Friday Favorites {#249}

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello and happy Friday!

I hope you’ve had a great week. Ours was good with the beautiful weather, and we seemed to have some downtime in the evenings which was appreciated!

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

Here are some favorites from the week…

Starting with this meme that made me laugh…and it definitely relatable!

It’s very rare that I actually go into Target as I often do Target pick-up. Last Saturday, Hadley and I ran some errands, and she needed a few things. The dollar spot immediately stopped me in my tracks. I saw these neutral ric rac place mats and thought they’d be just what I needed under our jute place mats. I was a bit behind, and just put away my winter dishes, and got back out my everyday dishes. These cute floral ones are almost twenty years old! They were on our wedding registry at Pier One. Man, I miss Pier One!

I was “influenced” and ordered this All in Motion “airy” fabric zip up jacket. For all the clothes I have, I do lack in light weight jackets. When I got it, it was on sale for $25, but I also think it’s worth the $35 price tag.

The fabric is so soft, and I like that it cinches at the waist.

Well, I’ve also been “influenced” by Hadley. She occasionally drinks an Alani, and that’s had me taking a few sips. I think she’s tried most of the flavors, but now it’s my turn. I took one to school this week, and the “orange kiss” flavor is good.

The kids’ track photos came in, and they are so good! I really appreciate the smiles!

I’d joked with the track coach that if they got a decent pic together, they’d be off the hook for Mother’s Day! They did get a couple of pics together, and this one is my fave.

My girl…right before her summer job interview on Wednesday. Not sure that I’ll look back and remember that this photo was right before that moment, but I’m sharing it anyway.

I’ve been loving my new candles from Antique Candle Co. My order arrived a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been burning Almond Vanilla, and it’s so good.

I ordered two candles and got one free. These will last me the next couple of months. I’ve burned a bit of the lavender vanilla, and it’s so great for spring. Sweet lemon will be great for spring and summer.

I saw this pic on Instagram and X….twin fillies! Rare and precious! (FYI -these aren’t at Trav’s farm.)

Favorite Mom Meme:

Both my kids have had two rounds of braces, and let’s just say if there’s ever a third round, that’s on them!

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

2015 was such a cute year!

Onion ring entertainment at dinner…

…and sweet little drawings…and booster seats!

St. Patrick’s Day:

Well, this weekend, I’ll make my traditional corned beef, cabbage, and Irish soda bread! We can’t wait.

Here are the recipes if you need an easy and delicious meal to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

  1. I miss Pier One too; we still have all our “wedding” place settings from them as well as some random household items like napkin rings and things. I even had a table and chair set from them at one time.

      1. I might have gotten mine too soon – last Sunday. But the corned beef is good til May and the veg are pretty hardy.
        Don’t forget your Mister Mustard or your brother will kick your booty!

  3. Pier 1 was the greatest but I love your Target find- love a little ric rac. Your St Patty’s dinner always looks so yummy and colorful too 🙂

  7. I loved Pier One too! I bought so much there and loved the aesthetic. My oldest daughter had perfect teeth until her senior year in high school when they started moving. She was ‘forced’ to wear braces for a very brief time and we laugh now and say that orthodontist probably still talks about her. She was a terrible patient asking every other minute when they would take them off. I had braces as a kid, but did invisilign about fifteen years ago. They put a permanent retainer on the inside of my lower teeth and it’s still there and they haven’t shifted so I guess it worked. I love the St. Patrick’s Day meal and look forward to it every year. I don’t usually do the bread but maybe this year will add that since I have a houseful here. Have a nice week!

    1. Just last night, my daughter asked if I could take her to get a new retainer because other ones don’t fit and now she wants to wear them. I make two loaves of the bread because it’s such a hit. I just had a leftover slice worth my coffee this morning.
