Hello Monday {1.26.26}

 Happy Monday, friends! I am linking up with Holly and Sarah today to share about my weekend.

This weekend was heavy. The things that are happening in the U.S., specifically Minnesota, are not okay. I never intended for this space to be anything other than happy or positive, but I don't feel good about about continuing to post without at least mentioning that I do not support these things going on. I do not support ICE, and I do not support this current administration. Just please know that this is a safe space, no matter what. 💗

With the "winter storm" we were expecting, we hunkered down this weekend. As I am typing this post, we have only gotten light rain and super cold temps. My school is closed today due to the threat of icy roads, so we'll see!

Friday night, I made super easy french dip sliders- Hawaiian rolls with roast beef and provolone, served with Au Jus gravy.

Saturday morning coffee before we ran to Walmart to grab some snacks and things for the weekend and this week.

I have never seen this flavor Chobani creamer before- so good!

More coffee and laying in bed.

Caleb ran to get his work computer and came back with wine- ha!

Desperate Housewives all day- yes please! I certainly did not take the safety and warmth of my home for granted this weekend.

This doesn't look super appetizing, but I made green chile enchilada soup for dinner. It sure tasted good!

We had a little bit of ice Saturday night, but it was gone by Sunday morning.

Coffee and Friends on Sunday morning. Sometimes it's nice to be forced to slow down.....

I changed from pjs into....

fancier pjs??😂 

And this was my dinner last night while watching Bad Moms. Why not?!

I hope you all had a safe and warm weekend! Here's to a new week that hopefully brings nothing but peace and goodness. 💗

  1. That 2 piece set is so cute! We had snow all day yesterday and are supposed to get up to another 3-5 inches today so I"ll be spending another day around the house.

    1. Thank you!! Wow! I wish we were getting snow instead of ice. Stay warm!

  2. I'm so sorry about the heaviness for our country, especially for people in Minnesota. I was watching videos yesterday, and what I saw was horrific. It reminded me of WW2 with the Nazis, honestly. It's not okay.

    On a much lighter note, I'm so glad you're safely at home and warm. I am too! My school canceled on Saturday for today; I don't think we'll be able to open all week, and if we do it'll be a miracle. We have nothing but ice, at least ten inches, and won't get above freezing until a week from today. Yikes! Stay cozy, sweet friend and enjoy your binge watching and wine!

    1. It is extremely heartbreaking.
      Oh goodness all week! I imagine we will go back tomorrow. Stay safe Jenn!

  3. I have watched the news about what is happening in the US and it is awful. The current administration has a lot to answer for. It's not right and it's not OK.
    What a cosy weekend! That creamer sounds good and well done Caleb for stocking up on the wine!

    1. It's truly so terrible, meanwhile there are people who are turning a blind eye.
      It was a really nice and slow weekend! He sure knows the way to my heart lol.

  4. Pericles said it best..."Just because you do not take an interest in politics, does not mean that politics won't be interested in you" indicating the dangers of apathy and the need for peaceful activism to counter tyranny. Education is power, you may want to check out the site "Political Wire" which is one of the best news aggregates/analysis sites on the internet. It's a left leaning site, however as a moderate Republican fed up with this administrations' march toward fascism, I've found it to be a valuable resource.

    1. Yes, so true. Everyone is going to be affected by this in some way. Thank you for sharing that site. I will check it out!

  5. It is so horrifying what's happening here - and more horrifying that so many people are excusing it. I also change into my fancier pjs when it's stormy - I always say I'm putting on my daytime pajamas. ;)

    1. That has frustrated me so much recently....there are people that literally do not care what is happening, and I don't get it.
      Daytime pajamas...I love it!!

  6. Oh your weekend looks like cozy bliss! Love your show choices and that popcorn looks heavenly! Glad you are warm and safe!

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...

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 {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...
