I'd like to be Diane Keaton in my next life, please and thank you!

8. I don't love ice cream, like, it's not my go to dessert really ever. But, I have eaten it quite a bit this summer!

9. Bring on fall!!!!

10. I don't have kids, but I am in school. Not ready for that quite yet! I'm still in my last summer class, but it's been fine with just the one. Not sure I'm ready for four classes at once yet!

Have a great Thursday!

  1. I have driven through Grayton beach but never stayed. We have stayed in Destin and Niceville, which are all in that same region. It's funny because those areas sound far (2, 2.5 hours) but if you looked at them on a map compared to Tallahassee, it doesn't seem that far at all!

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...
