A Whole Bunch of Random

 Happy Wednesday!! I have so many random things to share with you all today!

1. First up, no post yesterday....I think I am going to move into a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule for now....I feel like I've done good this semester balancing school, life, blog, etc., but we're at the tail end, and things are getting crazy. So, for now I will catch y'all MWF!

2. Super super random, BUT if you leave a comment on my blog (especially with a question!), I try to get back to you on the same day, so check back later in the day or maybe the next day. Unless one falls through the cracks, I pretty much always respond! Just wanted y'all to know that 😘 

3. Yesterday, I started my morning off being super productive...

Fridge clean out and prepped some things for the week! Tuna salad, a big green salad for us to have with lunch and dinner, and cut up strawberries and celery. A clean out was very much needed! So much better now!

4. New mascara alert!

I picked up about three different brands to choose from the other day at Ulta, but I ultimately landed on this one. I LOVE. It does not clump. Like at all. So good!!

5. One thing about me is that I am going to be influenced! Ha! Especially when it comes to my health (but y'all, I only listen to doctors with years and years of medical training. I do not take medical advice from random people who have no medical background! If you do, that's your business but don't want y'all to think that's what I'm telling you to do!). But anyway, I digress. LadySpineDoc is one of my favorite people to follow on Tik Tok- she is a board certified neurosurgeon! She just got back from a trip to Italy and was sharing one of her must have travel items when on a long flight- compression socks! So, I had to grab a pair. I sit a whole lot during the day doing school work, so I figured it definitely couldn't hurt to occasionally wear some.

She showed a different brand, but I went with my fave- Bombas! I'm wearing a pair of their ankle socks right now 🙂.

6. Yesterday's OOTD....

I wore a tennis dress, and you can't see it in this pic, but I wore a sports bra under it for extra coverage (thanks to Catherine @mixandmatchmadness for that tip! Why did I never think of that?? By the way, follow her and join her broadcast channels on IG! She is super active on stories/broadcast channels/dms and SO helpful when it comes to getting dressed each day). Also tied the sweatshirt around my neck to keep my back from being cold- ha! And see the Bombas socks?? Love them!

7. Easter prep.

Sometime this week, I am going to try on my dress once more (I steamed it yesterday, so that's done!), and I will try on all jewelry and shoes with it! We will go to Madison for Easter, so I'll have to pack in advance! Just something I am doing- maybe you need to as well?!

8. Dinner this week!

Monday after Caleb got home from work, we went to the grocery store. Can't decide if lucky or unlucky for us, but Wing Stop is right by our Kroger. So, guess what we got for dinner Monday night!

Yes, after grocery shopping! Yeah, anyway...

We grabbed chicken, salmon, sweet potatoes for me, russet potatoes for Caleb, and salad to have for dinners the rest of the week. I'm trying to eat a bit more clean this week! Ya know, except for Wing Stop on Monday! So good, though!!

9. Clean your rings, ladies!! How much more random can I get- ha! I was going to end this post at 8 things, but I felt like I had to share this! Here's how I do it (and I only do this on diamonds! I'm not sure how colored gemstones would fare with this method)...get a little dish that is microwave safe, little dab of dish soap, add water, microwave for 30 seconds (do not put your jewels in the microwave!!), add in your diamond jewelry after you take the dish out of the microwave. Let them soak until the water is no longer warm. If you have a toothbrush you can use, brush a bit, then rinse! Super easy and will have your diamonds sparkling like crazy!

10. Might as well round it out to 10, right?? Well...

Reid is officially SIX. His birthday was yesterday, and goodness I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday....

Was that enough random for ya?? Have a very happy Wednesday, and remember, I will see y'all back here Friday!

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...

Friday Favorites {6.6.25}

 Happy Friday, friends!! How was your week? One of my summer classes started this week, so I have been getting back into a bit of a routine which is nice! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from the week.  How cute is our new wreath sash?? My mom got it for us, and I am obsessed! Lots of food faves this week.... Another salsa I am now obsessed with! I found this at Aldi, and y'all it is SO good! I used it in a recipe, but I am definitely going to get another jar to eat for a snack or with lunch or dinner! Now for a Tik Tok "recipe". I used quotations, because it's really just a chop/open a can and throw together situation. Corn, black beans, pinto beans, onion, tomato, cilantro. I ate it with tortilla chips for lunch this week. It was so good! Next time, I would add more tomato and use less onion (maybe even no onion at all), and I should have chopped up the cilantro a little better! I also squeezed in some lime juice and added salt a...
