Friday Favorites - November 4, 2022

Happy Friday! I'm looking forward to gorgeous weather this weekend. I'm in full Thanksgiving prep, so I'll be making sure I have everything I need for the big meal from appetizers to turkey frying oil and everything in between. 

Sunrises

This week has had some spectacular sunrises. Here's one I took on my walk early one morning. The air was crisp and fall was in the air. 



Our flowers are also in full bloom. The flowerbeds are full of yellow mums. I overwintered these mums from last year and if I remember correctly the blooms were a little more orange last year. They're still festive though!





Reading

I have been sitting in my usual reading spot on the porch reading Four Thousand Weeks, Time Management for Mortals (affiliate link). It's not a typical time management, productivity geek book, but more focused on enjoying what really matters in life. Perfect reminder for the holiday season. 



Food

My wonder mother-in-law made up some bacon wrapped shrimp with jalapenos and sent those over for us to grill. I'm lucky to be blessed with a wonderful second mama! Matt grilled these up to perfection! 





Funny Memes from this Week








I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!

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

Friday Favorites - August 8

  Happy Friday Friends! I've done absolutely terrible at life photos lately, but I'd thought I'd share a few things I'm loving in my life right now.  #1 Baccarat Rogue Room Spray I bought this room spray for my office and it's a pretty dead ringer for this high end luxury perfume. It makes my glum office feel a little more luxe. Two sprays is all it takes and it smells good for hours. They also have a candle. I got it awhile back and they've since had to remove the word Baccarat, but this is the same product just new packaging.  #2 Spotify Playlist Also office related, but this is also a favorite in home playlist of mine. The Spanish Guitar Instrumentals is just great background music. No words, but relaxing guitar. Makes me feel like I'm a fancy resort on the shores of the Caribbean. I also put my air pods in at the office and play this. It drowns out some of the noise from the fab shop.  #3 Caroline Girvan's App (CGX) I've done two rounds of Carol...

Friday Favorites - September 12

Happy Friday Friends! It has been awhile since I've updated, but I have a few things to share.  #1 Fishing in Canada      We had a whirlwind adventure to Minnesota then to Canada! We were invited by friends living in Minnesota to join their fishing trip to Savant Lake in Ontario. We flew into MSP, spent a few days hanging out at our friend's ranch in Buffalo, MN, then we caravanned up to Savant Lake. We stayed at Cliff & Roma's Wilderness Camp. Most people go in via float plane, but we had 12 peoples so we opted to take the trail in. It's about 5 miles to get back to the camp and lake. We had two four wheelers, a CanAm and a trailer. It took about 90 minutes to get all the way back to the camp, but once we got there it was a view! The cabins are all set right on the shores of Savant Lake and the camp is ran by the best people. We fished for walleye and pike and ate our fill! We even brought some HEB tortillas to make fish tacos. Warmed those right up on the wood ...

Friday Favorites - July 25

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I have some shopping plans and we're hosting some of my husband's college friends for the weekend. We have some yummy drinks and foods planned for the weekend.  #1 Birthdays & Spa Days We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday! We had a party for her to celebrate on Sunday then Monday we went to the Lake Austin Spa. Voted by Conde Nast as the #1 spa destination in the US. It didn't disappoint! We had massages and facials and spent time lounging by the pool.  #2 Desserts Some of y'all know I have a more professional blog. I added a new recipe over there for The Best Vanilla Whoopie Pies with Buttercream Filling ! So yummy! We've been eating on these throughout the week, but they are HUGE so we generally split one.  #3 A New Minimalist Purse I've been having such should pain and finally gave in that it was in fact my heavy, very large purse I'd been carrying. I ordered this cross body with...
