Friday Favorites {#215}

Hello and happy Friday!

How was your week? Ours was pretty good, and it included a little bit of everything.

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

Here are some favorites from the week:

Last week I was in KC to help my dad after his knee surgery. While both legs of the trip to and from KC were long thanks to delays, on my flight from Lex to Chicago, I got bumped to first class. I don’t think I’ve ever sat in first class on a flight.

I won’t let it go to my head, but I did enjoy my Diet Coke out of a real glass! Oh the little things…

…and even though the flight from Chicago to KC was delayed, this was my window seat view once we finally took off. I don’t love to fly, but I’ve gotten better about being less anxious when flying. It is kind of amazing to be up in the air and above the clouds.

Ok this is random, but we haven’t had cable for a few years, and one thing I do miss about not having cable is all of the random channels like Lifetime, TLC, and Nickalodeon, etc.

Well, while at my dad’s, we watched a lot of “Me TV” last week.

I’m an old soul when it comes to TV shows…I could watch Green Acres, Leave it to Beaver, and The Beverly Hillbillies all day long.

Also, when I left, the Major made me bring home this pack of 72 pieces of bacon for Hayden. haha

Trav’s birthday was Sunday, and I didn’t get home until five hours past my original flight’s scheduled arrival time…and I ended up flying to Louisville instead of Lexington. Anyway, we didn’t get to Lex until after midnight!

After a week away, I was happy to go out to dinner with these guys to celebrate Trav….even if it was a day late.

We ate at one of our favorite restaurants: Carson’s.

We had dessert at the restaurant, and it hit the spot.

I was able to go to the pool two afternoons this week which was nice.

I shared my July trackers on Instagram, and they are saved in a highlight. Feel free to use them and tag me!

Favorite Clothing Item:

I bought the “Sally” set from SSYS at the beginning of the summer, and it’s been one of my favorite things to wear. I have their crepe set from last summer, and it’s one I wear often as well.

We were at Walmart this week, and Hadley picked up these“Athletic Works” shorts. They are less than $7, and so soft! She’s worn them to sleep in as well as to the pool with her swimsuit.

Favorite Mom Meme:

Funny story. The past few vacations, I’ve given the kids a list to use when they pack. I’ve told them many times to figure out exactly what they need. So, if I write “t-shirt,” they decide if they need three shirts or five. Anyway, Hadley, who is often wearing a sweatshirt, and for sure has too many sweatshirts, packed one sweatshirt on our recent vacation….to the Pacific Northwest…where you might actually need a sweatshirt even in the summer.

Well, joke’s on me…of course, she ended up buying not just one but two sweatshirts on our vacay.

Weekly Recap:

I’ve been a busy blogger lately. Here are my posts going back to last weekend:

What are your weekend plans? We don’t have too much going on. Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve been home on a weekend, so I hope to do some “regular” things like meal plan, place my Kroger order, stay caught up on laundry and more!

I do have a Summer Sunday post planned, so come back then!

Thanks for reading,

  1. My mother in law and I purposely never pack enough sweatshirts so that we can buy them on vacation! LOL. Travis’ delayed birthday dinner looks absolutely delicious.

  2. I’ve never gotten to be in first class! How fun! The pic of the bacon in your suitcase is too funny. I think Hadley knew just what she was doing by only packing one sweatshirt! That girl is smart! Ha! I really want a new sweatshirt and I’m eyeing a couple from Amazon. I love those sets you bought. I don’t love sleeveless on me so I would like to find one with sleeves. I love my Aerie set but I haven’t worn it much because it’s long sleeve and too hot to wear out. Oh well. I think I will wear it more in the fall.

    Happy Normal Weekend to you! You need it!

    1. They moved me up front to balance out the weight…I don’t think I take offense 😂😂 I’m really loving sets. I don’t have that many, so I’m not going overboard, but I like that I can mix and match (wear tops with jeans, etc)

      1. I might take offense to that. I would probably ask if they just think I’m way too light to sit where I was? He! I think your sets are perfect and you’re right – you can especially wear the tops with jeans, pants, whatever to go to work.

  3. I’m sure your dad appreciated your visit and help – that is so wonderful that you did that! Yeah for first class too- hope I get that chance some day! Hope Travis loved his birthday dinner- how could he not with his people? Enjoy your weekend!

  4. I hope you dad is doing well. How exciting to get bumped to first class!
    Ahh! I love watching all the old TV shows and that bacon in your luggage did make me chuckle.
    What a lovely birthday meal, the food looks so good.
    YES! That meme about teenagers is so true, even here in the UK when it’s cold out there’s no sign of a coat but of course in the summer they have hoodies on!

  5. The one thing I took from this post was, I can’t wait to go to the pool and be able to sit and read or listen to music. But then I’ll be wishing away these young years of my kids!
