Favorites Friday

I would love to tell you this week was full of sunshine and puppy dogs, but it wasn't.

It just plain wasn't.

X has a cold.

Which means he really doesn't sleep well at night.

Which then means Mic and I aren't sleeping well either :(

Then on Tuesday I decided to grab lunch out just to get some fresh air.

While I was driving someone decided to make my lane theirs and run into my car.

Thankfully no one was hurt and my car has little damage.

So needless to say I am so ready for you weekend!

Now that I got the bad out of my system, let's focus on the good!
Linking up with some of my favorite hosts :)

~ Family ~

We were able to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday over the weekend with her and my mom's side of the family.

The older I get, more responsibilities I take on, etc. it gets harder and harder to make time to visit family that isn't local.

I am so thankful and grateful to get to spend that time with them.

And I absolutely adore getting to see X interact with my mom, grandma, cousins, etc. :)

~ Football ~

My Cleveland Browns are in first place in their division!

This hasn't happened in  2 decades.

2 DECADES PEOPLE!!!

While I am not getting my hopes up (I have been a Browns fan for far too long to do that), I am super proud of my boys!

And then I found this shirt...

I need it!

Hey Mic, did you read that last line? ;)

~ Food ~

I mentioned this amazing & super simple appetizer that I made for our S'mores Party.

With the snow starting to arrive, it makes for longer commutes.

So I use my crock pot much more in the winter months.

I decided to make those brown sugar bits of goodness again this week and oh goodness they did not disappoint!

And when I say super simple, I mean it!

2 ingredients!

Throw them in the crock pot on high and 2 1/2 (or 5-6 on low) hours later you have a meal that everyone will enjoy! :)

This might just be my new go-to for family and friend parties.
From this...

to this in 2 1/2 hours! DELICIOUS!!!!

~ Fun ~

Mic and I are going on a date night this weekend!

I am hoping for an adult dinner and maybe a little Christmas shopping :)

Honestly, I just want to spend some time away from work, home, and X with my guy!

~ Festive ~

Two weeks later than normal we finally have our Christmas trees and decor up throughout the house :)
I just love how warm and cozy our house feels when we have Santa's, penguins, and trees scattered all over the house!
I have only purchased 2 Christmas gifts so far, so now that our decor is up I am diving in.
Of course we some one's 3rd birthday to celebrate as well :)
