Friday Favorites

·

I was really hopeful when I woke up this morning the horrid burned smell would be gone but no such luck.  Yesterday my girl decided to make an individual mac & cheese in the microwave only she forgot to add the water.  Y’all, the smell is awful.  I feel like it’s covering everything in the house and even my clothes so if you have any good tips other than airing out the house I would love to hear.

I have been on one of those mind treadmills this week where my brain seems to be running in circles but nothing is really coming out and I just can’t seem to get enough sleep.  Hoping to find some balance this weekend!  
Enough of the downers…let’s get on to some favorites!  
My daddy would have celebrated his 70th birthday today!  He was definitely on of my favorites and it is hard to believe it’s been almost 12 years since he passed away.  This is exactly how I remember him; smirky smile, coffee in hand.  
I had dinner with my grown up girl on Wednesday and we were a little photo challenged trying to take a bathroom selfie.  We don’t look much alike but the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.  She was super excited to show off her journal and tell me all about bullet journaling.  We also talked about having her possibly do a little guest post over here on the blog.  She also was approved to adopt a dog so I may become a grandmother soon!  It’s so fun seeing your kids develop into adults!  
The guys finished the kids bathroom tile work yesterday and I was super excited with the end result. This bathroom tile wasn’t in need of replacing as bad as ours but we knew there had been some water damage and the faucets were in desperate need of replacement.  

 Here was the tile before which was not awful and still fairly easy to keep clean.  Amazing how taking the tile up to the ceiling made this space look larger.

But ewww…..look at what was behind the wall.  After the demo this room smelled awful.  I’m glad to know this is no longer lurking behind my wall.  

When a picture from last April popped up on my timehop of these ladies we could not believe a complete year had passed since we had come together so of course we had to take care of that immediately.  We all met through the elementary school and then started running together to train for the BCS half marathon.  Nothing will bond you like 5am runs in the 30 degree wind.  Such a great night and lots of laughing. 
I know you all know these two but they are seriously the first bloggers I really started following and they have this fun new series.  I was seriously blown away at how fun talking about 3 little things was going to be.  See my choices here and be sure to join us on the trip the rest of the year to see what all we end up taking! 
Today I’m excited about having lunch with a friend I haven’t seen in too long and then I will be heading to my home town at some point to see my sweet niece make her first communion on Sunday. 
Hope you all have a super weekend!
