Friday Favorites
We had a fairly low key week around the house. The kids have settled into summer and we are all just enjoying some downtime. Downtime every once in awhile is definitely my FAVORITE!
Here are a few other favorites this week!
Mom & Me Fashion
These dresses were definitely one of my favorites to blog about this week. It was so fun to have a mini photo shoot with my little bit. I have thrown this dress on multiple times this week after work. So perfect for these hot evenings. See all the details in my post here.
Sprint Workouts
Our workout on Tuesday consisted of sprints with a little extra fun mixed in between the sets.
5 X 60 second sprint with 120 second rest
7 X 30 second sprint with 60 second rest
9 X 15 second sprint with 30 second rest
If you have never added sprinting to your workout I highly recommend it. Obviously you can do this on your own with just a stopwatch. Sprints create great bodies! I am seriously sore all over and especially my abs…yes my abs! I never realized how many muscles my body actually used to sprint
Dinners
We have been eating at home most nights which has been such a nice change after all the traveling we did in May and June. These stuffed bell peppers hit the spot! I have tried lots of recipes but this night I browned the meat and added a package of taco seasoning along with a can of Rotel and then mixed in brown rice for the filling. I actually boil my bell peppers for a few minutes before stuffing because I prefer them not to be crunchy. I stuffed and baked in the over for about 15 minutes after I topped with cheese. Sriracha sauce is always one of my favorite things to use to give a little extra flavor.

Link Up Parties
Link up parties have been one of my favorite ways to find other bloggers to connect with. I’m so excited to be joining my friend Katy in hosting the Queen Bees series! We will host our first link up party this coming Tuesday {July 14} and we hope you will consider joining us! What is Queen Bees all about you ask? It’s about women loving on other women. You can read more on what inspired us here and here. Giving a shout out to someone who inspires you to be a better person whether through their faith, fashion, wit & humor or fitness goals. Literally any woman whether she is a blogger or not. We can’t wait to read about all the special women out there who are touching others every day! So grab our graphic and join the party. We hope to see you there.
New Opportunities
So the past 10 years or so I have tried to be better at taking care of my skin. I was fortunate growing up to never have to worry about breakouts much but that left me with a really bad habit of going to bed with my makeup on. I probably didn’t start using moisturizer or daily sunscreen consistently until my early 30’s. I have been using the Rodan & Fields redefine line for awhile and I love that the set comes with everything I need from face wash to both day and night moisture cream.
(Sidenote…love my new pjs from Victoria Secret! You can find them here)
So today this showed up on my doorstep just a few days after my welcome showed up on Facebook to announce I have signed on to be a Rodan & Fields consultant. I’m excited to try additional products and share my love for them with others. If you are looking for a new skincare routine please let me know and I’ll give you some suggestions.

Hey Shelley,
I came over on the #FridayFavorites, and I'm glad to find your site.
I also followed you on Pinterest and Twitter and pinned you here: https://www.pinterest.com/melredd/blog-link-parties-and-blog-link-ups/
I love the pictures of you and your daughter. Girls are so fun. I have one daughter who is in college, and I miss her like crazy! Enjoy these days with your girl~
Hope you have a blessed day today~
Melanie
Melanie thanks so much for the follow! I have a daughter who is almost 25 so I know how quickly time passes too. I'm soaking up every chance I can to hold this little girls hand!
I love the dresses, how fun for the both of you! Also, those stuffed peppers look amazing. Have a great weekend!
I finished off the peppers at lunch today….they seriously were so yummy! Have a great weekend.
Oh awesome I have those same VS PJ's in nightgown form! Love the eyelets! You're so cute even with face cream on! 😉 I really want to try R&F. I've heard wonderful stories. Have a spectacular weekend!!
I love my new pjs….I always debate between pants, shorts or a nightgown….I think I prefer a nightgown most of the time but with a teenage boy in the house I've been feeling like the shorts or pants make him more comfortable. Have a great weekend!
You girls are so cute 😉 I love it.. Good Luck on your new adventures
