Friday Favorites: 3/26/21

Hi!!! 

It’s been a busy week with A LOT happening so this was the only post I could get done.  Let’s go ahead and jump into my favorites from the week! 

Linking up with Erika and Andrea: 

Just so you know, my favorite finds are usually things that I love, bring me joy, something I have seen, or things from everyday life. It’s nothing fancy and most of the time my pictures are not the best quality. However, I hope you will find inspiration, something new, or we can just bond over a fave! 

ONE: C was needing new shorts and Wal-Mart did not have anything. So, I went to my next favorite place...Old Navy.  



I selected a few staples for him which should last through the fall.  We bought these in the past and they hold up nicely.  They were only $6. 

TWO: Easter snuck up on me and I just decorated this week. I kept it simple this year but seeing the decorations has been a favorite!  Now, I am looking at finding an activity for C that explains why we celebrate Easter 


THREE: I needed a few beauty items from Target and I saw that you could get a $10 gift card when you spend $40 on beauty products. I usually never pay attention to those things because I can never get to the amount needed. Not this time!!! I easily added items and got my $10 gift card.  It seriously made my day! This was my little beauty haul. 


All of the items except the white strips are new to me. 

FOUR: One of the reasons we were busy was that I interviewed with a school district yesterday.  All went well and now I wait.  Here is my interview outfit that just randomly popped into my head one day. I knew I needed to wear this! This was right after the interview. I grabbed a quick pic before things got busy with the boys.



I loved that it looked professional but still represented my style. I also had on my silver Nickel and Suede earrings but they didn’t get captured in this pic. After looking at the pics, I realized the blazer needs to be a little more fitted. Luckily, the interview was over Zoom so they didn’t see the whole outfit. Any tips on what to wear to an interview for a school district?! 

FIVE: My last favorite is celebrating 2 things! C going back to daycare and loving it! I cried dropping him off on the first day and he said he cried a little while at “school” (that is what we call daycare).  But he is happy at pick up and I know that he is going to adjust. The other favorite is getting to spend 1 on 1 time with D! 

We went to the park and did all the things he wanted which included lots of sliding and chasing birds.  It was GREAT! 

No big plans this weekend. Just a lot of cleaning that needs to get done.  What are you doing this weekend? Thanks for reading, y’all!

    I like your outfit. Very professional and stylish! I never get those beauty haul deals either. Glad you finally got one. I am a minimalist on decorating for Easter as well. I hope you had a good weekend!

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-

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
