Friday Favorites {#173}

Hello and happy Friday…and happy September 1st! The {-ber} months are here, and I’m ready for them.

Also…who is ready for a three day weekend?! {this girl!}

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

Last Saturday, Hayden (and Coach Travis!) had the first official cross country meet of the season. It was a pretty hot day, but Hayden ran a great race and placed 1st! The girls and boys team had a strong showing, considering many of the runners are in the sixth grade.

After the race, Travis and I hurried to get the kids home so that we could head to Nashville for a friend’s birthday.

We were a hot sweaty mess after the race, so we quickly showered, packed and got the kids where they needed to be before hitting the road.

It’s about a 3 1/2 hour drive to Nashville/Franklin, and once we got to our hotel, we had to quickly change to head to the party.

The party was at Stable Reserve not far from our hotel.

Two songwriters performed for about an hour. They have a total of nine number one country music songs…including Walker Hayes’ Fancy Like and a new that’s on the radio, Tucson Too Late which just now hit the radio.

It was really neat to hear them perform. Then there was a break in the music in another songwriter was there to sing for another hour long set.

We had a great time catching up with our friends including Lexington friends we don’t see often enough.

After the party, we made a pitstop at a wine bar before hanging out at the hotel lobby / bar just catching up.

We stayed at The Harpeth, and it was so nice.

Once we woke up Sunday morning, we headed home. I wish we had more time there, but we had to get back to the kids and get ready for the week.

Favorite Foods:

At our hotel, there was a little spot for breakfast. Travis and I picked up coffee to go and I saw these “grab the gold” bars. I’ve heard of them, but had never seen them in person. This was my snack for the car ride home, and it was really good. It reminded me of a no bake cookie.

On the drive home from Nashville, I placed my Kroger order and decided to make this Cheeseburger Biscuit recipe from Pinterest for dinner. It is definitely a family favorite now.

Hadley and I went to Trader Joe’s on Monday after school and the Salsa Verde tortilla chips were one of the samples. I had one chip and knew we needed to bring a bag home. Lol.

They are so good.

Favorite Mom Meme:

So tired by Friday…

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

Here’s Hayden running in the same spot on the same course in both sixth grade and now in eighth grade. He looks both so similar and so different to me now.

Weekly Recap:

Here are my posts from the week which included a little bit of everything…memes, books, and musings!

What are your weekend plans? I’m so happy to not set an alarm for the next three days! The kids have plans with friends tonight, Hayden has a meet tomorrow, and maybe we’ll try to get some pool time in this weekend.

I hope you have a great weekend.
