Friday Favorites - July 22, 2022

It's Friday, most everyone's favorite day of the week! It has been another hot week in Texas, so we've been staying inside in the evenings and catching up on tv and I have been reading Where the Crawdad's sing.

Coffee

Our new Keurig arrived this week, so every morning I have traded my morning hot tea for coffee. I have never been a daily coffee drinker, but we found some k-cups made by the Donut Shop which are a nutty, caramel flavor and they are delicious. I have been brewing a cup of that and adding a little heavy cream and a tiny bit of stevia. It's been fantastic! I also found these fun printed to go cups at HEB!

Television

We have been catching up on watching Parker's Trail on Discovery. He goes to New Zealand to check out gold mining there and to buy some new equipment. The scenery is gorgeous and now a trip to New Zealand has been added to my bucket list.

Outfit

My favorite outfit this week was my Wit & Wisdom jeans paired with a black splice blouse I have had in my closet forever. Thankfully, my office is casual so it's jeans every day. I formally worked in an office where I only had casual Friday, so this laid back vibe is something I really love.

I hope y'all have a fun week! Any fun weekend plans?

This week I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites!

Friday Favorites - June 27, 2025

It's been a good 2 years since I've updated this blog! I enjoy reading everyone's Friday Favorites, but kinda lost my blogging mojo. It's time to jump back in. #1 Friends This week we had a fast trip up to Cordova, TN, to a mounted shooting competition. I'd reached out to Jenn earlier this week for recommendations for restaurants in the area and she invited me to coffee! What a fun visit! I absolutely loved visiting with her and she is the same in person as she is on her blog. She's so genuine and fun! The shoot had 81 entries; we hung out with some old friends and met some new friends. My husband is in this photo with a fellow competitor he's known for over 20 years. Mounted shooting is such a small sport and we travel all over the country as competitions are far and few between. I would say we probably know or met someone from every single state and a few countries along the way. Last night, our friends came over with their kids. We had fajitas, rice a...

Friday Favorites - June 23, 2023

Here's some of my favorites from the week. #1 Whoop Band I have a couple of friends that wear a Whoop band which is pretty much a health / fitness tracker but with tons more data. I've been wearing my Whoop for about a month now and using it to improve my overall health. It's helping me see where the problems are, where improvement is needed and measures overall health. These bands are worn by a lot of pro-golfers and athletes and digging into the data can help you analyze patterns so when there's a change in your norms it gives you a heads up. Some of the pro athletes noticed their respiratory rate and heart rate variability was out of their norm several days before being tested positive for COVID. Since I'm a data nerd this band has really been a favorite lately. Here's a screen shot of one day of mine; clearing improvement is needed! #2 Margaritas If you're local to the Victoria, TX, area, you have to try the margaritas at Hacienda Restaurant in front of ...

Hello Monday & Day in the Life - Weekend

Linking up with Hello Monday and NJAM for a two in one post. Recapping our weekend! Friday was Matt's birthday, so as soon as I got home for work, he opened his gift and then we met some friends for dinner at Gonzales Bistro. Talk about delicious! This is the third time we've been to this new restaurant and it never disappoints. Three of us had Alaskan halibut and one had salmon. Saturday I spent more time working in the garden until it got super hot. We had a high of 92°F! I planted a few more pepper plants I picked up at HEB as well as some cucumber plants and seeds. I put up the trellis for the cucumbers and also decided to plant some luffa seeds and pole beans. Growing luffa and pole beans are new for me, so we'll see how it goes. Saturday afternoon, Matt's parents were at home, so we invited them over for birthday cake. The birthday guy requested tres leches cake and it did not disappoint! I had a local bakery make it and they did a fantastic job...
