Friday Favorites {#186}

Hello and happy Friday!

TGIF! How was your week? We had a good one, and I feel like it went by pretty quickly.

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

Here are a few favorite from the week:

I mentioned in Monday’s post that Travis and Hayden were in Tallahassee over the weekend for an AAU race. Last week, Travis kept saying, “Looks like it’s going to be rainy in Florida.” Well, “rainy” was an understatement. It rained the entire time they were there, and Hayden ran his race in a monsoon.

Hadley and I tuned in via the computer…

He’s number 1197!

Travis did his best to send a few pics and videos…and the rain was just crazy.

Hayden was so happy because he earned his first “All American” medal by placing in the top 25. His team placed third.

When I picked them up from the airport on Sunday, he was all smiles…and as soon as he got in the car, he put his medal on. haha

While the guys were gone, Hadley and I had a slow Saturday morning. I watched the first episode of season 6 of The Crown.

Hadley worked on her science project, and we went to the mall.

Saturday night, we went to the Taylor Swift Eras tour movie. When I had checked the theaters earlier in the week, there weren’t any show times. We were so happy when we saw the movies times for Saturday.

Wow! I’m definitely not a “Swiftie,” but what a concert. We’ll definitely watch it again when it can be streamed.

On Tuesday, all of the freshmen went to a career expo put on by the district. I was one of the chaperones and had no clue we were riding nice buses to the expo. We were only gone a couple of hours, but it was a fun change of pace for the day.

Tis the season! My flat panel is festive this holiday season.

Sometimes when I’m shopping for others, I end up buying something for myself…but it’s usually because I stumble upon a good deal! I love this Pureology shampoo and conditioner, and they had this “Hydrate Holiday Gift Set” and it was a great deal.

Favorite Foods:

I tried two new recipes this week, and they were a hit!

We had Stuffed Bell Pepper casserole on Sunday with leftovers on Monday. It was a hit with the fam.

On Tuesday, I made Salsa Verde Chicken, and it was another favorite.

Favorite Mom Meme:

LOL….this!

Flashback Friday:

I probably share this every year, but Hadley was in the NICU for two weeks after the kids were born. The memory of her joining us at home and our first pic as a family of four always pops up in my Facebook memories.

I texted Hadley this pic on Monday (12/4), and she asked why she had to stay in the hospital…and then her reply was, “Well look at me now!”

Not Just a Mom:

We have our final Not Just a Mom link up of 2023 on Monday…and the topic is favorite books/series.

We’d love to have you join us!

What are your weekend plans?

We have nothing tonight, so I hope to start wrapping presents! Saturday is action packed with a cross country race and cotillion.

See you back here on Monday!
