Hello and happy Friday! I’m so glad that it’s Friday. This week turned out to be more than I expected it to be, so I’m jumping right in to this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here’s a peek at some favorites from the week.
Favorite Pic:
Well, even though the Chiefs lost in a heart breaker Sunday night, my favorite pic from the week is still sweet Homer in his Chiefs scarf!

Favorite Moment:
My favorite moment from the week has to do with all things fall. I finally got a few touches of fall throughout the house, and I’m pleased with how everything turned out.
One of my favorite decorations is still my light up pumpkin that I got at Michael’s last year. I loved it so much that I purchased a second one for our bedroom last year too. This year, I picked up the small autumn berry wreath to add to my pedestal with fall candle.

I tried something different with the kitchen table this year with a new runner, some new cute pedestals from Hobby Lobby and pumpkins from Trader Joe’s.

My front porch is coming right along.

This year, I picked up mums from Trader Joe’s because I couldn’t resist the great price, and they were in cute baskets!

I also ordered the big mums in the planters from the kids’ school, and they arrived this week as well. Lastly, my front porch pillows that I ordered off Etsy seven years ago, needed to be tossed. I ordered this four pack of pillow covers from Amazon and used two for the porch and two for my sun room chairs.

Favorite Kid Quote:
My kids got in trouble earlier this week for not meeting my bedtime curfew for them. After a couple of days of no Xbox, Hayden said, “Mom, the punishment doesn’t really fit the crime.” I laughed and asked where he heard that saying. He said his social studies teacher says that sometimes! Good to know he’s listening at school.
Favorite Clothing Item:
Did you seem my Walmart post this week? So many favorite clothing items that I’m wearing on repeat, especially the crew neck sweatshirts!
Favorite Food:
With the cooler temps this week, I made two of our favorite meals for dinner: Pizza Pork Chops and Shay’s Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Favorite Trader Joe’s Find:
Lauren shared about her Trader Joe’s candles. In all my years going into Trader Joe’s, I’ve never known they had candles. When I went there last week for some of their mini pumpkins and gourds, I asked one of the employees if they had any candles…and she pointed me in the right direction. The Honeycrisp Apple was the only one they had in stock; I picked up two! Y’all, it smells so good!

Favorite Fall Quotes:
I love these quotes:


Just my favorite ways to think about fall!
Favorite Mom Meme:
My Gma sent me this, and I laughed…and can relate!

And this…I feel this one deeply.

Another Fave:
After three rainy days, yesterday was beautiful, and I was able to get out for a walk. I needed the fresh air.

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:
How about this memory from 2011? They look so alike in this pic….I’m either bribing them with a snack, or they might be looking at me like I’m a moron. #itstartedyoung

Weekly Recap:
I had three posts this week! I recapped the weekend, shared our Fall Fun List, as well as What I’ve been Wearing (all from Walmart).
What are your plans for the weekend? We have a cross country meet on tap and not much else. Remember when I said that last weekend, but ended up super busy? I think this week I actually do mean that we don’t have as much going on…and I’m here for it.
Thanks so much for reading,

Hayden’s quote is hysterical! I am definitely making a trip to TJ’s this weekend-can’t wait to stock up on all of the fall goodness. I need to make those pork chops too- I think my girls would really like them!

Such an easy recipe and really good! I put it over orzo but rice would be good or no starch at all if trying to cut carbs. Have a great weekend 🙂

Thank you! I just move things around until I’m happy with the outcome 😂 + most likely a trip to Michael’s or Hobby Lobby for one more thing. Haha

Happy Friday! I picked up that candle too! And I am so excited to get my light up pumpkin out for fall. I loved it so much when you shared it last year that I got one too. How does your bedtime curfew work? I’m sorry your kids missed it but the retort from Hayden is pretty funny. Have a great weekend!!

I remember that you got that pumpkin too! This year has been weird because middle school starts so late so I let them stay up later. 9:30 get ready for bed, 9:45 in bed, 10:00 lights out. They do have to wake up until close to 7:30! Sometimes they bicker too much in the bathroom so that’s what really was the trouble. But they still missed lights out by 10.
