Friday Favorites: 10/2/2020

It's Friday which means another Friday Favorites with Andrea and Erika!   

I just have a few favorites to share this week. I hope that these little things that made me happy will inspire you in some way. 

ONE: Tuesday was National Coffee Day and who am I to argue with this (maybe made up) holiday! I loaded the boys and we headed to Starbucks.  I only have 3 drinks (java chip frappe, chai tea latte, and hot chocolate) that I usually order.  I am a fan of sweet coffee drinks and I never know how to order at Starbucks so I tend to always drink the same old. But, I decided that I would try something new and I went with the Pumpkin Cold Brew.  It was good and definitely felt like a "fall" drink. I especially enjoyed the foam and would have liked more of that but it wasn't bad and by the time we got home I had finished it.  I think next time I'll ask them to make it a little sweeter. Kinda random but I love the new lid!


TWO: The boys and I have been having some fun this week!  I made chocolate chip muffins one morning and we took them to a spot in our neighborhood and had a picnic.  It was so fun and made me so happy to create this little memory with them.  


Then, C and I decorated our sidewalk yesterday while D was napping. It was everything Halloween and fall that we could think of and that I could draw.  Just some simple ideas but it made the week a little more special.


THREE:  If you are needing some Halloween inspiration, you can find my post from yesterday HERE.  I linked some great Halloween shirts from Target like this one...seriously SO CUTE!


FOUR: I just have to give a shout out to Ella from Little Bit of Life.  She made the cutest graphics (like the one below) and shared them on her blog.  This young girl is doing what she loves and sharing it with such confidence.  It just made me happy and I realized that I need to find a little more of that in my life!  Here’s to being more confident, a little braver, and finding what we love!
  
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

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

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

Hello Monday: Currently

Ahhhhhh, friends! Last week was a doozy. I love you TX but not your crazy weather.  Then  Now  I thought today I would just share a few things currently on my mind or currently going on in our life. It will be random but that’s how it goes!  #1- As you know, TX got hit with snowstorms and very frigid temps last week. At times, we were even colder than Alaska.   We heard from our family and friends and some were dealing with the rolling outages, no power for hours which went into days, and no water.  We were very lucky because our only issue was spotty cable/ internet. It was hard knowing that others were suffering while we were okay. However, we did what was encouraged and that was to conserve energy and water. We unplugged appliances, lowered our heat, and used only the microwave or air fryer to cook meals.  We did get to enjoy the snow, had a snowball fight  and made snow angels.  We had to improvise when it came to our snow gear.  We layered socks for mittens and we had these boots
