Friday Favorites

It’s finally Friday, friends! This has been another super busy week, but yet so productive and fulfilling. I hope yours has went well so far!

 

1. My First Fall Bucket List

 

This probably seems redundant to those of you who read Monday’s post, but I had to include it in my favorites. I have read so many Fall Bucket lists from bloggers for as long as I can remember. It was a dream come true to be able to post my own on my blog this week!

 

2. It’s Starting to Feel Like Fall

 

We haven’t been having those low 90’s lately that just feel like you’re baking outside, and I’m so thankful! While I don’t like Winter at all, I truly love Fall and just a little cooler temperatures.

 

3. Three Ingredient Recipes!

 

Is there anything better than three ingredient recipes? They make me so happy! We are having a Ladies’ Day event at church this weekend and wanted to try something new for dessert. I’m bringing a three ingredient Hershey’s Pie! I found this recipe while searching on Pinterest, check it out here from The Lazy Dish!

 

4. Walmart Sweater!

 

I fell in love with this sweater while I was picking up my groceries about a month or so ago. I didn’t actually buy it then (I deemed it an impulse buy), but then I kept seeing it every time I shopped. I also saw it on a ton of blogs!! I had a work event earlier this week and decided I could buy it for that. It’s so pretty, soft and cozy!!

 

5. Downtime

 

It has been a busy couple of weeks, friends! I’m looking forward to some downtime this weekend. Even though there is some cleaning involved as well as the church event, I plan on curling up and relaxing in the meantime. 🙂

 

I hope you have the very best Friday and weekend ahead! Take time for you, you deserve it!

 

Let’s Chat!

    Oh, I like that sweater too. I love block stripes. I’m definitely trying that chocolate whipped pie recipe. That’s one that my daughter will probably like too.. and then she’ll make it for me. She loves to bake.

      I do, too! They had some other colors, as well. 🙂 Let me know if you ladies like it! It was REALLY rich. I’d like to find a way to lighten it up a bit.

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?
