Friday Favorites

I hope October is treating you well so far, friends! I don’t know about you, but I am so thankful it’s Fri-yay!!

 

1. A Productive Week

 

I’m super thankful for having a productive week. Some of it was challenging and I let my head get in the way, but nonetheless, I persevered. Just in case you’re going through a similar issue, you can do it! Continue to trust the process and believe in yourself, and you can accomplish amazing things!

 

2. The Entire Series of Suits!

 

Okay, this is probably the last time you’ll see this on my Friday Favorites (or at least until I re-watch the series!). I finished up the last season this week and loved the ending! I’m so sad it’s over now, I am going to miss all of the fantastic characters. I am looking forward to starting Pearson soon though!

 

3. Pizza

 

Not the healthiest favorite, but it is oh-so-good! It’s been a long week and I’m typing this on Thursday evening…so you can guess what dinner is for me! What’s your favorite pizza ever?

 

4. Peace

 

This sort of goes back to #1. Even though I worried myself sick some of this week, and had a lot of different emotions all at once – I am thankful for the peace that only God can give. Today (the 10th) marks one year since my father-in-law passed away, and it doesn’t seem real. He was the sweetest man, and made it his mission to love others wholeheartedly. I can only hope to sow those same seeds over the years.

 

5. Fellowship

 

This is actually a favorite from last week, but since I didn’t get that post out – I’ll add it here. Our church did a little fundraiser, selling lunches last week. While it was a lot of work, it’s always nice to come together for a wonderful cause!

 

Let’s Chat!

What’s your favorite thing from this week?
Any fun plans for this weekend?

    I cried during the series finale of Suits. This show has been in my life for years and I’m going to miss it!

    I love Suits too. The characters are great. I’m looking forward to catching up a bit this weekend. Paul’s away mountain biking with friends so I’ll have lots of time.

    I need to watch Suits, I haven’t even seen one episode! Also, pizza is life! My favorite type is stuffed crust, it’s so good!

      You’ll love it, Ashlee!! I promise it doesn’t take very long at all to fall in love with these characters! I was hooked from the first episode, and luckily all the seasons are on Amazon Prime.

      Stuffed crust is amazing!!

About Me

I'm Ashley, the one-woman village behind this little blog! Living in my thirties era and happily married to my soul mate. Forever missing our rescue cats that crossed the rainbow bridge, Draino and Pepper. I’m obsessed with grabbing iced coffee, watching court cases, check marking my to-do list, fresh air, cozy blankets, helping others, and saying ‘I love you’ before every goodbye.

I'm so happy you're here and can't wait to connect with you on all the marvelous things!

Yes, iced coffee counts! 😉 Sometimes it’s the sma Yes, iced coffee counts! 😉

Sometimes it’s the smallest, simplest things that make us feel most grounded - and those things are worth remembering and incorporating! 

Maybe it’s a morning cup of coffee, spending time in your Bible, listening to your favorite podcast, stepping outside for some fresh air, a few quiet minutes going over your to-do list in your planner, or checking in with someone you love. 
 
Let your tiny anchors remind you to slow down and be present in your everyday life. It all goes by so quickly, sweet friends! 🩷
 
What’s one little thing that helps you feel grounded?
