Friday Favorites 3/18/21

Sometimes the week just gets away from you and you don't post your Friday Favorites until the day is just about over 🤦🏻‍♀️

Linking up with Andrea & Erika once again.

I was looking through photos the other day and came across all of X's soccer pics, so I put them all together in a little collage.

Oh my goodness, I just love this not so little guy!

Can't wait for the spring season to start next weekend!

I came across this image and it is exactly how I feel about our home!

I think my house was "that" house when I was a kid and that makes me feel so good.

I pray that we can do the same for X's friends :)

This is not a favorite, but I had to share.

Homework is the worst!

I love this guy, but boy do we butt heads sometimes.

Homework is always one of those times!

The weather was so nice earlier in the week, so X and Mic took advantage of it and got outside for a bit.

I'm just going to leave this right here...

I decided to have some fun with my nails this week in honor of St. Patrick's Day!

Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🌈

Speaking of St. Patrick's Day...this guy jumped out of his comfort zone on Wednesday and participated in the 3rd Grade spelling bee!

While he didn't bring home the big trophy, we are so proud of him and how well he did :)

Of course we wore green on one of my favorite holidays, but I had to wear camo to cheer on my guy!

Good hair days and sunshine call for car selfies :)

And I couldn't agree with this one more...

So many good songs that I listen to while I am cleaning/making dinner that I used to request back in the day! 😂

And I'm calling it a week on that note!

Have a great weekend friends!

Friday Favorites | 3/12/21

It's Friday 🙌🙌

Linking up with Andrea & Erika for another week of Friday Favorites!

X and I both got much needed haircuts last Thursday night, and he enjoyed his favorite part of the visit...getting his hair washed and his head massaged 😂

We showed up at school drop off the other morning to see the cups X and a classmate put in the fence to spell "Be Kind" have slowly started going away.

On this particular day all that was left was "King" 👑

This has been a favorite lately.

I don't drink very much, but my go-to right now is Sunkist and Vodka :)

X played his last indoor soccer game of the season on Saturday afternoon.

It was crazy intense!!!

We should have won during the regular game time, but unfortunately one of our kiddos bumped the ball into our goal on accident.

Making it tied 1-1 at the end.

Because this was a tournament they had to have a winner.

The boys played a 5 minute overtime before having to move on to a shootout.

And what a shootout it was!

X was picked as one of the 5 kids to participate in the shootout.

He was the 4th to go on his team and scored a goal!!

The place was going nuts!

Honestly, you would have thought we were about to win the Super Bowl or something.

His coach even picked X up and was spinning him around!

 After our last kid shot and missed the other team had one player left.

She ended up scoring on a toe-ball kick.

Here is where things got interesting.

Each team must have went through their entire roster 3 times before it was over.

Meaning 30+ shots were attempted from each team!

Crazy!

Unfortunately, that same girl kicked the winning goal.

Our goalie stopped the ball, but he slightly bobbled it and it went in.

#dangtoeballkick

While it was a loss, it sure didn't feel that way!

And it is still crazy how exciting it was!

Another favorite this week....a quiet/clean house ;)

You moms know what I am talking about!

It is slowly starting to feel more like spring around here!

That sunshine was definitely a favorite!

On the blog this week I reintroduced myself to you longtime readers, and shared a little about myself for the newbies too!

And I started a new series called 3 Things Thursday!

This time was all about one of my favorite holidays coming up!

And that my friends is it for the week!

More soccer and football practices for X this weekend,

more playing taxi driver for me ;)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Friday Favorites 2/26/21

Happy Happy Friday!

Linking up with Andrea & Erika for Friday Favorites!

Lots of favorites to share from the last few weeks so let's dive right in!

I saw these next few photos/posts on social media and absolutely loved them!

They definitely deserved sharing again :)

Who is with me on that last one?

I swear this is all we did as kids after softball games and such!

Since I missed a few weeks of favorites I'm playing catch up ;)

I loved these super simple valentines we printed free from Pinterest!

I didn't have any cardstock handy, so I just glued them to some construction paper :)

And I found a tutorial for this box on Pinterest as well.

It was so easy!

I didn't have the correct colors, so we made it more our own style.

X loved it!

We have been going non-stop with soccer these days.

X is loving it though, so it makes our crazy schedule worth it!

Since it has been extra cold outside there have been so many people ice fishing on the reservoir.

This particular day you could hardly see, yet there were people out there in tents all over.

One guy was out there just sitting on a bucket!

It was seriously like 1 degree outside at the time!

X finally had his 9 year check up at the doctor this month (so weird that we had to wait so long for it),

and when we were coming out of the building the sky was absolutely stunning!

We both stopped to take it in :)

Anyone else completely stop what they are doing and snap a pic when their house is actually super clean?

No? 😂

Everything was put exactly where it belongs and things were freshly clean...it had to be documented!

I shared this on my What's Up Wednesday post, but we are loving having so many deer all over our property!

Also, this window in our master shower has been growing on me.
I fought this guy so hard, but after seeing the pretty snow out the window each day I have started to change my mind :)

Sometimes it crazy to think we finally live here again!

X finally got to take advantage of the hills on our property and all that snow!

He and Mic had fun sledding, throwing snowballs, etc. the other night.

He can't wait to go back out again!

My favorite part was catching his arm go up at the end of a successful run :)

I shared some of my favorite Amazon finds recently on Tuesday.

These pillow covers arrived and I love 2 out of 3 of them.

The quality is great on all of them, but the plaid ones need to be more white for me and our house.

My Polished Jar order arrived earlier this week and I am so in love!

I went with 16 oz. hand wash glass bottles in the signature collection in matte black with the matte black pump.

I did the same for our kitchen hand wash and dish soap, but up the size to 32 oz. each.

I snagged the dark gray cement tray too :)

They are beautiful and great quality!

I will definitely be ordering more items in the future!

Mic and I had a random light work day yesterday so we took the day off and headed to Amish country.

I snapped a quick mask selfie mainly because I tried a fun little braid hairstyle from Amber Massey.

Mine didn't look nearly as cute as her hair does (darn layers), but I still liked it :)

We saw so many things I loved!

If you know me...I love the Grinch!

This sign would be perfect in our home for the holidays!

Check out these wood pallet flags!

They had bullets in them for the stars 🤩

I didn't want to leave the Studio 4 Designs shop!

I think everything in the entire shop fit my style to a T!

Look at these tables 😍😍

Both are the perfect combination of metal and wood!

This wood and metal clock would be perfect in our kitchen!

We didn't pick it up this time, but definitely keeping it in mind!

I couldn't contain my laughter when I was reading all of these signs! 😂😂

And after seeing these dark gray stoneware dishes, I'm totally on the hunt for new dishes!

I can't decide between getting light gray or a matte black.

Decisions, decisions 😉

And check out this gorgeous tablescape!

How perfect would this be for Easter Sunday?!

After a day of collecting all kinds of ideas and such, we only came home with some new wall art for X's bedroom!

We also ordered some new counter stools for our kitchen and I can't wait for them to arrive next week!

That is all for this week!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
