Friday Favorites

Can I get an AMEN! It's Friday and I just couldn't be any happier about it! Like most Friday's I'm linking up today with 3 of my favorite bloggers for Friday Favorites. If you haven't already you should really check out Andrea at Momfessionals, Erika at A Little Bit of Everything, and Narci at Grace and Love.

1) Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

 

There are many reasons why I get excited for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. First of all the obvious he was a pretty cool guy, who did a lot of amazing things for our country.

Secondly one of my favorite memories of my Grandpa was him always saying "I was born on the same day, same year as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.".  Can't wait to go to my Grandma's on Sunday where she will make Pineapple Upside Down cake in honor of my Grandpa because it was his favorite.

recipe here.

 And my last reason for Loving MLK Day is that I get a 3 day weekend! Working at a Credit Union has its perks, and one of them is definitely getting all holidays off!

Wouldn't be Friday without an Ecard ;)

2) Our Possible Vacation This Summer

I have this habit of getting an idea in my mind and just not being able to let it go. One of my Coworkers, Shelbie, mentioned that her and her Fiance might be going to Pigeon Forge Tennessee for their honeymoon. I started looking up the cabins and FELL IN LOVE. From there I planned a whole little vacation in my mind in August.

Just a sample of how amazing they are! view here.

 Now I say possible vacation because Seth isn't 100% on board yet, but I think it's gonna happen. The cabin above has 4 bedrooms and can sleep up to 13 people. We are looking to get some of best friends around to go and when you split the cost it is a super affordable vacation!

3) Having TWO Engaged Besties

If you think having one best friend engaged is fun try having 2, it's a BLAST.  I'm loving the texts I get about wedding plans and bridesmaid dresses! Check out my posts about these lovely ladies, here, here, and here. 

 4) My Favorite Picture I Took This Week

My crazy little Boomer, she's clearly excited it's Friday too ;)

Hope you all have a great, safe, and relaxing weekend!!! 

Friday Favorites

I feel like I say this every week, but I am beyond thrilled that it is Friday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea, Erika, and Narci to share some of my Friday Favorites!

1) Being Motivated to Get Healty

 

With the New Year upon us, like most people, I'm finding extra motivation to be healthy and get fit. Just yesterday I received my new elliptical! Praise the Lord Seth helped me put it together because it was quite the chore (or at least it looked that way from my view on the couch). I thought at one point Seth was going to break something, but he got it put together ;) I will be trying it for my first full work out when I get off work today. Wish me luck ;)

I also FINALLY charged my Fitbit last night and am wearing it again today. My goal is 10,000 steps a day, which is A LOT of steps! (again wish me luck!!!)

I'm also inputting my calories in MyFitnessPal. It could be going better, I'm leaving myself lots of room for improvement ;)

2) Pinterest Told me To's Bachelor Recap

I was laughing out loud for the majority of her recap. If you are a Bachelor fan it is a MUST read. Seriously. Check it out  here.

 3) My Friday LEAST Favorite- This Indiana Winter

This cold weather is seriously for the birds! Your skin hurts if you are out for more then 5 seconds at a time! I'm dreaming of some place very tropical, maybe like this:

 

Maybe if I beg Seth enough he will take me, but I'm not counting on it ;)

Sorry for the short post filled with Ecards, but it's just one of those days! 

Hope you all have the most amazing weekend!  

Friday Favorites

Wow, It's Friday!!!! This week has been so crazy I didn't remember it was Friday until I got on to read my blogs and saw all of the "Friday Favorites". It is always strange to have days off from work in the middle of the week, but the best part is I work today and then am off another 2 for the weekend! Doesn't get much better then that :)

Linking up today with my Favorite Blogs.  Check out Andrea's blog Momfessionals, Erika's blog called A Little Bit of Everything, and Narci'sblog called Grace and Love.

One of my very Favorite things right now is the fact that I get to see my Besties tomorrow!!! We will be getting together for our second annual scarf exchange.

That was the picture from our Scarf Exchange last year. We met and had a Starbucks date. I'm so excited because this year we are getting together at Maddie's house and having a slumber party! Even as an adult I enjoy getting together with my favorite girls and having a sleep over.

