Wednesday Faves Week #35

So I'm SUPER excited about all of my Faves this week!  I love them.

1) This concept: I like you because, I love you despite.  Last week I was on the phone with my youngest, Hudson, and we were talking about when someone does something you don't agree with.  He said, "Oh, like that 'I like you because, I love you despite' thing?  You know mom, like you like me because we enjoy hanging out together, but you love me despite my argumentativeness or my temper."  It was like a light bulb went off in my head!  Especially with my adult children who are deciding what's right for them and I may not agree.  I still like so much about them, and of course I love them.  That's grace, y'all!  

2) This Doozy app.  I have almost changed over completely to an electronic planner.  I was finding that I just wasn't using my paper planner because it wasn't convenient.  I always have my phone with me.  I began using a Google calendar long ago, then I started using my Notes app, but one thing my friend Donna and I try to do is list 5 "to dos" to accomplish specifically each day.  I used to put it on my "day" page, but didn't want to put it on my electronic calendar.  I figured, well, there's an app for everything ever, so maybe I'll find an app for this.  And I found a doozy (pun intended)!  It literally lets you input to dos on separate days AND, and it transfers them automatically to the next day if you don't complete them.  I LOVE IT!!  It was either free or costs $0.99.  It is perfect!

3) These College Footballs for my porch.  My Fave season is finally here-College Football! Not only do I love cheering on my teams, I love getting to put my footballs back on the porch.  Having three schools to cheer for and only two front doors, I needed to find some way to display my teams.  About 4 years ago I took to Etsy to find my solution.  I collaborated with a lady on Etsy.  I gave her my vision and she did the rest.  Definitely on my Faves' list year after year!  Sic 'Em, Woo Pig, War Eagle!

4) Short pillows.  Yes, short pillows.  While on our cruise, I slept SO good every night.  Part of it was the boat rocking, I just love that, but it dawned on me that it was also short pillows!  On our bed at home we have been sleeping with king sized pillows for awhile and just weren't getting great sleep.  We were getting stiff necks, and various other aches and pains.  As soon as I got home, I changed out all of our king sized pillows for short ones (standard).  We have slept so good every night since we have been home.  It's a miracle!  

Have a great week and and a wonderful Labor 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...
