Monthly Musings {January 2025}

 Happy Thursday! We are sooo close to the weekend and so close to February! I am linking up with Holly and Patty today for the first Monthly Musings of 2025!

1. What do you do to stay warm in the winter?

Heated blanket!! I'm using mine as I type this!

2. Favorite wintertime activity?

Staying inside. Where it's warm. 😂

3. Any different beauty routines in winter?

Lots of extra moisture! My skin gets so dry in the winter. Whether it's thick night creams, serums, or oils, I just like to lock in as much moisture as possible.

4. Skating, sledding, or skiing?

I hug the wall when I ice skate. I've never been sledding. I have never tried to ski. I don't get out too much in the winter- ha!

5. Favorite winter recipes?

All the soups, red beans and rice, and baked goods!

6. Favorite winter hot beverage?

Coffee!

7. Best winter memories?

Anytime it has ever snowed way down here in Mississippi!

8. Coldest day that you remember?

Last year around MLK Jr. Day...we had lots of ice on the roads, and it was FREEZING! 

This was me on that frigid night!

9. How are you practicing self care this winter?

Keeping up with my skincare, getting in an exercise or walk when I can, WATER. I think we feel like we need less water in the winter, but we need tons!

10. Flannel sheets...yes or no?

Big fat NO from me! I love a crisp, cool sheet!

Have a great Tuesday!

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...
