Friday Favorites

Apparently this is just a Friday Favorites account now. ;)

The chats with these kids when I take them for froyo is a favorite. :)

Although I can't breath when he's playing, watching Cullyn work hard and do something he loves will always be a favorite.

 

I always LOVE when my friend surprises me with her farm fresh eggs!

Getting these in the mail was a favorite this week

since it means we leave SOON!

Quick & EASY meals will always be a favorite!

Heat Bare chicken in the airfryer, cook a rice bowl in the microwave, & toss with your favorite sauce when they're both done.  Eat alone or inside a tortilla wrap.  Everyone can customize & dinner is done is 10 minutes!

Happy Friday everyone!!

We spent the week checking off pesky tasks {think dentist, well-checks, oil changes, etc.} since we were home all week {1 of just 2 weeks of the summer were home with no visitors}, but my real FAVORITE this week is that we leave for a 2 week trip back to Iowa tomorrow!

Last Saturday night I snagged some last minute tickets to Chris Stapleton {& Lainey Wilson} and for Jordyn and I and it was the best decision!  I bought cheap seats {section 333} but we ran into a friend that got us into the pit so we watched it 3 rows from the stage.

J has been busy bedazzling all the things this summer!

We've ordered two of these kits already!

 

Cullyn learned {well started learning} to cut Adam's hair.  Fun fact, I started cutting hair for family and friends when I was 13, so it seemed like the perfect time to teach him.  I think it was a bigger process than he was expecting ;) 

Because I have so much spare time on my hands {sarcasm!} I decided to try a new hobby -- Punch Needling.  I bought my kit on a random Target wander over a year ago, but they're on Amazon, too.  I want to get this kit next time!

I spent Sunday after church floating in the pool all by myself {I napped, read my book, and listened to music} and it was so darn relaxing!  I told myself last year I was going to take advantage of our pool more, and so far I am!

BONUS

 

I read The Silent Patient this week.
It is pretty good.  I would say 4/5 even though I guessed the ending part way through. 

Happy Friday everyone!!

Cullyn comes home from camp tomorrow, so that's my true FAVORITE of the week!

Puzzle progress!  It's been full on 'fish' at our house since school got out.  Including this adorable fish puzzle!

Lola turned 9!  And to celebrate she got a new {elevated} dog bed {to hopefully help with her hips}!  I know many dog owners thinks this, but Lola truly is one of the very best dogs!  She is SO smart {absolutely no credit to us for that!}

 

Tell me your old without telling me -- I just LOVE a nice yard!  Adam has been taking such good card of your lawn this year.  {Cullyn actually mows and then Adam edges, weed eats, & blows it off -- this was 'mid' lawn session}  & my front yard {that we planted last fall} is GROWING!

I'm so sad we missed these guys, but one of our favorite friends brought his boys to spend some time with Adam & Cullyn!  It sounds like they picked up right where they left off!  I know Cullyn had a great time!

 

It was Card Club week!  This has been one of my highlights for 2026!  After years on my vision board, I finally pulled the trigger and started a monthly card club.  It's one of the nights I look forward to most each month!  This month we played 10's.

BONUS

 

I listened to Things I Wish I Told My Mother while puzzling

and thought it was cute. 4/5 from me. 

Happy Friday everyone!!
