Friday Favorites: 1/29/21

It’s a good day to have a good day!  

It's Friday and it’s almost February which are all good things in my book.  I am linking up with Erika and Andrea for: 

Just a warning that this might be the Valentine’s Friday Favorites edition!

ONE: OH MY! I picked up this yummy chocolate goodness and now it is my duty to share it with you. 


YES!!!! 

You can eat it raw! I did try it raw and let me tell you it did not disappoint. I sent a pic to my mom and told her I what I did and she immediately told me I was going to get sick. I sent her this pic giving her all the facts that it was safe. HA!


I only baked a few because I have no self-control.  I am happy to report that everyone loved them. They were easy, yummy, and baked to perfection. 


TWO: I am bringing all the FUN into our house with our Valentine decor. I picked up the oh so fancy heart garland from Dollar Tree.  I got about 5 so I could spread them everywhere.  



I also love buying holiday plates and a table cover for any occasion. It always makes things feel a little more festive! 


THREE: I was a little sad about C not having anyone to prepare Vday treat bags this year. The local mom group that I am a part of on FB came up with the cutest idea, a Pal-entine Porch Drop off. I signed up C and he got assigned a little kiddo who is 2. We bought some goodies for him and then we drop off the week of Valentine’s. It’s COVID safe and C gets to have a little Valentine fun as well as receive a surprise too. 


These are the goodies we bought our little pal-entine. We added some applesauce, snack bag of Oreos, and some Dum Dums in the sack. We are set and I can’t wait to deliver it.

FOUR: Well, Bath and Body Works dropped their Bake Shop collection which is a BIG favorite of mine.  The Strawberry Pound Cake smells so yummy. I got several plug ins and soaps in that scent. I only picked the other soap bc it was pink and had a cute message. 


FIVE: This one is a little early but I saw it at Dollar Tree and knew I needed to scoop it up. I think we will do this sometime before Easter. It’s easy and cute. I am going to try and pick up a few more bc it would be a great present for the grandparents.

    I need to try that brownie dough!! Our family loves all of the Pillsbury things, their cookie dough is so good as well as their cinnamon rolls! I love your decor, my family never decorates much for Valentine’s day, but I think we should get that garland! Hope you have a wonderful day!

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