My "Favorite" New Year Resolutions

1) Making time each morning to spend reading the Bible and Praying. I will need to get myself out of bed earlier to make this happen.

2)  Use Myfitnesspal and stay under my calorie goal everyday. To do that I will need to eat healthier and get in more work outs.

3) Be a better housewife. I want to get in the habit of meal planning and making dinner more often. I also want to do better about keeping the house cleaned and organized. Check out one way I plan to do that here.

 

I would love to hear about your Resolutions for the year. Hope you all have a great weekend! 

Be Blessed! 

Friday Favorites!

Wow, I am SO Glad it's Friday again! This week has been pretty crazy, busy, and full of me not having a voice. Today I'm thrilled to be linking up with a few of my very favorite blogs to read to do another "Friday Favorites". Check out Andrea's blog Momfessionals, Erika's blog called A Little Bit of Everything, and Narci's blog called Grace and Love.

1) My number one favorite thing about this week was reconnecting with a couple of my Besties!

 On Wednesday night Maddie and Stacie came over to my house to catch up. It was  so nice getting to chat about random things and laugh! No matter how long we go between seeing each other we always have a great time! Can't wait for our annual scarf exchange in January!!

2) The fact that Christmas is less than a week away!! If you need any ideas on Christmas treats check out my previous post here.

 

3) My Momma goes on my list of favorites this week. Yesterday when I was home sick she rescued me by picking up cat food for my cats, and bringing me all the essentials to feel better. Even as a grown woman I still always want my momma when I'm sick. Love you mom ;)

 4) Nyquil. Yep this is happening, Nyquil is on my list of favorite things. It is the only reason I have been sleeping the past few nights. I like to call it a "nyquil induced coma". Regardless what you call it, It is wonderful.

No I'm not a druggy, and yes I do love Ecards.

 Sorry all, but this is all I have for you today, blame it on the Nyquil or the fact that I still can barely speak ;). Hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend! 

Be Blessed!!

Andrea's blog is Momfessionals, Erika's blog is A Little Bit of Everything, and Narci's blog is Grace and Love.

1. Cats

I'm not ashamed to say I am a cat lover, but occasionally I do come across a little obsessed. My kitties are my babies so I treat them that way. ;) I will take any of the following as Christmas gifts if you are looking for something to get me :D

Okay so the leggings may be a little much, but I might wear them on a special occasion.

2. Aztec Sweaters

I am so obsessed with Aztec print anything right now, but I am especially loving the sweaters. You can find so many different colors and patterns that can go will all kinds of different outfits. They can be casual or you can dress them up. Here are some of my favorites.

3. Board Games

Seth and I are board game junkies. One of our favorite pastimes is getting together with a group of friends and spending hours playing games. Here are a few games I would recommend for beginners. (If you have played these games and want ideas on more in depth games contact me and  I can help you out with that.)

Friday Favorites

Whoo hoo it's Friday!!!!

I am very excited to be part of my first link-up of Friday's Favorites with Momfessionals, A Little Bit of Everything, and Grace and Love.

#1: Patterned leggings

It's safe to say I have been convinced through experience that leggings are acceptable to wear as pants. I know I know some people feel very strongly the other way, but I can't say no to comfort. Now when you add in the fun patterns I don't know how anyone says no! Also they are perfect for fall because you can match them with a sweater and your favorite boots.

Buy these here.

Get this adorable pair here.

I have gotten the majority of my patterned leggings from Charlotte Russe. They fit great and are super affordable, usually under $15 a pair. To check our their selection go here.

#2: E.L.F eyes lips face

This company not only tops my favorites of the week, but my favorites of the year! This is the place to go to find the most affordable and high quality cosmetics. 

I got this eye shadow palette for $6! No you didn't misread I really said $6, with all the neutral tones I can use it just about everyday. To check out more of the great products that e.l.f has to offer click here.

#3: Having My Hubby Home with Me

Seth left Monday for training in Indianapolis and just returned home yesterday at around 7. I couldn't be happier for him to be back! Even the furbabies were starting to get restless without him here, Boomer was being even crazier then usual. It is safe to say he is my favorite *swoon* Here's a little throwback to our very first picture taken together :)

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!
