Friday Faves

 I was prepared for my Faves this week, thus the early (for me) post!


1) Home Town This is my favorite HGTV show. I love their commitment to restoring their home town of Laurel, Mississippi. As I told my son Harrison, everyone should have someone who looks at them the way Erin looks at her husband Ben. And, while their style isn’t necessarily my style all of the time, I like what they do and why they do it. It’s just so sweet. I kind of want to visit their town.

2) Misread Song Lyric Cups I found these on a website called Meriwether and they are so funny and so true! They have a lot of different songs. I gave one as a gift and the guy just didn’t “get it”. I was disappointed, so I kept the rest. I brought them out last week at Bible Study and they were a big hit! I knew I loved them (both the cups and my Bible Study)!

3) Amour Sweater I got this lightweight sweater online from a shop called Avara. It’s located in Dallas, I’ve just never been in the physical store. I love it and have gotten lots of compliments.

4) True Detective Seasons 1 & 3 Many people are watching True Detective Season 4 which is currently coming out weekly. Walt and I watched the first (strange) episode but realized we’d have to wait to watch further episodes. I remembered Betsy, my stepfather’s wife, had suggested this series to me awhile back. I had downloaded Season 1 for traveling, but never watched it. It aired back in 2014 so I thought, it was too old. I gave it a try when Walt was out of town and devoured it. It was dark, but so interesting. Maybe Matthew McConnaughy’s best work in my opinion. When Walt got back in town we decided to watch Season 3 because I read Season 2 wasn’t very good (but we are still going to try it). We both really enjoyed it. The seasons are stand alone for the most part. There is a reference in Season 3 to Season 1 (briefly) but if you haven’t watched Season 1 you are fine. I recommend 1 & 3, the jury is still out on the others. Thanks Betsy for the recommendation!

Have a great weekend!

  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...
