Friday Favorites: 9/11/2020

It's Fri-YAY! I am joining in the fun for Friday Favorites with Andrea and Erika!  

ONE. First favorite has to be the cooler temps in TX, hallelujah!!! 


I may have stepped out a few times throughout the day so I could feel the chill in the air.  It really felt like fall!!!

TWO. I was able to find a few minutes and polish my nails this week.  I desperately needed it and a little self-care for mama is always good.  I picked some of my favorite colors for fall and will probably be wearing these through November. Is that too long? HA!!  I usually pick up my Essie polish from TJ Maxx because it helps me save a few bucks.  These are both from a  few years ago but great colors to transition to fall.

THREE.  Spending quality time with C! We did a little bit of "school" using worksheets that he gets to pick out and he was introduced to Candy Land.  He got it as a Christmas present from a sweet neighbor but I saved it for when he was a little older and he could handle it. We pulled it out this week and he did such a good job. Since it was our first time playing, I was a little lenient with the rules. He did win every time but he did great with counting the spaces, taking turns, and attending to the game. There were no major meltdowns so that is a WIN in my book. He had fun and wanted to play with his daddy before bed.  It was really cute.  And now, Candy Land is on repeat!


FOUR.   Fall Favorites link up with Emily and Sarah was a favorite this week! 

                                                                         
  
It was all about our favorite fall scents. I loved getting to read about everyone's faves and finding some new goodies too.  In case you missed it, you can read all about it HERE.  The upcoming topics are fall decor, fall fashion, and fall entertainment. I can not wait! 

9/11.  A day that is forever marked in our hearts.  I was in college in 2001 and I remember waking up to the news.  I was scared and immediately called my mom. It was such a tragic day for America. I will never forget.

I appreciate those that stop by and read!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your loved ones.

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Honoring Dr. King

Hey there!   I am linking up with a great group of bloggers:  In honor of Dr. King, I wanted to share what I’ll be doing to remember and honor him. What remarkable words!  I thought it would be fun for the boys to color a picture of MLK. There are tons on  Pinterest but I really like this one from Crayola . If you have older kiddos, you can always google “facts about MLK.” It’s  a great way to discuss and learn more about him with your family. Martin Luther King, Jr. is taught in textbooks at school but how amazing would it be to bring the conversation into our homes about MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.  Did you know that MLK basically skipped high school? He attended Morehouse College when has was 15! He skipped 9th - 12th grade.  That is one of the facts I learned while researching about him.  I’ll leave you with a few more nuggets. Let’s DO better and BE better!  Make it a great Monday, friends.  -A-

Friday Favorites: 1/22/21

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t
