Friday Favorites: 11/20/2020

Hi, Friends!!  How in the world is Thanksgiving next week?!  It’s unbelievable! I am joining Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites. 

ONE: I sort of departed from Christmas movies this week and started watching The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix. Y’all, it’s so GOOD! I don’t know anything about chess but now I want to learn and play just like Beth. And dress like her too! I just realized that there is a book, The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis. Now I am going to have to read it. 

TWO: Somehow I completely forgot about these.


I picked these up for the boys as a stocking stuffer. I am probably more excited than they will be but I can't wait to see them drinking milk and hot cocoa. So cute! I did read some reviews about the letter smudging but for $2, I am not expecting them to last forever. 

THREE: Here’s my mini gift guide! These are things that will be in my stocking or under the tree. 

 
Necklaces- for layering

AND this 

Indoorsy tee


These Golden Goose dupes came from Apple Blvd.  They are a final sale and they have very limited sizes but the price was just too good to pass.  Funny story, I had Golden Goose on my list because I like the shoe but I had never priced them. Well, I was going to order some until I saw how much they cost, HA!!!  I just couldn’t justify spending that amount especially if I would only wear them a few times.  So, my $20 dupes will be under the tree! 


And you know that my fave earrings will be under the tree too!  This weekend there is a sale going on at Nickel & Suede, 20% off everything.  Here are a few favorites from my cart. I haven’t purchased because I am still trying to decide. There are also rings, a winter candle, perfume, and cute apparel. I want everything!!! 

This weekend will be a whirlwind of prepping for Thanksgiving, the start of wrapping presents, and try to finish decorating (I blame The Queen's Gambit). 

Happy Friday and enjoy your 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
