Friday Favorites {#199}

Hello and happy Friday!

TGIF…am I right? I think I’ve gone most of my life without actually saying that phrase, and now I really feel like I’m living for the weekends. The month before spring break always has me hanging on for dear life.

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

Here are some favorites from the week:

Thanks for indulging me this week, as I “celebrated” this blogging milestone. I’ve had fun looking back on posts and sharing those recaps this week.

WordPress even gave me a virtual “pat on the back.”

On Saturday, Travis and I finally had a quick coffee date before Hadley’s volleyball games.

Last Saturday, my brother and his family came over for corned beef, cabbage, and Irish soda bread.

The meal was a hit!

Hadley had games on Saturday and Sunday, but with Sunday being St. Patrick’s Day, most of the teams were looking pretty festive!

On Sunday, I had a quick errand at my favorite book store. I wish I could have stayed longer!

I picked up one of these bunny plants at Trader Joe’s last year, and I couldn’t resist getting another one this year.

One of Hayden’s Christmas gifts was this “plunge tub.” Like we need more thing in the garage…haha

He’s been using it though! I have to commend him for his dedication.

Favorite Foods:

Well, besides corned beef and cabbage, we had a couple of other delicious meals this week.

I tried two new recipes, and they were a hit.

Sunday night, I made this easy pasta dinner.

Then, Wednesday night, I made Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas, and we had leftovers last night.

The lazy dish

Friday Funny:

If you don’t follow @walksauce42_ on Instagram, you should check him out. He’s too funny. I’ve reposted a couple of his reels in my Insta stories…and they always make me chuckle.

Favorite Kid Quote:

Since we adopted Homer, we don’t know his exact birthday. Hayden mentioned that Homer is almost five, and I said he probably is actually five based on how old he was when we adopted him in June of 2019.

Hayden said, “Wow! He’s 35 (in dog years), and he still sleeps in his parents’ room!” 😆

Favorite Mom Meme:

Not to name names in my house, but rhymes with “badly.”

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

I love this Facebook memory from 2014. Hayden wearing Trav’s shirt from when he was a kid while shining a “spotlight” on his food using his flashlight. He’d told me he was “inspecting” his dinner!

I never had time for a blog post, but Amazon is having their “Spring Sale” now through Monday. I’ve been highlighting some of my favorite Amazon items this month in my Instagram stories, but I will try to share a few more favorite sales as well.

Weekly Recap:

I had five blog posts this week! Who am I?! 😆

I hope you have a great weekend.

  1. Thank you for highlighting your sale items! I am still going strong on no spending on me, clothes, accessories, or non-essentials until spring break – well I did buy a candle. It was for Tom! I am proud of myself. Then, I hope to let myself enjoy shopping a bit on break since I’m staying in town. 

    I loved my TJ’s bunny plant and still have the nice ceramic bunny and I currently have it out all year. I am going to switch St. Pat’s to Easter and then I will keep Easter up til Derby decor.

    Love your coffee date and those square donuts – we have a North Lime in Westport Village right by my house. And, your Irish meal looks great! Two solid weeknight recipes, too. I love how they put all the ingredients in the dish to show us!
