Friday Favorites

   Erika and I are so excited that lots of y'all are linking up with us every week.  Make sure that you're grabbing our graphic, linking back to us and sharing your own Friday Favorites post ;)

One of my FAVORITE things ever is watching G sing in choir.  She LOVES it so much!

Fall Dessert Roundup

Today I'm doing a roundup of some of my very FAVORITE Fall desserts.  The air is kind of starting to get chillier here in the mornings and evenings which has me in a major Fall-baking mood.  I haven't actually baked anything yet because it's still too dang hot but I know it's coming and so if you're in the same boat as me and DREAMING of all the baking make sure you bookmark these (or if you're somewhere that actually experiences Fall you can whip these up STAT!)

 Coffee Cake

Weekend on a Wednesday

This weekend was so epic it's taken me until Wednesday to get myself together enough to sort through pics to share ;) 

Spirit Overalls

 

When my friend Haylee asked me if I wanted to make spirit overalls for our girls it was an IMMEDIATE yes.  I knew exactly what she was talking about because I'm crazy about all things school spirit and have always thought that these were SO CUTE!  

School Paper Organization

Today I'm resharing a post from WAY back in 2018 when I finally tackled organizing my kids school (and other) papers.  I'm proud to say that 5 years later this system still works perfectly for us and I really can't recommend it enough!

 This post has been a loooooong time in the making.  As in - over 10 years.  Because if I'm being honest I've never really had a system for storing ANY of my kids "memory" items.  I'm not really sure whether I'm proud or embarrassed of this ;)

I've had the supplies to tackle this project for a couple of months, but have been putting it off.  Friday was the day of reckoning and by 10 am my front entry looked like this.

Y'all! It's Homecoming Week which you KNOW is one of my FAVORITE things ever!  Lots of blue and gold content for y'all this week :)

G's FAVORITE part of the week was getting to carry this mum down to the field for Tailgate last night.  Luke had to be there early for band and so we brought this from home for him to exchange and she has never been more proud.  She's also counting down the DAYS until she gets a long mum. hahaha

Amazon Lately

Happy Thursday, friends!  Today I'm sharing a few recent Amazon purchases and, as always, they're all over the place ;) 

A friend recommended this dog bowl after I shared a video of Rosie drinking and literally just sloshing water EVERYWHERE.  This bowl has definitely cut down on the spillage but she still makes a mess on the daily.  I do love that it's stainless and is super easy to clean - we got the largest size and it's perfect.

Sheet Pan Lasagna

I made this sheet pan lasagna last week and OH MY WORD it was so good!  It was easy to put together on a weeknight and my entire family gobbled it up.  

All Things Puzzles!

  It's no secret that I LOVE doing puzzles.  LOVE THEM!  I've always enjoyed a puzzle and once my kids were all out of toddlerhood have pretty much always had one going during summer and breaks from school.  During quarantine back in 2020 my love really ramped up and this is when I was able to get my kids a bit more in love as well.  Today I thought I'd share some of my favorite kinds of puzzles, brands of puzzles and answer some puzzle questions I get ;)  

Three Wall Art Craft Ideas

As my kids have gotten older we've gotten away from the craft time we used to have on a pretty regular basis so today I thought I'd share three projects from my archives that work perfectly in a 12x12 frame and would be DARLING hanging in your home or packaged up for a grandparent gift ;)

Statue of Liberty Craft

This one was SO FUN and produced really pretty and colorful pieces.  If you traveled somewhere this summer consider picking a landmark, building, etc. and asking your kids to put their spin on it.  You could also pick a local landmark or one from a city/place that interests them.

Next week is Homecoming - which is always a FAVORITE.  I asked Luke to come with me to the mum shop last weekend just to check things out and OH MY WORD y'all.  Mums are my FAVORITE but it was a lot even for me.  We decided to abandon the mission and order his dates mum through the school. hahaha  This pic of him will never not be a FAVORITE from this point forward ;)

 

Nightiime Favorites

Today I thought it would be fun to share some of my nighttime favorites - things that help me wind down and improve my sleep. I've always REALLY loved sleep but have tried to make sure I'm getting good sleep and enough of it

Nighttime Skin Routine

I don’t wash my face as soon as I get home, I’ll typically pull my hair back and put on comfy clothes but don’t wash my face until after dinner when I’m officially in “pre-bed-mode”.  I use the Colleen Rothschild Cleansing balm followed by a Drunk Elephant cleansing bar.  This one is great for daily use and the exfoliating one I use a few times a week.  I’ll then use a pump of this moisturizer mixed with one of my Colleen Rothschild serums.I love all of them and there’s really no rhyme or reason to which one I’m using at the moment.
