Friday Favs :)

Happy Friday, y’all!!  I think last Friday was the first time I titled my Friday Favorites post as a Favs and I’m sticking with it.  If you know me in real life, then you know my affection for abbreviating everything ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚…even when my sister and bff hate it ha!

And before I tell you about some of my FAVS, I wanted to ask for your prayers.  I’m having surgery today to have my endometriosis cleaned out and I’m not worried about it at all except for the recovery.  The last time I was in a lot of pain and I’m worried about my recovery lasting a long time like it did my last surgery.  Thank you for praying!

Okay now for my FAVS!

 I got this dress Monday night and it’s a light sweater material.  I probably shouldn’t have worn it this week because it was cool and rainy, but I loved it wanted to wear it–so I just pretended it was sunny and warm ๐Ÿ™‚  Dress for the season you want, not the season you’re in, right ๐Ÿ˜œ



 And this is what I normally look like after school ha!  These thin jogger pj pants from Gap are so soft and I am constantly wearing these slippers around the house.



Wednesday was a different kind of day at school in which students could volunteer outside of school instead of coming to school that day.  And it was rainy and gross.  One of my teacher friends got to school at the same time as me and her husband was picking her up coffee from a local coffee shop.  He picked me up a cup, too, and it made my day!  I enjoyed sipping my hot coffee while catching up on the mountain of school work I had.


Come back Monday for an exciting giveaway!!!  Sneak peek on last night’s IG story! (@saraheshaneyfelt)

January 2018 Reads

I know this post is a little late ๐Ÿ™ˆ BUT I’m so excited to share it with y’all because I loved every book I read this month!!!  They were all three very different books, but they were all wonderful and I would recommend them all to you!


 Let me start this by saying that I am a huge John Green fan.  I read my first JG novel in college for a YA lit class (it was Looking for Alaska) and ever since then, I’ve been a fan of his.  He writes about life–the nitty gritty hard parts of life and not the romanticized version.

This novel is centered on Aza, a 16 year old, and the book jacket makes it sound like she wants to be some sort of detective.  The book jacket/Amazon review gives nothing away and the book is so much more than that.  Please, please read this book!  I read it in a day ๐Ÿ™‚



 I picked this up at B&N after reading the jacket and thinking that it sounded interesting.  It’s historical fiction and I didn’t realize it until the end when I read the author’s notes.  It’s based off of the real life story of a baby being auctioned off at the Seattle World’s Fair in the early 1900s.  Seattle apparently also had a large prostitution district and both of these stories weave together.  You’ve got to read the story to find out what happens!


This was for my book club in January, and I’ll have to admit, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Celeste Ng’s first book, Everything I Never Told You.  Why?  She changed narrators way too much within a single chapter.  Well, I was prepared for that this time and I think that really helped me to enjoy this book because I wasn’t as annoying when reading #englishteacherprobs

This book is about a single mother and her high school-aged daughter who move to a master planned community.  Their lives intertwine with the lives of a upper class family with 4 high school aged children.  This is another book that you’ve got to read because the storyline was so good!


I have yet to read a book this month and want a good love story for Valentine’s Day!  Any suggestions?
