Friday Faves- February 8th

February 8, 2013




Happy Friday everyone!

1. Mini Chocolate-Meringue Cupcakes from Iowa Girl Eats.  SUPER good.  Trust me, you can just have one!
2.  Monogram stamp, part of the Trio Stamp from Mason Row.  I took advantage of a Groupon deal they offered and got the trio stamp with the monogram, Christmas return address and a regular “everyday” return address stamp.  LOVE this…such a nice twist when mailing something to friends/family!
3.  Izzy getting snuggly during a cold winter night.  (And yes, she has two blankets because she is spoiled.  And I’m ok with that.) Love that pup!
4.  Washi tape that I picked up from Target.  $4 for 4 rolls…and they had tons of other colors!  What do you do with this stuff?  One word: Pinterest.  The possibilities are endless!
5.  Mid-week date night with the hubs: Culver’s and a Redbox movie (Pitch Perfect).  If you don’t have a Culver’s where you live, I’m so sorry.  It’s amazeballs!  And Pitch Perfect was hilarious!  Not gonna lie, I would be in an a capella group if the opportunity came about…
6.  Staying warm and cozy with a Victoria’s Secret drape cardigan that I got during their semi-annual clearance.

And in honor of (casual) Friday, here is an outfit I put together from a couple of weeks ago…its a preppy/casual look!

    Stopping in from the H54F linkup! I also recently purchased some Washi tape and can’t wait to put it to good use. Also, Culvers is amazeballs! And the outfit is adorable. :)

      I know…I couldn’t believe it either! They call it “painter’s tape” and it’s in the stationary/desk supplies section! Thanks for reading!

    • #Mondaymeditations I so grateful to be entrusted with these two boys. It is such a joy to watch them grow. I pray the Lord fills them with joy and gives them a determination to live for Him.

    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats.

    • I am deeply grateful that our school has been able to be in person since the start of the school year last fall. A large part of that is due to the incredible staff and teachers like @carrie_dorst that pulls double duty not only as an amazing teacher day in and day out, but also as a disinfecting, social distancing, safety checking guru!
