Friday Favorites – A Little TGIF ‘ing

·
It was only a four day week for me at the office but it has seemed like 10!  I have not been feeling 100% myself and every day I have tried to get to bed at a decent time only to lay staring at the ceiling for hours.  I’m looking forward to the weekend and sleeping in.  
Here is what I’m TGIF‘ing today!  
{Thanking} my Mom who came and stayed the 5 days with my kidos so I could sneak off to California with my husband.  So nice to know the kids (and Dutch too) are safe at home and in their normal routine.  Do you leave detailed notes for your parents?  I’m addicted to Pic Monkey and put together this little note which included all the details for each day we were gone.  I’m so thankful she was flexible because the rain and Dillon being on crutches most of the week definitely made things interesting.  
{Going} back to Fort Worth for the weekend!  No rest for the weary as TCU will take on the Baylor Bears for the first Big 12 Conference series.  Go Frogs!  We are going to have all the kids together plus my mom and my brother which will make it a special weekend.  My ex-inlaws, who are super special to me as well, will also be there!  This is one of the only weekends Dillon is not also playing baseball somewhere so we are going to enjoy this time as a family before things really get nuts!  
{Interacting} with other bloggers has honestly been the most rewarding part of this journey so far.  I hope someday I can inspire others the way some of these ladies have inspired me.  If you are not taking time to do some interacting with other bloggers, whether through your favorite linkups or following on Bloglovin’ or Instagram, you are truly missing out on what this blog world has to offer.  I was a little overwhelmed at first but have been trying to organize the blogs in Bloglovin’ to better keep up which has really helped.  Now I can quickly scan the topics in my groupings when I have a quick minute or a long Saturday morning and catch up!  Here is a little visual if you haven’t yet begun using the grouping feature.

{Finding} it much harder than I remember to adjust to daylight savings time this year.  I think having the time spring forward while I was in California really compounded my bodies response!  I had just gotten use to the West Coast time and then bam…lose and hour and come back to Texas and adjust to the two hour time difference.  Hopefully this weekend I will get back on track!  
***I just saw this and HAD to come back and update this to share my FAVORITE skinny jeans will be on sale through Sunday for $29 at Burlap & Pearls Boutique!  I love these jeans…perfect amount of stretch and they hold their shape perfectly.  I have the silver on the left and the mustard on the right and I also have some in white.  For $29 and FREE SHIPPING they are worth a try if you are in the market! *** 

I’ll leave you with this quote a friend sent me via text this morning….her timing was more perfect than she could ever know!  
“The past is behind, learn from it.  The future is ahead, prepare for it.  The present is here, live it.”
