Friday Favorites: Spring Break Edition!

Usually I am really excited for a Friday Favorites post because it means it’s the last working day of the week, but this time it’s sad because it means that my spring break is almost over!  This has been a great spring break, and the fact that it’s almost over just means it’s closer to summer (and no grad school for me)!

My spring break was…
Monday: lots of errands with Dustin + watching our nephew play baseball
Tuesday: all day in Franklin + Nashville together
Wednesday: all day in Birmingham catching up with two friends
Thursday: getting things done around the house + writing a paper

Today I’ll be grocery shopping, going to our church’s Good Friday service, and then going to our brother+sister-in-law’s house to make Easter goodies.  

A few of my FAVORITES from this week:

I was out running on Monday morning and since it was a beautiful day, people were flying their planes in town.  We live in the flight path of our local airport–it’s an airport for small, personal planes.  I love watching a plane take off so Monday was definitely a FAVORITE because since it was so pretty, lots were out flying!

Supper Monday night was pork that my stepdad smoked, beans from my in-law’s garden, and roasted brussels sprouts!  Healthy and food from my FAVORITE people 🙂

I still can’t get over how wonderful ice cream from Jeni’s was!!!  Their ice cream is my FAVORITE in the whole entire world!

My first stop on Wednesday was to see this precious baby (and maybe her mom, too ha!).  Isn’t her outfit a FAVORITE?  This was right before I left and she had fallen asleep–I love her cheeks and chunky thighs!!!

Before I started writing my paper yesterday, I sat in our super comfy chair and watched the Today Show with the fire going.  The Today Show is a FAVORITE and I hardly got to watch it this spring break.  I’m looking forward to watching it this summer!

The Beaufort Bonnet Company might be my FAVORITE baby clothing (okay, tied with Feltman Brothers).  I saw this on Instagram and sent it to Taylor (whose baby is pictured above) telling her that Elizabeth needed all of this!

Our first Easter together is a FAVORITE memory because Dustin let me coordinate his Easter outfit to my Lilly dress.  We had only been dating a few months at the time and he had no idea what he was in for clothing-wise (as in the price of a Lilly dress haha).  I knew he was a keeper when he let me dress him!



I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend celebrating the risen Savior!

Friday Favorites

It’s FRIDAY and spring break officially starts at 3 PM today!!  Woohoo!  I am more than ready for a break, and after being with 140 seventh graders all day every day, I need the break 🙂

I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for Friday Favorites!


I saw this on Pinterest one night and died laughing after reading and looking at the picture.  I think for me it would be “We have cookie cake”–I would be right over!

Mom and I were shopping not too long ago and we always go into Williams-Sonoma together.  I get my love of cooking/baking from my momma 🙂  I saw this display and was so sad that they didn’t have this around when I was so obsessed with American Girl.  I would have been all about this partnership between the brands!  And can I add that I still played with my doll in sixth grade….too much??

The weather lately has been AMAZING and definitely a FAVORITE!  We spontaneously decided to go eat at Mellow Mushroom one night so that we could eat out on the patio.  The weather was perfect, and so was my date!  He did tell me to caption this picture “My two loves” since his truck is in the background haha.
You can see my newly dyed blonde hair!


I received my copy of Kristin Cavallari’s book and have already started reading it.  Let me tell you, I am impressed.  She talks a lot about healthy living and so I’m learning from her about some of the better food choices that she’s learned to make.  Plus, I totally was into Laguna Beach back in high school, and she talks about it some, too.  (I got to visit Laguna Beach once–way too crowded!!  This was right after the show went off and right before they started The Hills.)


Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday Favorites–Pampered Chef Party!

It’s Friday, y’all, and that means only one more week of school until spring break!  It’s so crazy how fast this school year is flying by…I just hope summer doesn’t fly by, too 🙂

I’m in the middle of hosting a Pampered Chef party, so I wanted to share a few of my FAVORITES from the current catalog (and the things I plan on buying)!

If you want to order from my party, click on this link and you can access the catalog online and also order online.  Just make sure you choose to have your order shipped to you–I think shipping to me is the default!  If you’ve never owned anything from Pampered Chef, then you must order something because it’s the best, and they have great customer service.

If you decide to order, you can do so through next Friday the 18th.


This is number one on my order form right now.  I’ve always wanted to try making noodles out of different vegetables, and my in-laws have a garden each spring that results in a ton of zucchini.  I cannot wait to try my hand at making zoodles–which is the latest rage in eating healthy. 



This bar pan/cookie sheet isn’t on my list BUT I do own TWO of them because I love them so much!  I bake everything on them…cookies, sweet potato fries, roast veggies…you name it and I’ve made it on these.  I will never use another regular cookie sheet as long as I live if I have one of these bar pans.  And luckily, I have a convection oven so I can bake cookies using both pans at the same time!



I have needed a scoop like this for cookie batter and so I’m finally going to break down and buy it from Pampered Chef.  I’ve almost bought one from Williams Sonoma multiple times, but my mom has this one and I know first hand how durable it is.  



I love a good cookbook, but it’s so hard to find good cookbooks that are healthy, too.  Most of the healthy cookbooks I’ve found have recipes for food I can’t even pronounce or don’t even know what it is.  Not this cookbook.  I read through a few of the recipes and they look totally doable.  Plus, there’s a dessert section.  Need I say more? haha!



During the summer months, I like to keep a jug of Crystal Light lemonade in the fridge.  But sometimes it gets annoying making it because after I fill the jug with water, I have to find a wooden spoon long enough to mix it together.  Then I have to wash the wooden spoon.  I love that this is a one-stop product that does it all for you.  And I love that I can even mix it up a bit before pouring myself a glass of few day old lemonade.  My mom has this and I love it–and so of course I need it!


If you use Pampered Chef, what’s your favorite product?
