Friday Faves

 I’m actually doing Friday Faves on Friday this week. In the morning. So timely!


1) Rechargeable Lamps This is a second appearance of rechargeable lamps in my Faves. My daughter, Hayley, housesat for us when we were out of town, and just before we left she made fun of this lamp in particular because it’s tiny. Well, well, she admitted she had to bite her tongue hard when our electricity went out for several hours and this tiny little lamp as well as other rechargeable lamps around the house came to her rescue! She and her boyfriend were walking around the house carrying these lamps like they were Scrooge or someone from Harry Potter (I can’t remember who they said). She said they were SO helpful that she felt bad making fun of them. Honestly, I don’t know that I would have thought to use them in a power outage, so good job Hayley!

2) Kobalt Cordless Blower This little blower my friend Cheryl suggested is wonderful to keep on my patio for touch ups every couple of days. Sometimes we still have to get the big boy backpack blower out, but if we keep up with it and blow off the patio every couple of days, this cordless blower is awesome!! 

3) Pioneer Woman’s Best Baked Beans Recipe She actually got this recipe from someone else, but when I was searching for a baked bean recipe, her name popped up so I knew it would be good! Last night we went to a rib dinner with friends. I was tasked with bringing a side. Usually I would just go pick something up from a restaurant, I know, I know, I’m super lazy…but I decided I would cook something this time, and thought baked beans sounded good. I did a Google search and found this recipe. It was SO good! And I’m thankful to my neighbor Brenda for coming to my rescue with BBQ Sauce. I can’t believe we didn’t have any BBQ Sauce in our house. I will definitely make this recipe again and because I’ve figured out what I’m doing I think it will be even better!  I will say it’s kind of hard to transport in the car, but we managed.

4) The Outfit On our cruise, one of my favorite things is watching old movies in the cabin.  On this particular cruise they also had some more recent movie offerings. One day while at sea, Walt and I watched this movie and it was really good! I had never heard of it before. We really enjoyed it.

So there you have it, my Faves for the week. Enjoy!

  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...
