Friday Favorites

If I'm being honest, there were several NOT favorites this week {the air conditioner went out the day after Adam left town, both cars were in the shop, etc.} BUT, that's why I love these posts each week -- they make me look for the good things that happen.  They are there, even when I'm tired & stressed, & very ready for Adam to be home! ;)



It was game week -- YES, please!  We all kind of needed the mid-week break!  Bonus, 2 of these ladies showed up with a card shuffler for my birthday!  How sweet, right?!  Here is your sign to start a monthly girls club {it was cards for me, because they're ma favorite, but it could be anything -- books, games, crafts, sports, whatever!}




At the end of every week I am just so tired & I can't help but think 'I AM LIVING MY VERY BEST DAYS'!  I know I sound so cliche, but am I going to be dreaming of these years for the rest of my life.  I just love being around to experience my my kids as much as I can!




This is kind of silly, but if you have a teenager {or older} child, you might get it.  Adam was out of town this week and this girl ASKED me to sleep with me all week.  Every time she asks I try to play it cool, but secretly I want to cry because I know these nights are limited.  It's so bittersweet!



My friend asked if I wanted to join her for a pedicure and I couldn't say YES fast enough!  I'm so glad our girls found each other because she's been such a joy in our lives!  Plus, she makes the hours of sitting on bleachers so much more fun! :)




I didn't get a ton of updates {Adam has been up north fishing with some of his favorite guys} but I appreciated all the updates I got!  I love seeing his smile and knowing he's making special memories with is dad, brothers, nephews, and best friend.  It's a gift I know everyone doesn't get the opportunity to have, so I'm praising God he did.  Prayers for safe travels home tomorrow!

Happy Friday everyone!!
