Friday Favorites {12.6.24}

 Happy first Friday of December! This month already seems to be FLYING by! I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from my week, and since I missed last week, I'll share those faves too!

Before we get into some favorites, I just wanted to mention that tomorrow marks two years since I started this blog! I shared all about it yesterday, but I wanted to say another thank you to all of you who read my blog- it means so much to me!

My love of Diet Coke runs deep. And so does my love of all things Christmas. As does my love of road trips. So seeing Santa on Diet Coke bottles made my road trip heart so happy last week!

For some beach faves....

We tried this burger spot in Seaside...

However, I am not a burger person. Ha! So, chicken ceaser salad for me. BUT, their fried pickles were so good!


We got to see one of our favorite people in the Seaside Nutcracker performance! It was so much fun!!

And then we found a really good restaurant in Fort Walton. Plus, they were so nice to seat us about 10 minutes before they closed. 

Shopping is one of my favorite things to do already, but to add Christmas lights to it is really just the cherry on top!

I started this advent devotional, and I am really enjoying it!

This is my favorite little spot currently. The different trees just make me so happy! If you want to see the rest of my Christmas decor, you can find that here!

Monday night, I made one of my very favorite soups. It has been really cold here lately, so soup and a warm blanket has been the perfect combo.

Can you feel my excitement through your screen?? I was so excited when Taylor announced that she was releasing this book. The pictures and stories are all so amazing. This would make a perfect Christmas or birthday gift for the Swifties in your life!

Spotify Wrapped came out this week, and I couldn't help but just laugh at mine...

First of all. GOOD GRIEF. This was the day The Tortured Poets Department was released, and I'm just wondering if I did anything productive that day 😂.

And for my top songs and artists...

Really no surprise here. Ha! 

Have a great weekend!

    Ahh! I guessed your top artist on Spotify would be Taylor Swift. hehehe She was mine too but mostly because of my girls.

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
