Happy Friday! Whew - it's been awhile. I'm so glad to be linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. 

First up...

I took a little unintentional break from blogging during the month of December. My family was hit hard with one illness after another! I made sure to recap the month of December as best as I could. Read about it here.

One of my favorite things has been enjoying this Tatcha beauty set. I really love the fun sets Sephora comes out with around the holidays, and Dustin gifted me this one. It's a great way to try new products without committing to a full size! My favorites have been the Rice Wash facial cleanser and the Dewy Skin Cream. The products have a really nice scent to them, without being overwhelming. 

I finished this book on January 3rd, and I honestly wonder if it will be my book of the year of 2024. IT WAS SO GOOD! It follows the story of a young girl who has "The Knowing," or has premonitions and can read the minds of others. Sounds weird, right? I tell you, I could not put it down. It takes a lot to keep me up late these days, and this book did it. 😉


Another favorite this week is this book. I read one tip a day, and it gives me just a little inspiration about ways to elevate my home. There's been inspiration about making your bed, playing spa music in your home...just lots of good little ideas. 


We were back to school and work on Tuesday, and that meant that it was necessary to start cooking real dinners this week. One night we had Sloppy Joe Bowls, which are always a favorite dish of mine. After lots of holiday indulging, it felt good to eat "real" food. 

It's a short and sweet post today! I'm off to spend the weekend with my boys. Happy Friday! XX

    Oh no! I hope everyone is feeling better now after all of the illness.
    I love the gift sets at Christmas, I got a couple to try out a few things without having to pay a silly price.
    My youngest is back at college on Monday so that's when our routine and cooking real dinners start. Eek!
    Have a great weekend.

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...

Friday Favorites [9-13-2024]

  HOORAY for Friday. 😊 I couldn't be more excited for the weekend ahead! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some of my favorite "happies" from the week.  We had THE BEST weekend last weekend! Saturday morning we were up and out the door early for a trip to Trader Joe's where we filled out cart with all the pumpkin-goodness we could find.  We were home by 11 and decided it was time to put some more fall decor outside... ...to the delight of the boys. 😉 We have an inflatable dachshund (of course we do) that says "Happy Fall-oween!" It's a favorite of the boys for sure.  A trip to Trader Joe's means that my family is having yummy (easy!) dinners during the week. I made a ridiculously easy  Potsticker Stir Fry  for an easy dinner this week while Dustin worked late. We also made some yummy flat breads using their Carne Asada, chimichurri sauce and arugula. This one was our FAVORITE!  Jack's favorite thing to do these day...
