Hello and Happy Friday. Why do the shorter weeks feel so long? We had a good week full of school and activities, but most of my favorites happened last weekend.
Today, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:
Last Friday, we went to the local drive in movie theater with some friends. It was the perfect way to end the week. There was a chance of rain that never happened, and it was nice to let the kids run around before the movie started, have some dinner, chat with friends, and watch Grease.



Saturday was SUCH a busy day! We were on the go the entire day.
Hayden had a cross country race, and again, there was a big chance of rain that never happened. Instead, it was muggy and hot. There were close to 200 runners, and Hayden placed 7th! The course was unlike any course I’d seen before with tight turns in some parts. The whole team did great and almost placed 3rd. They earned 4th out of 21 teams by only a few points.

While we were at the cross country race, Hadley headed to the temple ceremony of a bat mitzvah for one of her friends. She was home when we got home, and then got ready for the party part of the bat mitzvah.
She looked so grown up and ready to have lots of fun with her friends.


After she left, Travis and I went to the UK game along with Hayden and some of his friends. I ended up sitting with one of my friends on the other side of the stadium while Travis “took one for the team” and sat with the boys in our regular seats.
It was such a beautiful night. I left around halftime to make my way back home, have some dinner and then go pick up Hadley and her friend.

Then, on Sunday, I didn’t get out of my pjs which was definitely a favorite.
On Monday, I did laundry, meal prepped, and did a few things around the house.
Then, Travis and I went couch shopping, and our new couch arrived on Wednesday. I think it’s just what we need for our family and Homer. It definitely needs broken in a bit, but…

…Homer approves 🤪

Favorite Mom Meme:
So relatable 😂

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday
With the Chiefs back in action this weekend, I love this memory of Homer as a puppy in his Chiefs scarf. I will have to recreate that this year too.

Weekly Recap:
Here are this week’s posts in case you missed one:
Not Just a Mom:
We have our monthly Not Just a Mom link up on Monday…

…This month’s topic is Favorite Workout Places…
If you have a blog, we hope you’ll join us!

Before I go, it’s definitely not a favorite, but I was certainly sad to hear about the passing of Queen Elizabeth. What an amazing life she lived and her legacy will carry on forever.

What are your weekend plans? We have a little of this and that. Hayden’s going to a birthday party, we may hit up a fall festival, Hayden has a cross country meet, and more!
See you back here on Monday for Not Just a Mom. I hope you have a great weekend.


Love the couch and how you Homer’ed it! Compromise! I have never been to a bat mitzvah – she did look so grown up! What a week, right? I hope you have a great weekend!

So far so good with the couch. I had told Travis we should just put a fitted sheet on it…& why hasn’t we thought of that before? I’ve never been to one either and now hadley has been to two. I’m very ready for the weekend!

Your new couch is lovely! I can’t even remember the last time I’ve seen a working drive-in; all the ones near us closed down when I was a kid.

This one is about 30 min away and we’ve wanted to go the past two summers. Now that we went, I hope we can go a couple times a year. We all enjoyed it!

Still love that old picture of Homer. ❤️💛 Can we also just be really impressed you got ANY couch the same week you bought it?!?! That feels unheard of nowadays!

Hadley looked so pretty for her bat mitzvah! That dress she was wearing is really cute and looks great on her. I love the new couch! Homer will appreciate the warmth for him, because leather is a little cooler for them, especially as the temperatures cool down. The sheet is a good idea…we usually just do a blanket for them that can be shaken off and straightened back out. When I worked at my kids school, I always thought the same as you- that short weeks felt the longest. I have no idea why, but I know it’s true. I hope you enjoy a relaxing weekend!
