Friday Favorites

·

Whew!  First week back after 9 days off was tough.  All the work I did over our staycation to purge a few things and get organized really paid off, though, because it’s Friday and my house is still looking like no one was here this week so yea!

This week I shared my fave wine for spring, purged my heart a little and co-hosted Royally Waiting for the 5th week!  Today I’m sharing a few things I’m loving lately because you guys are my favorites and I don’t want you to miss out!

A pair of workout shorts I can wear for any activity, including running, are often hard to find for me.  I do have bigger thighs especially around the top.  So many shorts are 3-3.5″ and hit right at the largest part of my leg which makes them ride up as I’m exercising and no one needs to see that.  I’ve been super excited to wear these racer run shorts since receiving because at 4.5″ they hit perfectly!

What a fun surprise!  My sister-in-law surprised me last night with this sweet Alex and Ani bracelet I tried on while we were in Vegas.  This is my first Alex and Ani piece and I’m super excited to create a fun stack with it!

Since Jordan is visiting Riley at Spring Training our grand dog, Pesto, has been staying with us. We love these two nuts and were happy to celebrate National Puppy Day with them on Thursday.


We have been having fun with our second Hello Fresh box this week!  Even though each meal is suppose to be 2 portions, we have stretched to 3 for Keith, Carly and I and it’s been plenty of food.  This steak was delish!  I’ve been impressed with how fresh the ingredients are.  If you would like to try a box at $40 off, you can use my code and we both win! (You get $40 off + your own code for future use and I receive a $20 voucher towards my next box).

Earlier this week I linked up for Workin’ it Wednesday and shared my tips on balancing home + work.  This meme totally cracked me up.

 I hope you all have a super weekend ahead!  We don’t have too much going on but hoping to catch Beauty and the Beast with my girls.  Be sure to visit the Linkup Love to see who I’m joining today!

  1. Hi darling!!! Happy Friday, too funny, my sis in law got me an Alex and Ani bracelet. Your is darling!!! Love a good workout short, fresh food and YOU!!!!! Have a sweet weekend full of smiles!!

  2. That bracelet is beautiful, and that Hello Fresh meal is very tempting! Love the meme- mine would probably include a picture of me hiding somewhere so my kids couldn’t see me eating a snack that they would want me to share with them! Have a great weekend!

  3. Hello Fresh meals are so good!! That meme cracks me up and it is so true. We already have our tickets for Beauty and the Beast, we are so excited!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

  4. My brother, who apparently has impeccable taste, recently gave me an Alex & Ani bracelet representing my sorority from waaaaay back in the day. Love it and the memories it brings back.
    Love your bluebonnet graphic! So Texas. Our poppies are blooming and I need to go roll around in them this weekend because like that (snap) they will be gone.
    Will check out your shorts. No one wants to see my upper thighs under any conditions.
    Still thinking about your heart purging post. So touching, such wisdom. XO

    1. Leslie you have a super sweet and thoughtful brother obviously! We must get out this weekend for bluebonnet pictures before they are long gone. It rained today so hopefully it won’t be too wet. Nothing like trying to get my kids to behave for pictures when the conditions are not ideal! Hope you have a great weekend!

  5. I love Hello Fresh and the meals that we are having thanks to their boxes. It’s been such a breeze to put dinner together since everything comes in it’s own mini-box.

  6. That bracelet is adorable. I love it. We have received Hello Fresh boxes and I love the convenience of them. Have a wonderful weekend!

  7. That graphic is so funny! I have never tried the Hello Fresh kits before but have been hearing about them. I am going to need to try. That bracelet is adorable. I am so excited for our spring break and hope it is just as productive as yours. Happy Friday Shelly!

    1. My husband and I really like cooking together and Carly Jo has seriously been the most excited about trying the meals. It’s been so cute. Plus, I have not gone to the grocery store in two weeks for anything but eggs and milk lol.

  8. I’m glad you’ve been enjoying Hello Fresh. I’d like to try one of those boxes at some point. What a cute bracelet – that’s too sweet of your sister in law. Yay for finding work out shorts that fit! I have trouble finding suitable shorts too sometimes.

  9. I’ve had the best week here in Texas and visiting all the beautiful cities! Tay and I agreed that CStat was our favorite!!!

  10. Hey lady! I tried to comment on Purging My Heart but my stupid phone wouldn’t let me. That post was one I can relate to so very much. You did so well on that piece. My dad and I.well…we don’t have time for that! So that bracelet is adorbs. But you know what, you are super adorbs so whatever you work out in or sport on your wrist can’t help but be pretty awesome.

    1. Thanks friend! Family relationships can definitely be complicated can’t they? Headed to my moms tomorrow so I can take her for a procedure on Monday (that she does not want to have) so pray for me girl…she’s a hard headed toot! Hope you are having a super weekend.

    1. I have not tried Blue Apron Sarah….but I do have a coupon and have been thinking about it. I logged in once and wasn’t super happy with the meal choices. We have loved Hello Fresh for the most part. One meal was a little more intensive to make but it did taste good in the end. Another was so easy and we loved it so much my husband recreated it last night!

  11. I ran in shorts last week and I was quickly reminded why I never run in shorts, lol! I am a capri pant girl all the way I like my tight spandex that stays put. Glad to hear your hard work payed off. I am really hoping mine does soon too. I can’t believe I have almost cleaned every space inside our entire house.

    1. Running in shorts is not happening for me…chub rub is real! I work out in capris almost all the time but every so often I need some shorts when it gets so hot here. It feels so amazing to clean out and organize. I promise myself every time I will not let it get that way again!
