Friday Favorites

Happy Friday friends!  This week has been super productive and gone by so quickly after the kids were out of school Monday and Tuesday and I decided to join them.  The key was making a realistic to do list for once.  I don’t know about y’all but I am constantly guilty of miscalculating how much time it takes to get crap done and next thing I know I’m frustrated and running around like a mad woman.  This week was so much different and so good!

Before I get going with my favorites, I would really like to give a shoutout to the sweet Tennessee fan last Saturday who stopped as I was tailgating and let me know she reads my blog.  I’m incredibly humbled and I think I was in shock so I’m so incredibly embarrassed to say I sucked at remembering her name.  If you are reading this right now….please comment and let me know your name (AGAIN) and I would love for you to share the picture with me.  🙂

Here are a few of my favorites this week!

 

One of the things I’ve started in October is intentionally logging in my bullet journal.  I tried a bullet journal last spring but really didn’t get the hang of it.  I decided to spend some additional time looking at how other’s have used their journals and finally decided to dive in the last week of September.  The first week of October I also added a habit tracker.  If you have been around here then you know I need accountability!  Well, filling in little blocks when I do things like wash my face at night or do my daily devotional is kind of like getting that little silver star on a chart.  It’s definitely helped me so much!  If you are interested in bullet journaling, head over to my Pinterest board for tons of ideas.

 

 

Keith and I both had allergies kicking our butt early this week.  All I had was sinus medicine but then I ran across this.  Did you guys take this as a kid?  I remember it being prescribed for me lots of times. Anyway, one dose of this and we both got an awesome nights sleep and felt worlds better the next day.  Who knew, Dimetapp is not only for children!
I truly believe God put Lysa Terkeurst on this earth just to teach me!  If you have not picked up any of her books you are missing out.  The Best Yes was amazing, Made to Crave was super but I’m definitely thinking Uninvited is going to top them!  So soaking up her words right now.  She just has such a way of making you feel almost normal when it comes to the parts of you that are or have been broken.  I think my favorite thing in the studies this week was the statement THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.  Y’all, God lives though his people!  Going to church every week is great but living out his word in our daily life can transform you and others as they witness.  So, so good!
I so want to make these but am so incredibly fearful I would eat every single one!  Thinking this may be a little project for Carly Jo and me this weekend!  Beth, along with several other bloggers have been hosting a link up each Tuesday this month sharing all things pumpkin.  I have not joined in the fun but thinking next week I may have to share.  Here are the dates if you want to join the fun!

Do your lips dry out alot this time of year?  Well mine have just seemed to be cracked constantly and I finally decided to give the Rodan + Fields Lip Renewing Serum a chance.  Oh my goodness!  I am now looking forward to putting this on each night . My lips feel rejuvenated and I’m totally sold on this product.  If you have any questions please ask!!

AND a new Rodan + Fields product is being released in November and I cannot wait to try it!  I was able to order ahead of time and hopefully will be able to show you some results in a few weeks.  If you are blessed with amazing lashes I totally envy you.  But if you are like me and barely have any, this product may be something you want to splurge on!  I tried Latisse years ago and was so thrilled with my longer lashes but not so much with the $$.  So stay tuned for Rodan + Fields Lash Boost coming soon!!

Want to catch up?  This week I shared lots of fall fashion with some Business Casual attire and a little Fall Floral favorite.  I also styled the scarf I received during the Scarf Exchange hosted by Vanessa at Xtremely V and stepped out of my little box by styling it with White Jeans for a fall/winter look! Thanks again to Katie for this fun scarf.  Lastly, Katy and I shared a few tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle through the holidays as part of our Spiel the Beans series.

The best part of a long weekend is a short week!  Our weekend is going to be a little busier than the past few but I’m hopeful it will be productive leading into the last stretch of our birthday marathon! Riley made it home early Wednesday morning just in time to celebrate his birthday on Tuesday, mine on Wednesday and Keith’s on Thursday of next week!

Hope you all have a super weekend!
