Friday Favorites

We are flying through October, friends! It’s time for my Friday Favorites. Wishing each of you the most amazing Friday!

 

1. Cute Toilet Paper Roll Pumpkins!

 

These adorable plaid pumpkins made from toilet paper rolls from It’s Always Autumn are my absolute favorite find for this week! I can’t wait to make some of these!

 

2. Disney+

 

I know this doesn’t get released until November 12th, but I just saw a list of everything that’s going to be added. It’s going to be awesome! If you’re a Disney fan, I’m sure you’ll be super excited about some of these tv shows and movies. For $6.99 (less than Netflix or Amazon Prime!), it’s such a steal! What are you most excited about? I can’t wait to watch Kim Possible, Smart Guy and Lizzie McGuire!

 

3. Starbucks Happy Hour

 

For those of you who regularly visit Starbucks, you’ll know what I’m talking about! Every Thursday, they have Happy Hour in the afternoon. It was a ‘buy one handcrafted drink, get one free’ this week. Double pumpkin cream cold brews for the win!

 

4. Ladies Day

 

We had a Ladies Day at church last weekend and it was wonderful! The theme was butterflies and titled “I Can Fly.” It was such a great message! It is time that we spread our wings and fly, and let all of those negative traits that we’ve been holding onto GO!

 

5. Soups!

 

I’ve been soup-obsessed this week! At our Ladies Day, we made different soups for lunch. I just finished up some chili leftovers, and have a little bit of chicken noodle left. Homemade soups are so delicious, especially as it gets a little colder in the Fall.

 

Let’s Chat!

How’s your Friday going?
What are you looking forward to this weekend?

    I’ve been really into soups too. I love soups and casseroles in the fall and winter.

      I tried to look it up on the Starbucks website, and it doesn’t list any restrictions to only the US. I’d ask your local Starbucks and see if they offer it! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by, Kiran!

    I love the pumpkins made from toilet paper rolls. I am going to have to try this craft project. Nobody would know that there is toilet paper hidden inside.

    This is such a lovely post, and I enjoyed the message you had on ladies day in church. It’s so important to lift one another up that’s for sure.

    My status on Facebook today came through prayer so I shall share it with you now:

    To whoever is reading this: Know your worth, love others, love yourself. Have #Faith in all that you do. Strive forward with dignity and grace. Life is a beautiful thing. You are a blessing.

      It’s awesome, Simone! Just make sure that you’re a Starbucks Rewards member before heading over on Thursday. I forgot to include that in the post. It’s free! You just pick up a Starbucks gift card, register it, and then use it to pay for your drinks.

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! 🩷
