Friday Favorites {#279}

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello and happy Friday!

This week was a good one, but it’s always good to see Friday!

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

Here are some favorites from the week:

Trav and I found some time to make it to Keeneland for the fall meet.

I’m usually lucky to go to the races once a meet, but Travis pops in a lot for work. He actually had a TV interview, so he needed to go for that…

…and I tagged along.

We made our way over to the Clubhouse and saw many of our friends. It was a lovely day at the track, and it was nice to watch up with them.

Saturday night, we sat on our back patio and flipped back and forth between the UK game and the Mizzou game. My Tigers won…but unfortunately for the CATS fans in our house, UK lost. Both games went into overtime which made for a late night. The weather was nice, so I’m glad we sat outside for a few hours.

Sunday was a rainy day which was honestly a favorite. I watched one of my favorite movies…

…while Hadley baked “6-7” cookies. If you have teens, you know “6-7” is all the rage! It literally means nothing, but the kids are always saying it…just Google it or find an Instagram reel, and you’ll have your answer of how it came about…but why it’s stuck around so long or is all the rage, I’m not sure.

Pumpkin cold brew hit the spot on Friday. I hope to get another one this weekend.

A few school faves…

One of my friends has been sharing her seasonal agenda slides, and they are so fun.

During my planning or while my students are working, I like to put up a You Tube seasonal background with instrumental music. Fall and winter are the best background, in my opinion.

Speaking of school, my Adv. English 1 students mapped Odysseus’s travels in part 1 of the text, and they did such a good job. I did this assignment last year too, and it’s one I will keep in the rotation for sure.

Favorite Mom Meme:

Why do I feel this one so deeply?!

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

With Keeneland’s October meet wrapping up, I’m sharing this pic which has always been a favorite. Let’s just say Hayden’s horse lost the race…and Hadley’s probably won! haha

Weekly Recap:

I hope you have the best fall weekend!

  1. So glad you made it to Keeneland! Love the slides and the Youtube screensavers/music. I started using them and the kids really liked them. The 6 7 cookies! I am sad I never got to say “seis siete…”

    Happy Friday!

  5. I love that Odysseus assignment. I teach college, but I find that some students really like these more creative ways of doing learning more than just writing another paper! Our weather has been great for getting outside too, but unfortunately, the mosquitos have also been loving it. Rain, then a warm up does not do us good for these Fall months.

  6. I loved reading your post! I am a mom to 3 and a Literacy Coach. I used to blog regularly and loved it, but have fallen off over the past several years as social media has become more popular. I want to get back into it as I love the documentation for my family and the connections I made with other women. Look forward to connecting! ❤
