Friday Favorites

Friday Faves!

Happy Friday, y’all!  Princess Eugenie got married this morning and they showed the wedding live on TLC.  Anyone else get up to watch it?!  I didn’t get up at 3:25 am when it started but I did wake up to see parts of the ceremony.  TLC is replaying it this morning for those of you who want to watch it (and look for Meghan ha!).

I have a few FAVORITES to share with y’all today!

-I’ve had lots of people ask me about how I curl my hair.  I use this wand and I definitely use the glove that comes with it because it gets extremely hot.  I think the really hot temp keeps my hair curled for days.
-I use this hairspray after I curl my hair on the first day.  Then on following days when I only have to touch up a few pieces, I don’t use any or much hairspray.
-With my birthday coming up, I’ve been thinking about what I want.  I need some new sweaters and I basically love every sweater this brand puts out.


 I was off work Monday and Tuesday for fall break (hallelujah!) and since my sister works from home now, we were able to hang out Monday and Tuesday.  We went to an early morning appointment together and she brought her laptop to work on editing pictures while we waited.


 My mom was in Michigan because my uncle passed away, so she facetimed us while I drove us home.  Rachel told Mom to smile and she either didn’t hear us or was too busy putting on her makeup to be in our picture haha!


 Tuesday I got to play photographer and take pictures of Rachel to celebrate her birthday on Wednesday.  I enjoyed us having the same schedule so we could hang out together.


Wednesday night we celebrated Rachel’s 27th birthday, and that means that my birthday is about two weeks away!  

I know this whole post centers around my sister but I saw her every day this week and that’s been a big FAVORITE because we have such a close relationship!

I haven’t done a favorite song in a while, but since I went to see A Star Is Born last weekend, I have thought so much about the soundtrack.  I ended up buying this song and have listened to it all week!

Friday Faves!!

Is it really Friday?!  I am in need of a break so badly and we don’t have fall break for a couple more weeks.  I just need to get about 12 hours of sleep haha!!

Today I’m sharing all of my FAVORITES!!!

 Random date nights with Dustin are always a FAVORITE!!  Especially when these random date nights end in Barnes & Noble looking at books and drinking coffee.  Also, can you tell how tired I am? 😂 This is what happens when teachers go out on a Friday night ha!



 My sister is so awesome because she made me some Weight Watcher friendly cupcakes (so good) and brought my favorite latte to school on Wednesday!!  I had been having a tough week at school and it was exactly what I needed to pick me up!



I received the sweetest package in the mail earlier this week!  A sweet reader, Melissa, mailed me this Kissy Kissy converter gown for Baby Shaneyfelt and I am so excited to put this on our baby!  

This sweet gesture got me thinking of how to love people well–this can be people who are going through something major in their lives or a sickness–because sometimes people don’t do anything because they don’t know what’s appropriate or where to even start.  This is a blog post topic I’ve been thinking about since going through IVF, so I may get up enough courage to write it!



 Monday is the last day to order these gorgeous ornaments!!!  Go to this blog post to get more info on how to order, but these have been my most favorite things ever!!



There are a few things in my life that I’m really OCD over.  Finding the perfect pillow or certain chapsticks are some things that I’m so particular about.  But another thing is a brush.  I’m so embarrassed to admit this but I’ve been using the same brush since high school.  Yep.  You read that right.  I’ve tried other brushes, but I just couldn’t find anything that worked great with my hair.  Then I got tired of using a comb for my wet hair and then a brush for my dry hair and I had heard people talk about wet brushes.  I ended up buying the Drybar brush and I AM OBSESSED!  It’s literally been a lifesaver for me and I will never use another brush ever.  This brush goes through my wet and dry hair effortlessly and it was well worth the money!


This is my perfect fall playlist!!

Friday Faves + Last Day to Order Adoption Shirts!

Happy Friday, y’all!  I’ve been thinking it’s been Friday since Wednesday, so this week has felt really strange and weird 😜  We’ve got a fun weekend coming up!  Our town has its annual festival downtown so we’ll do that, and it’s crazy to think that next year we’ll have a baby we’ll be taking!  Eek!

Oh, and we are ACTIVE!!!

TOMORROW is the last day for shirt orders!  Just in case you want one, I’ll give the info one more time…
$20 = youth M-XL and adult S-XL
$22 = 2XL-3XL
$5 for shipping
**When paying on paypal, please DO NOT choose for goods and services.  We actually lose money if you send us money that way because paypal takes out a percentage!

THANK YOU so much to everyone who has purchased or just donated to us.  We truly cannot do it without you!
I love this shirt!!


Since it’s Friday, I’m sharing a few of my FAVORITES with you!


 I put the boba wrap on Dustin and this has to be my FAVORITE picture this week!  We laughed so hard, too haha!  I’m a little apprehensive about putting a newborn in this thing, but I know we’ll get the hang of it eventually.



 Last weekend we had two fundraisers going on at the same time.  Dustin’s family was doing a yard sale for us so he was working the yard sale, and my sister (who does photography) did adoption mini sessions for us!  My mom and I helped her out and we were out there from 10am to 7pm!  It was a really long day and we were sweaty and exhausted at the end, but we had a great turnout!  My FAVORITE part of the day was spending the whole day together! 



 I posted about this earlier this week, but Mallory Ervin (who I am obsessed with) talked all about how bloggers/influencers and their followers are equal!  I loved seeing how someone who is so famous be really humble about that topic.  Another reason why she’s my FAVORITE!



 Right now, the Journeywomen podcast is my FAVORITE!!  This episode was excellent because she really talked about how we really glorify God in our day to day life of the mundane.  Another great podcast was the one from this Monday on submission.  Wow, did that really convict me.  I’m sure many of us hear the word submission and immediately think about our husbands, but ultimately our submission is to God.


Excuse the watermark, but I love my Athleta sweatshirt that I got for Christmas last year!  I wear it a ton and it was chilly earlier this week so I was able to wear it to Walmart.  This sweatshirt is a little on the pricey end, so I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a dupe for my beloved sweatshirt.


 Y’all…I couldn’t believe that Walmart had a sweatshirt that looked just like the one above.  It even had the longer hemline in the back with the side slits.  And $13?!  You can’t beat that!  There was a black color behind the gray!



 Our local Starbucks was closed for about a month to renovate.  It reopened a little over a week ago and I hadn’t been, so Dustin and I went the other night.  I love how they’ve redone the inside!  My FAVORITE part is how roomy and open everything is.



I can’t help but laugh at all of these memes 😂😂  This one had me laughing because I do not like cats at all!  And it doesn’t help that I have been bitten by a cat during a church sleepover when I was in the junior high WHILE I WAS SLEEPING.  I’ve never forgotten that 😜
