Hello and happy Friday!
I feel like this week flew by! Only two more weeks until winter break!
As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:
Last week, we traveled to Charlotte, NC for Hayden’s race. It’s such a cute city!

Hayden finished the season with a medal the Foot Locker South Region race.

With December, comes some fun graphics:


While on the drive to Charlotte, I made my December book trackers. They are saved to a highlight on my Instagram account. Feel free to use them and tag me 🙂


Sunday night, we took a few minutes to put ornaments on the tree in the living room. It’s always a stroll down memory lane.

I added some new personalized ornaments to the bedroom tree.




I ordered a couple of Antique Candle Co. candles, and they arrived this week. I actually ordered a couple more candles from them yesterday because their Black Friday sale was extended.

I hit the holiday trifecta at Trader Joe’s on Sunday. I got my favorite “mini Gingerbread People” cookies and my favorite “Step Up to the Bar” snack mix. I did pick up a tin of Jingle Jangle as the kids really like it. At $9 a tin, I think it will be the only one I pick up this season!

My school does “gratitude feathers” before Thanksgiving. The students can write on these feathers and then a teacher collects them and puts them in teacher mailboxes. My envelope was put in the wrong box, so I received my feathers yesterday! (Last week, when I saw my empty mailbox, I was afraid no students like me…haha!)
One of my feathers was from Hadley:

So sweet!
Last night, we went to the Kentucky volleyball game. I hadn’t made it to a game yet this season in the newly renovated Memorial Coliseum. It’s legit!

They played Cleveland St. in the first round of the NCAA tournament, and it was fun to watch. They won in 3 sets.
Favorite Mom Meme:
If I can’t find the scissor and tape, how am I going to wrap their presents?!

Weekly Recap:
I had a few posts this week:

Have a great weekend!


Yikes, $9 a tin?! That is crazy but I have heard it’s really good. I’m sure your kiddos appreciated you picking that up for them.

That was so sweet of her to give you a feather and I would have felt sad, too. In fact, I didn’t get a teacher shout out during the first 6 weeks but I got one this time. We need that validation! Ha!
Your candles are so pretty in those mason jars and I bet they smell amazing. I got the trio of little tin candles at TJs and yes, that Jingle Jangle has gone up!

I’m interested in trying the Antique Candles. Will check it out. I have bought Jingle Jangle, but don’t think it’s really anyone’s fave. I need to try the snack mix. Have a good weekend.
