New Year, New Day…Friday Faves are here!

Happy New Year! Are we ready for 2020 “too”?? I am one of the crazy people that actually enjoyed the lockdown period, but I know if there’s a repeat, it won’t be the same.  I’ve decided to rename my weekly Faves: Friday Faves.  I just like the sound of it, and I think I can be more consistent on Fridays.


1) Engraved Cutting Board I had these cutting boards made for my kids for Christmas. I’m not sure which is more my favorite: the cutting board, or my daughter’s reaction to it.  My mother, her Gigi, passed away last March. She always made this egg casserole for Christmas morning.  When she got sick, she gave the recipe to Hayley to make it. Now, Hayley makes it for all of our family events and makes it for her Grandad from time to time as well. This was my mom’s original recipe in her handwriting.  Hayley said it may have been the best gift of her life (she’s my sentimental one, gotta love it!).

2) Leopard Vases I love these vases.  They are smooth and timeless and make me smile every time I see them (which is a lot as they reside on my island)! I believe they came from West Elm.  I also have the same ones in a terracotta color which I love too!

3) Baylor Bears Sugar Bowl Champs I love my Bears!  I love Dave Aranda! They are a class act and continue to amaze.  I am super sad about the players that are leaving for the draft. Listening to Aranda’s post game speech after the Sugar Bowl, you realize how impressive and amazing these young men are.  Sic’Em!

4) Mary Kay Apricot Glaze Lipstick Do they still make this?  I sure hope they do! I have loved this stuff since the ‘90s! A couple of years ago I ordered more, but I can’t remember if I ordered it from Mary Kay or EBay…oh I hope they still make it, it’s my favorite!!


Stay warm!

  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...
