Friday Favorites - December 9, 2022

Happy Friday! I'm looking forward to a fun weekend! We're going to a holiday festival in a neighboring small town where they have wine vendors set up for a wine tasting. Looking forward to going to that! 

My favorite meal this week was this chicken and pear salad. I used pre-grilled frozen chicken breasts from Sam's, cut up a pear and grilled it on the indoor griddle and put it on top of buttercrunch lettuce with cranberries and sugared pecans. I used Brianna's Honey Ginger Vinaigrette dressing. Super easy to pull together!  




Matt planted rye grass in the yard for the winter and it is so lush and green. I love it!! You can see the moon rising peeking out behind the tree just to the left of the roof. 




Reading

I finished A California Christmas by Brenda Novak this week!  I love reading seasonal themed books; any recommendations for what I should read next?




Holiday Cheer

All of the office girls where gifted poinsettia's at work this week. I chose this gorgeous white one; she's adding a little extra cheer to my office space this month. 


At home, I have been turning on the tree lights every evening and just savoring the season. 





Funnies from this Week








I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!

This week I'm linking up with Erika & 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 - 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...

Friday Favorites - July 11

  Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I don't have a lot on the schedule, but I have some plans on my to do list. Looking forward to some walks outside in the sunshine, tackling a few projects and relaxing.  #1 Baking My friend Stephanie and I baked kolaches. She's a pro at it and helped me; we split these up for the July 4th weekend. Red (raspberry), White (cream cheese) and Blue (poppy seed). They were all so good and disappeared quickly this week. These were so easy! Just Rhodes dinner roll dough and Solo pastry filling. We did make the topping and cream cheese filling from scratch .  #2 Health Getting back on the health and wellness track. I had a skin check at the dermatologist which I haven't done in 10+ years. I went to a new clinic and it was a little bit of a drive (about 90 miles), but I really liked the staff. All good news! Yay!  I also did my Caroline Girvan Iron program workouts twice this week, cold plunged twice and used the s...
