Friday Favorites

·
Friday again?  I took a day off Wednesday to join the 8th graders for a field trip which made the week fly by.  Friday will need to be a productive day at work but then it will be time for a little celebrating and Aggie football.  Here’s a little hodgepodge of what I’m loving this week!  

{Friendships}

This girl is coming to visit and that always means unexpected things will happen!  I met Lisa the summer I moved to College Station when I was pregnant with Jordan.  There have been years when we have seen each other a lot and then multiple years have gone by without seeing each other at all. We have the kind of friendship that picks right up as if no time has passed at all.  There have been lots of highs and lows and I can say with my whole heart I don’t feel like there has ever been any judgement between us only love and support regardless of some of our stupid choices.  Best kind of friendship right there!  She is definitely one of my favorites!  

{Parenting Wins}

I consider it a parenting win when my kids are not ashamed to hang out with me and sometimes even want to hang out with me!  My parenting wins on Wednesday included chaperoning Dillon’s field trip, snuggling with Carly watching the CMA awards and a FaceTime visit with Riley.  Thursday I had a special treat when Jordan actually called me to have lunch and catch up.  I seriously just love seeing where life has taken that girl this past year and seeing her so excited about her career just makes my heart sing.   

{CMA Favorites}

Carrie Underwood is my overwhelming favorite!  I loved almost all of her outfits {this was my fave!} but even more I love her sense of humor and of course she sang my current favorite song.   She & Brad make such great hosts!  Of course the performance by JT and Chris Stapleton was hard to beat but I have to say I’m a huge Dierks Bentley fan and he doesn’t have to do much to be one of my favorites.  Carly & I both thought Kelsea Ballerini looked so adorable in the romper she wore while singing.  I was not able to find a still shot but you can see the video clip from abc here.  I liked the song before but after seeing her perform it’s a new favorite.  I have to say I have never been a super huge Miranda fan; I either love her song or hate it but my heart was hurting for the girl last night.  Way to stand up and be strong Miranda!

Miranda shared this and I couldn’t help but share!  Trust me, this will be one of your favorites.  Disclaimer…there is a little foul language!

{Boot{ie} Sale}

The Nordstrom 40% off sale started on Thursday and here are a few booties I found that I just couldn’t take my eyes off.  
I actually have the Lucky Brand Betwixt and they have been in heavy rotation this fall and are so comfortable.  
And these babies I showed on Instagram earlier this week are on sale again for the same price I paid in July during the anniversary sale.  They are still an investment but come in black with brown stitching or in brown and I seriously love them!  I have a standing desk at work and typically change from my heels into flats but I stood for at least 4 hours in these and my feet did not hurt a bit.  

{Attitude of Gratitude}

My friend Holly and I are hosting the Attitude of Gratitude linkup each Thursday in November.  While most of us really are grateful each and every day sometimes we may be busy with the busyness and just fail to really pause and reflect.  We hope to encourage you through this linkup to be more intentional about showing gratitude for every day blessings and we would love for you to join us!  The linkup went live yesterday and you can read the first post here.  
And you can always see the full list of linkup parties I may be joining here.  

Don’t forget you have 2 days remaining to enter the giveaway I’m participating in with these beautiful bloggers!  Visit my previous post here and login to win!

Really hoping the rain blows through and brings some cooler temps but also leaves before the Aggies take the field.  Wishing you a fun filled fall weekend!

  9. I seriously have bought more shoes since July than I have in 10 years quite possibly! One thing for sure with these warmer, more humid climates the booties make you feel like you are dressing for fall but not sweltering like the tall boots.

  14. Give me all the boots! I love that Ugg boots are expanding to include things other than the "classic" Ugg (which I adore) Last winter I got a pair of booties that I'm obsessed with.
