Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday, y’all!  Today means that another week has gone by in my summer vacation–so sad!  On the flip side, today also marks the end of Vacation Bible School.  Our theme this year, Submerged, has been great and I’ve enjoyed the teaching material–really solid stuff!

Today I’m linking up with Andrea and sharing a few of my favorite things with y’all!

 I started watching When Calls the Heart on Hallmark this last time it was on TV, but I had no idea that it was season 3!  So I’ve been on Netflix watching the first 2 seasons trying to get caught up.  I love anything on Hallmark–it’s clean and family friendly, and this show is fantastic!


 Dustin might not admit it, but he likes a few reality TV shows.  We were watching Southern Charm the other night when he reminded me it was National Best Friend Day.  How perfect that I’m watching my favorite type of show with my favorite person?  (Also, how perfect is it that my husband reminded me that it was National BF Day??)


 Last night D and I did some babysitting.  He played with the big boys and I played with the baby 🙂  Give me all of the heart eye emojis for this!!!


 Tuesday I linked up for Show and Tell Tuesday to share what’s in my bag.  I love this Barrington tote!  I was carrying a Madewell bag but have been wanting to switch to a tote for a while–glad I did!


Wednesday I blogged the recipes for these AMAZING cinnamon rolls–need I say anymore?


 And yesterday I blogged about a new hairstyle I am debating over.  I loved everyone’s thoughts and I’m leaning toward getting it cut!  As my mom pointed out, it’s just hair right?

Thoughts on a Thursday–New Hair?

Sometimes when I get an idea about doing my hair differently, it just sticks with me and I think about it constantly.  Like when I wanted to try the balayage look with my hair, I obsessed over it until I did it (and ended up loving it!).  But then the minute I was over that look and ready to go back blonde, that was all I could think about until it happened.  Just this week, I’ve started thinking about cutting my hair short again and now it’s all I can think about.  I’ve even been texting my friend Kristi different pictures of hair inspiration.  Is anyone else like that, too?

These are a few of my inspiration pictures for the hair style I’m loving and contemplating over:

If it were anyone else doing this, I would be all Yeah!  Yeah!  Yeah!  Cut that hair!  BUT since it’s me, I’m a little more hesitant.  I’m going to be a list maker like my husband and list my pros and cons  (Do you see how big of a deal this is to me? haha!)

PROS:
-new hair is like a new beginning
-less time to dry/fix each day

CONS:
-if I don’t like it, it takes forever for my hair to grow back out
-can’t throw it up in a bun/ponytail if it’s dirty
-won’t look as good curly if it’s short

I know this is the craziest post and sounds a little obsessive, but it’s just who I am 🙂  I tend to over-analyze a lot!

**If I choose to cut my hair, it won’t be until after summer is over–I like long hair for summer!

Super Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Be prepared–I am about to share with you the easiest cinnamon roll recipe ever!  I’m not much of a cinnamon roll person for breakfast.  Now if I’m offered one, I’m not going to turn it down, but I would much rather have something a like an English muffin and peanut butter.  But for lunch or supper?  Yep!  I will definitely take a cinnamon roll for that–or even as a mid-day snack 🙂

I randomly had a can of biscuits in the fridge that I had bought just in case I wanted to whip up breakfast for supper–that’s my favorite!  But I decided to try my hand at making semi-homemade cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing because I always have the ingredients for cream cheese icing on hand!

I grabbed a pie dish, the ingredients, and got to work!




Super Easy Cinnamon Rolls
1 can biscuits (I used Grands Juniors [10] original flavor)
1.5 TBS melted butter
sugar + cinnamon mixture
reduced fat cream cheese, softened
1-2 cups of confectioners sugar
1 TBS milk

1. Preheat your oven to what your biscuits say and spray your pie dish with Pam.
2. Flatten out each biscuit, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with your cinnamon and sugar mixture.
3. Roll up each biscuit like a sandwich wrap and place seam side down in your pie dish.
4. Bake according to what your biscuit can said.  (Mine was at 400 for 10 minutes.)
5. While your cinnamon rolls are baking, start making your cream cheese: Beat your softened cream cheese.  Start by adding 1 cup of confectioners sugar and 1 TBS milk.  If you don’t like your icing too cream-cheesy (my own word ha!), then add in more sugar, but I like mine to taste like cream cheese so I stopped at 1 cup.
6. As soon as you take your cinnamon rolls out of the oven, slather them with the icing and enjoy!
