Currently: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday! I am linking up with Amy over at Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa today for Currently!

I am.....

Currently loving.....

These candles from Amazon! They look super expensive and smell fantastic! {Santal Woods}

I am loving the pink for Valentine's! {Rose Lychee}

Currently resolving.....

This is one I had to think about it. I really am resolving how I want to go about shopping this year. I am tired of buying things that only last a season and are super cheap. I am really going to try and shop less, but shop for higher quality pieces.

Currently planning.....

I am *trying* to plan a trip. My only problem is that I am not interested in a budget 😂. I am itching for summer, so I really want to go somewhere sunny and warm!

Currently eating/drinking.....

I felt like after vacation and all the Christmas treats, it was time to cook food at home that is semi-healthy.

Monday night, I made chicken sausage and broccoli orzo.

Tuesday I made chicken and black bean enchiladas.

Not sure how we will go about the rest of the week, but we have easy Zatarain's red beans and rice and the stuff to make my goat cheese and penne.

And for drinking...

This is my favorite chardonnay!

I'm not doing dry January, but I am at least trying to drink less than I was before Christmas. 

I grabbed this pack of mojito mocktails at Aldi the other day- actually really good!

Currently watching/reading.....

I am reading The God of the Woods by Liz Moore, and I just started another rewatch of Desperate Housewives!

Have a great Wednesday!

  3. Those candles looks really fancy!
    Good luck with the shopping less, I have been thinking the same thing. Buying better so the items last longer. Ohh! The trip planning sounds like a lot of fun!
    I am doing dry January, so far so good but we're only on day 7. lol

    1. Good luck to you!! I have done dry January once I think- it didn't end up being as hard as I thought!

  4. The broccoli orzo sounds good!
    I think buying more quality pieces is a habit I've picked up in the last few years. Even brands like Carly Jean Los Angeles and Free People give me so much more wear for my money.

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...

 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...

 Happy last Friday of August! As always, I am here to link up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from my week.  To be honest, it feels out of touch to make this post. After the devastating news of yet another school shooting, my heart is so heavy. Innocent lives taken and still no changes from people in power. I honestly do not know how anyone can see news like this and not be enraged and demanding for change. I do not get political on here, because that is not what I want for this space. However, I feel the need to share my thoughts about this. America needs gun control. ALL Americans need access to healthcare, especially when it comes to mental health. America needs change. Remember these things when you vote. Think about your babies, their friends, their teachers. Stay aware, stay educated. But also please make sure you spend time doing things that bring you joy (it's good for your mental health!). That is at least what I am going to do. With that being said, here ar...
