Friday Favorites {#90}

Hello! Well, we made it to Friday! This week was a good one! While it was busy per usual, we did have a couple of nights without any evening activities. That meant I had a couple of evenings to sit and enjoy the glow of my Christmas tree and fall scented candle while watching episodes of Holiday Baking Championship. Tis the season for all things festive.

Since it’s Friday, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika to share my favorites from the week.

Favorite Moment:

Once his middle school cross country season wrapped up, Hayden started running with Thomson Training. Thomson Training is a club team developed by our nephew, Jacob. On Saturday, Hayden finished 6th. It was so fun to see him coached by his cousin in his first national race as a middle schooler. Thomson Training had the highest team score in all four races they competed in. I’m so happy that Hayden’s enjoying himself, and we are proud of Jacob and all that he’s accomplished and how he’s helping kids achieve their own goals now!

Favorite Food:

We’ve had so many great dinners this week!

Bev’s Simple Chicken Pasta Soup is always a favorite.

Shay’s Easy Skillet Enchilada was also perfect for a quick and delicious weeknight dinner.

Favorite Photo:

Hayden missed out on having the team and individual cross country school photos taken when he was out with Covid. Thankfully, we have a professional in the family, and Uncle Chet took some amazing photos of Hayden a couple weeks ago. The fall colors were showing off, and Hayden was a good sport. I know getting his photo taken isn’t his favorite thing to do, but Chet sure got some good shots of my boy!

That little smile is my favorite.

Favorite Kid Quote:

The other day, Hadley, in a random quest of wanting to add a dog to the family said, “Mom, we need a replica of Homer!” When I looked at her after using the word “replica,” she said, “Hey! It’s a vocab word!” haha

Favorite Clothing Item:

I ordered this tunic top from Amazon recently, and I love it.

It comes in a variety of colors, and can be dressed up or down. I wore it the other day to school with jogger style pants and one of my favorite pairs of flats. I also can’t wait to wear it with jeans or leggings soon. I think this will be one that I purchase in another color at some point.

Other Faves:

This meme made me laugh. 🤣 It’s been so true this week!

A few more photos from Uncle Chet:

This one seems like it needs a “hype” song playing along with it…

…and I love the leaves in the background of this one along with Hayden’s sweet smile.

Favorite Mom Meme:

I finally made my kids purge their candy collection. They sorted through their faves, threw away the empty wrappers, and swapped a few pieces. The rest is going in the trash today!

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

This pic of Hadley in kindergarten is always a favorite memory. She wore these sunglasses with no lenses off and on for a few weeks when she was five! So sweet.

Weekly Recap:

I had a few posts this week including two fun link ups (NJAM and Let’s Look) as well as a Thursday Thoughts post!

I hope you have a great weekend! Of course, we have a few things on tap, but I’m looking forward to no plans tonight, and hopefully sleeping in a bit tomorrow.

Take care,
