Everyday Maddie

 Happy, happy Friday!! And happy last day of February! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites! Ok, first up... I ready a reeeeaaalllyyyy good book this week! I haven't read a book in a while, and my goal is to read a bit more in March, so I hope to have a book review post at the end of the month! I have gotten dressed in something other than leggings I think every day this week! I didn't take any pics- oops- except for yesterday.... Ok, if y'all aren't following Catherine, mixandmatchmadness on IG, you should! She's always got the cutest outfits and accessories. But anyway, I wanted to try and recreate an outfit she posted on her stories. Here is her version. And mine....obviously not as bright colors, but I think the style is there with the eyelet detail top, jeans, and sneakers! Another fashion fave.... After seeing the Colette cropped pants from Anthropologie  literally everywhere for the last week or so, I decided I must need a pai...

 Happy Thursday, friends! I'm here to link up with Holly and Patty for Monthly Musings!! Each month has a festive theme, we answer some questions, and link back to Holly and Patty! For the month of LOVE, we are talking about..... How we show LOVE.   1. What is your love language?  Ok, I took a quiz to find out, because I really wasn't sure. Well, apparently my primary love language is quality time. I would say that's pretty accurate! And not just with Caleb, but with family too! 2. Favorite love songs? Well, wouldn't you know...anything Taylor Swift 😂. Some favorites include Enchanted, Lover, So High School. 3. Flowers, chocolate, or something else? Flowers and chocolate were all I told Caleb I wanted this year! We never do anything big for Valentine's, so I think that's perfect. These roses were from Trader Joe's a couple years ago. Aren't they so pretty?? 4. Favorite romantic/romcom movie? I love Valentine's Day (especially on the day!) and many...

 Happy last Wednesday of February!! Well, unlike January, this month FLEW by. I know it's a bit shorter, but goodness January just drags, and then I feel like the rest of the year just speeds by. As always for the last Wednesday of the month, I am linking up with Sheaffer and Shay to share a bit about the month.  1: WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK Monday night we had this sausage pasta. Tuesday we had frozen pizza. Tonight we are going to a life group and will eat dinner there. Tomorrow night will be red beans and rice. Friday night I'm thinking Chick-fil-a or Mexican. I mean, it will be my birthday weekend! (So, probably Mexican 😉) 2: WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT I think every month lately has been this.... I have never been a beach person, but this winter I have really been looking forward to getting back to Florida! 3: WHAT I'M LOVING This. This right here. 79???? Yes, please. 4: WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO Work, school, same old same old. 5: WHAT I'M DREADING In th...

 Happy Tuesday, friends!! I wanted to do a fun little post today, so here are all the things I LOVE to do that maybe some people do not like doing. Painting my nails. I feel like when I tell people that I do my own nails, they always say something like "oh I don't know how you do that", "I could never", etc. But I really love doing them myself! It's one of my very favorite forms of self care!! I like to turn on a show while I do them and just relax. Wiping down the counter tops. I do this approximately 3000 times a day. Anyone else? I don't have a ton of kitchen counter space, but I love for it to be completely clean. I don't want to accidentally touch anything sticky. I also love getting fun new scented counter sprays! I love Mrs. Meyers, Method, and Safely- I can find them all at Kroger. Cooking. I may not do it very often (ha!), but I actually love to cook. Like, I love the experience of it. Especially when I am trying new recipes! I like to pour ...

 Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! I am linking up with Holly and Sarah to share about my weekend. On Friday I made this little snack plate for while I did some school work. I came across this on IG and could not agree more! Bring on SUMMER. We packed up and headed to Madison for Taylan's last basketball game..... Go #22!! Ains was the only one who slowed down for me to take a pic! I had just given her those little pink hoops and she's too cute in them! Saturday morning, Caleb and I headed to The Blend to get some teas before we headed out to my brother Jake's baseball game. This pic was taken after I finished my tea and refilled with water....I have to get every last bit of flavor left 😂 Game time in my cute bracelets!  I found these through Erika (A Little Bit of Everything Blog).  My mom and I both love these bracelets! And guess who got to come to the game! Reid LOVES to watch Jake play, whether it's football or baseball. He also filled u...

 Happy Friday, friends! How was your week?? As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from my week. First up though, I ordered a few things from Old Navy that I am excited about getting in. Here's what I grabbed.... This dress. I think this will be so cute with sneakers, sandals, or wedges. This style top is always a classic , especially in the black and white stripes. And I thought this top was so cute! Everything I got (plus so much more!) is on a bit of a sale and will be so cute this spring and summer! I can't remember if I have shared this or not before, but I used it quite a bit this week..... I swear by this stuff! I really don't keep my nails super long (they're pretty long right now, though!), but when I do they are super strong and do not break thanks to this cream! This made me LOL.... I am so over this trend on Tik Tok. But this one, I like 😂. This has been my morning water situation this week.... I really do not know that I am ...
