Friday Favorites
This is not the Friday Favorites post I was hoping to be writing but the baseball gods were not in favor with the Horned Frogs this week. We left College Station at 5:30am on Wednesday and drove to Tulsa and arrived back home Thursday night around 10pm. That, my friends, makes for one tired momma so this is going to be quick!

Being a sports fan can be tough and sometimes you just can’t understand when the wheels fall off. Being the mom of a player and watching it happen just breaks your heart. Losing sucks y’all, but getting beat is the worst. I love this kid though and this whole team has worked so hard and I’m sad it didn’t go the way we all hoped but it’s time to get back on track and be ready for next weekend.
And the highlight was traveling all that way with this nut and my nephew. They kept me entertained and we had some good bonding time.

All was not lost as one of my dear friends drove down from Arkansas on Wednesday for the game. We enjoyed a great night eating pizza at Joe Momma’s and had fun catching up. Carly & Gavin are just 5 months apart and you can see they were thrilled to be taking a picture for us!

I was surprised twice this week reading through another bloggers site and finding my very own picture as a featured fashion post! So fun and such a nice treat.
First was Doranda at Watch Out of for the Woestmans, you can view her What I’m Wearing post here. The What I Wore Wednesday – Office Style post was the “most clicked” of her weekly linkups. So exciting!
Leanne at Classy Yet Trendy also featured me here! The What I Wore Wednesday – Pop of Pink post has been one of my favorites to put together so I was excited to see it,

Today is the last day to order a cuff from Farmgirl Paints by Becky Strahle. If you do not have one yet and are into things like this I absolutely love mine and have worn them more than I ever thought I would! They are fun way to add a little interest to an outfit and bonus she donates a portion of the sales. Her donation this time is going to a widow who lost her husband. I couldn’t help but support that! You can follow her on Instagram and see lots of ideas as well. Here are the two cuffs I have purchased in the past. Try the discount code Summer15.

I have really loved Andrea’s Show & Tell Tuesday Series at Momfessionals and this weeks Momfessional Moments post were some of my favorites. It is so fun to read stories from other moms and see how we all can laugh at our imperfections and know that we still love our babies fiercely! Katy at Queen of the Kings and Kelly at Familiar Joy had two of my favorites! You can read mine here!
Time to recover, refresh and renew over a 3 day weekend. I’m kind of thinking I may need to hop over to Nordstrom for a little anniversary sale shopping to drown my sorrows….I will let you know if I find anything I can’t walk away from!
Have a great one friends!
CONGRATS on the features!! How fun!! 🙂 Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend, Shelly! xo – Brenda // Chatting Over Chocolate
Thank you Brenda! Have a super weekend.
Sad your home early but maybe I'll get to see you in the next day or so!
Maybe…..you know there is no rest for the weary baseball mom! Dillon plays in Humble tomorrow and Baseball USA sunday….if they win all 4 they will play Monday. If not…maybe we can grill and have some McJanac time!
I hate getting beat too and it does break your heart! Jagger has been dealing with this for the first time this year…really understanding winning and losing! It's hard but I guess just part of life! 🙂 Happy Friday!
It's a hard lesson….but teaching them about working hard and giving their all and being a gracious loser is a good thing. There is always going to be a winner and a loser….but if you learn something along the way everyone wins. Have a great weekend Megan!
Girl, that is ALOT of driving in a 24 hour period! Sorry to hear they had a tough game. Do you have a Nordstrom in CS? You lucky lady! We obviously have one in Houston, but it is pretty far away from me. I will be in your neck of the woods today for an awards ceremony for Grace. It will be fun to see the A&M campus even though I've got burnt orange blood. 🙂 Hope you have a relaxing weekend!
We do NOT have a Nordstrom…we barely have a mall! haha….I'm an online girl pretty much. And congrats to Grace!! I hope you guys have an enjoyable visit…would love to bump into you!
Losing blows! Have a great weekend girl
I am so sorry about the games! It is so sweet that you are soooo involved in ALL of your kids activities! I hope you have a great weekend and do some retail therapy 😉
Your fashion posts are some of my favorites – not surprised at all that someone else featured you! And thanks for the shout out friend – that was a fun link to read!
Love your purple scarf and that floral top and pink cross body bag! You look great!
Love your purple scarf, floral top and pink cross body bag, you look great!!
Loving your outfits!! Are you planning on joining GYPO's Summer Challenge? I just signed up, it looks like so much fun and this Mama needs some new clothes 🙂
Thank you Karen! I have debated back and forth on whether or not to sign up! I'm pretty sure it would make my life easier. Can't wait to see what you put together!
