Weekly Faves Week #18 (and #17)

Good morning everyone!  So, last week was quite a week and I did not do my Faves.  I was waiting and waiting for my friend Holly to tell me that her mom asked about them, and on the weekend, SHE DID!  So, here you go Miss Vicki, two weeks worth of Faves, just for you!

 Week #18:

1) My best birthday present ever!  I have been asking for a washer and dryer for all of my holidays for the past year.  My hubby did not want to be known as "that guy" who gives his wife appliances for a gift.  He finally gave in and I couldn't be happier!  I'm super glad I went back to a top loading washer, I like it so much better.

2) I loved this book!  I like "POV" books a lot and this one did not disappoint.  It is one of my favorites of this year.

3) I saw this quote on IG, posted by Mom Advice, whom I follow.  I have been thinking about it for the past couple of days, and just wow...such good advice!

4) Pure Barre hits the Faves again.  I completed the 40 in 60 challenge and what did I win?  Strength and discipline!  Pure Barre has helped me in so many ways.  I do truly love it!

Week #17:


1) My trip to Auburn to celebrate Hudson's award was amazing.  So proud of him! Auburn has been an amazing place for Hudson.  He has worked so hard for the past four years, and it has paid off.  But, the Auburn family is also something to behold.  They are so supportive and encouraging, they are amazing.  I can't believe Hudson's (and our) time there is over.  War Eagle!

2) On my birthday, I wanted to go to Parma (in Lewisville) for dinner.  I love that place!  It's quaint and has a great vibe.  And the food is wonderful!  I love that they show old black and white movies on the TV while you eat.  I never watch those kinds of movies at home, but I look forward to watching them while I'm at Parma.  It adds to the charm!

3) Miss Finley and I have gotten into the habit of snuggling in the bed for a bit in the mornings whenever possible.  She sleeps in her crate, then takes a little morning nap in my bed while I read.  This has become one of my favorite times in my day.

4) Rodan & Fields Redefine Regime.  I know, I know, I have been touting the praises of other skincare lines lately, and while they are good, my finicky face needed to go back to my tried and true Redefine.  I even got my daughter, Hayley, hooked on it!  It's just really so good.

Whew!  It feels good to be all caught up again!  Have a great day!

Friday Faves

  While I did get some random submissions for Faves this week (Larry’s will never happen), I remained on my own. 1) SHOWKOO Luggage Set  I got this luggage set for my upcoming trip (we leave Sunday) because I need to take the carry on and the duffle with me on the plane. I’m trying this duffle in lieu of my usual backpack. I’m excited about it, and hope it’s still a favorite after the trip! 2) Survivor Season 48  While it wasn’t our favorite season premiere, we LOVE Survivor in this house and we love watching it together! 3) Govee Lights  We recently added a bar in our house and my contractor made this light box and used Govee lights. We already have Govee lights around our TV so I was familiar with them and I love them! They can change colors, be put on a timer, etc., all from my phone. There’s a little glitch with this set, so they are going to be replaced, but they still make me squeal every time I walk into the room. 4) Shut the Box Game  My family, as usual...

  Finally home and settled from our Australia/New Zealand adventure. My Faves this week were awesome for me while traveling! 1) Power Plug Adapter  We have used many different plug adapters while traveling, but these were the best we have used! With one adapter we were able to charge everything and I could even curl my hair, ha, ha! Highly recommend! These were compatible in Australia/New Zealand, so I’m hopeful to find some for our next travel adventure, 2) Rothy’s Sneakers  I may have posted these before, but I love love love them when traveling. I own two pair and took them both with me.  3) One Step Behind by Lauren North  I listened to this book (and two others) while on this trip. I had never listened to a book by this author, and I really enjoyed the book. Unique plot for sure. 4) Coach Sling Bag  This might be my favorite of all Faves! I purchased this specifically for my trip to wear on tours/excursions, and I loved it! It has two zippered compartm...

Friday Faves Cabo Edition

Today I’m in Cabo, traveling with my little Andy for the first time. Doing my Faves while he naps.   1) The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia  I’m not even sure how I found this book, and it seems to be the first one she’s written, but it was SO good! I listened to it and there was a full cast of narrators so it was like a performance. Loved the ending! Thought I had it figured out but I was wrong. 2) happyhappyhouseplant on IG  This is my current favorite account on IG. Her name is Mandi Gubler and she is awesome! I literally do not have one live plant in my house, but I’m obsessed with her and almost feel like I could try one! What I like best about her is that her IG stories aren’t long, and she’s very informative and encouraging. Some people I follow go on and on and tell you every minute of their day. I don’t take the time to listen to those people anymore. Highly recommend @happyhappyhouseplant on IG! 3) Apple Watchband from Quince  I love this silver watchband. I...
