Hi friend! Happy Friday! Do you have anything fun planned this weekend?  Really the only thing on my agenda is Jordan’s basketball game and help my mom move!  It’s been a long time coming and we are SO excited that it’s finally here!

I’ll make sure to get a couple of good workouts in, read, sleep, and see if any of my girlfriends are available to meet up.  It’s hard when the kids are away, but I’ve come to embrace and accept that time and use it for much needed self care.  I hope you can carve out some self care time for you too!

Hi friend!  We are definitely getting into the holiday spirit of getting cozy at home!  It’s gonna get COLD here this week! Should be freezing temps before Christmas!  I’m so happy we have a fireplace to snuggle up next to.  We’ve got plenty of holiday movies to watch over the next week or so!

Today, is my very last Amazon fashion haul of the year!  It’s bittersweet because I love doing these posts so much- digging through the site to find the best of the best and then sharing it with you!  I’ll have more Amazon in the new year though.

Hi friend! Yay for Friday! We have a few things on the agenda- all good things.  A birthday party and helping box up toys for Ceci’s toy drive for Texas Children’s hospital.  Everyone has been so generous in giving, it warms my mama heart.

I’ve also gotten thank you notes from several teachers that received my Tuesday Giving classroom donations.  I know those things will really brighten the kids’ and teachers’ days. ♥

If you missed it this week, I shared a new December Loves Giveaway.  I’ll pick one winner from my blog subscribers and one winner that likes all my December Instagram posts. 

Hello friend! Welcome to a fresh, new week!  We’re jumping right into the second week of school after a nice, relaxing weekend.

It’s been super rainy here, which tends to have a relaxing effect on everything.  And my magnolia tree needs the rain.  I have to water her 10 minutes a day otherwise! But I’m happy to report she’s thriving!

Books I’ve Read This Year

In my morning routine, I try to read 10 pages of a book and have gotten through quite a few this year.  In this list, you’ll find a theme of intentional living and endurance athletes. 

Hi friend! Yay for Friday!  It’s been such a crazy week with the cat rescue and then a strong storm blew in on Wednesday night and we were without power until yesterday around noon!  You always feel SO grateful when it comes back on and realize what we take for granted!  AC in Houston in Summer!

These battery operated light switches are a lifesaver when the power goes out- very bright and you can affix them to a wall or even under a cabinet.

Hi friend! Happy Friday!  I hope you have a fun or simply relaxing weekend planned.  It’s still just the girls here and Jordan and I will be celebrating her cousin’s 6th birthday.  Those two are peas in a pod and love getting together.  We all went to the Children’s Museum yesterday and that was a lot of fun too!
