Happy Friday, y’all! I hope it’s been a great week for you! We snuck in a quick overnight trip to Chattanooga that I’ll share about in this blog post!
As always, I’m sharing my FAVORITES with y’all today!!!
one
Tomorrow the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to everyone. This is something I’ve loved shopping since 2015, and this year wasn’t the most exciting of sales–but I did get a few things that I wanted to share!
These heels look cute and I think they would be very comfortable for teaching! I can wear them with either a dress or jeans, so I can’t wait to get them in and try them on.
I also got these jeans (that can be worn with the shoes above). I sized up one based on the reviews, so we’ll see how they fit. But these can be worn now and in the cold months!
I also got these pajamas which I’m very excited about! I’ve got multiple pairs of pjs from the sale over the years, but they all button up the front. The Nordstrom pjs are always worth the buy!!!

I finished this book on our ride back from Chattanooga and it’s book 1 in a series of 4. I know I’ve talked about this author, Robert Bailey, before on my blog, but I love all of his books!!! I devoured this one in three days and started the 2nd book as soon as I finished this one. He’s local to north Alabama, so his writing features a lot of places I’m familiar with, but his plot lines are always so good. He always keeps me guessing and then I start doubting myself when I think I’ve figured it out. I highly recommend reading one of his books!

We took a quick trip to Chattanooga this week so visit the aquarium and children’s museum-both were a big hit with the kids!

This is a neat little fact, but Chattanooga served as Spain’s base camp for training and such before they started traveling the US for their World Cup matches. And the hotel we stayed in was the hotel Spain’s soccer team stayed in–which we didn’t know until after we got there. We kept wondering why there were pictures of Spain’s players and their crest all over our hotel.
This is part of the outside of our hotel and the entire first floor was wrapped in pictures of the players. It was very neat to learn that and it made sense why the hotel was decked out in support of Spain!

Yesterday was our last summer reading program day at our local library, and it was prize day! We all turned in our completed summer reading logs recording all of the reading we did over the summer, and the mayor drew for prizes out of little fish bowls divided by age brackets. All of the Shaneyfelts won this year :). We’re never that lucky and it’ll probably never happen again, but we all left with prizes this year!
Merritt was very excited to walk and get her prize
Yay Banks with a gift card!
Harry with some legos!!
My reaction each time I heard our name called out haha!
I hope y’all have a great weekend!!!
Great buys from Nordstrom. I love those heels and it sounds like a fun day at the aquarium and children’s museum.
I hope they work out haha! And yes, it was a fun little trip!
I love the shoes. And I just added the book to my list. I have been to the aquarium with my grandsons, such fun. And i know the kids were happy to all win something.
You’ll have to tell me what you think of that book!!
That aquarium looks wonderful.
It was really fun!
I love seeing all your favourites, especially the jeans, which will look great with the heels. I’ve become such a fan of wide-leg pants and don’t know how I wore skinny jeans for so long! I can’t even look at them now. The Chattanooga trip looked like so much fun, and how special that you ended up staying at the same hotel as the Spain team without even knowing. What a great surprise! Have a great weekend, Sarah!
I’m trying to move myself away from skinny jeans haha!!! 🙈 And it was really neat once we figured out why everything was branded with Spain’s soccer teams ha!
That is SO fun that you all won prizes at the reading program! We have NEVER won, and every year I have to tell the kids that it’s ok to just read for the fun of it and not for the prize- but man, some of the prizes are our library are NICE!
You should do your prizes when they complete their reading logs! That would be fun!
