Let's Look: February 2026

 Happy Wednesday! It's time for the February installment of Let's Look with Shay and Erika!

In January, we "looked" at THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET.

Today, we are "looking" at.....

WAYS WE'VE TURNED INTO OUR PARENTS.

My mom is going to love this 😂.

#1 First and foremost...I want to come home from work, get in something comfy, and get in MY BED. I used to never understand how my mom could possibly get in bed so dang early. Well, here I am. 25 years old, in my bed at 7:30 on any given day of the week.

#2 I’m EARLY everywhere I go. Thanks mom! I’m actually glad that my mom always got me where I needed to be early. I think constant tardiness is just rude. I'm early to appointments, work, meetings, etc.

#3 “Because I said so” comes out of my mouth far too often. It’s not my favorite phrase, but jeez sometimes it's just necessary. I remember asking "but whyyyy?" and my mom's response being "because I said so." It feels like a right of passage now lol.

#4 I drink regular Coke. Ok, I am very much a Diet Coke lover, but I do drink regular Coke a lot more often than I used to. It's my mom's favorite!

#5 I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I feel like I'm a good person. I have my mom to thank for that, once again. I say hello to strangers. I help people in the grocery store to reach something high up. I clean up after myself. I care about others. 

I can't wait to read everyone else's answers! Have a great Wednesday!

  1. This did make me chuckle and think of the ways I am turning into my parents. I always say Because I said so. It just need saying when kids always ask why, why, why!

  2. Oh yes that "because I said so" really does just work sometimes!

  3. Well this just made my entire week especially #5. If you learned nothing else from me other than that and to love Jesus then my job was done! ❤️

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 {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...

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...
