Friday Favorites: 10/23/2020

Happy Friday, friends!!!  I can't believe there is only 1 week left in October which means that next week will be filled with Halloween fun and excitement. 

I am joining Andrea this week for Friday Favorites! It is always such a fun link up and I enjoy reading everyone’s post too.


ONE: Last weekend, we were able to get away to a tiny house about an hour and half away.  We were only there for one night which was perfect for us. We had so much fun!  There was a pond for fishing, trails, and a fire pit. B took C on a lot of adventures outside while I stayed with D inside.  He didn't seem to mind...he just played with his cars.  It was good for the soul to escape!




TWO: Short hair, don't care!!  I went to the salon for a little root touch up and haircut on Monday.  Over the summer, I went to another stylist while I was visiting my parents and things went horribly wrong.  My hair was long and all I wanted was a trim and some highlights. Well, I walked out with a really bad haircut and orange hair!!! I tried to let it grow out and "deal with it" but it just didn't feel like me. So, on Monday I cut my hair to my chin, the grays,  and dry damaged orange hair went away.  Y'all, even though my hair is shorter than I have had in awhile it feels so good to change it. I LOVE IT! 


THREE: One of our items on our Fall Bucket List was to make a Halloween craft.  I looked on Pinterest and tried to find an easy art project. 


These ghosts turned out so cute. I can't wait for family to receive their Halloween cards!  
 
FOUR: You know my die hard love for Nickel and Suede and I know that some of YOU are already fans as well. This weekend is the official Grand Opening for their N&S store in Dallas!!!  Kilee Nickels, founder of N&S, will be there so I am going to try and make it. Please keep your fingers crossed! I was able to meet her in June when they had a soft opening but I just want to help celebrate the beautiful store and show support!    

I found a couple of other fun things to do this weekend so I hope that we can go to some of them. They are community events and sometimes A LOT of people (which we want to avoid, of course) attend so we will see what happens.  

It is supposed to get much colder this weekend so I have my mug ready for a little apple cider.  I hope you have a great weekend too!

    Your hair looks super cute! I tend to do that every now and then too and love the change- up of new hairstyles.

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
