Meet the Shaneyfelts

Friday Favorites!

Yay for December 1st!!!!

Christmas is my very favorite time of the year and even though I’ve been celebrating Christmas for a couple of weeks now, I feel like the Christmas season can officially begin now that it’s December.

Today is short and sweet, but I do have a few FAVORITES to share with you.  The most important one (and the one I’m most excited about!!) is the link up that Victoria and I are hosting because it starts MONDAY!!!

This is our second year to host this link up and we’re really excited about the prompts this year.  AND we’ve changed it up a little with guest cohosts this year.  Emily will be cohosting on Monday, so be sure to check out her blog, too!

 I’m selling the dress I wore to The Butterfly Ball, so please email me if you’re interested!
It’s a stretch, jersey material.  I wore it once for only 4 hours and it’s a size 12.  I paid $150+tax and I’m asking $120.  This dress really was a favorite, but I won’t need it any longer!



And finally, Mom don’t get mad at me for sharing these, but they are the CUTEST PICTURES EVER! Mom went through some of her school pictures and sent a bunch to me and Rachel and I love her early elementary pictures!!! Seriously, so, so cute! Her kindergarten picture reminds me of Rachel when she was really little. And notice how my mom cut her bangs right before her 2nd grade picture haha!


And my last FAVORITE?? Next week is my last normal week of school for 2017 because the week after that is exam week! Basically, next week is exam review, so that means I AM DONE TEACHING NEW MATERIAL FOR THIS SEMESTER!! Woohoo! Just now to review everything…


I hope y’all have a wonderful Friday and that you listen to lots of Christmas music!!

Random Thoughts on a Wednesday!

Today’s post is just a collection of random thoughts I’ve got floating around in my head right now 😜


I think I want to become a hot tea drinker.  Ever since I drank my first Coldbuster from Starbucks and it contained hot tea, I’ve decided to try it.  I talked to my best friend on the phone the other day and found out she’s a hot tea drinker too, so I feel like that means I can too ha!  She loves the Tazo cranberry orange–which sounds like it would be my favorite.  I plan on picking some up my next grocery trip and I’ll keep y’all updated!


I really want this lipstick.  I’m still searching for a red that looks good on me.


I’ve been inspired to read some of Candace Cameron Bure’s books because I’ve seen her all over the Hallmark Channel this Christmas season.  I want to read Reshaping It All and her latest release, Staying Stylish. 


I’m sure everyone has already read about and watched the news about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.  When I first heard they were dating, I didn’t give much thought to it because she is American, she’s a movie star, and she’s divorced.  I assumed it was another fling and he’d move onto someone with a better pedigree (sounds awful but true).  Now that they have officially announced their engagement, I am hopping on the fan club bandwagon for Meghan Markle.  I didn’t know her before (except I’m pretty sure she’s been in a Hallmark movie…am I right?!), but after checking out some of her clothes, I’m really becoming a fan of her style!  



A Long Thanksgiving Weekend!

Last Wednesday began my Thanksgiving Break and if it’s been one thing, it’s been wonderful!  The only thing not so wonderful about this break was the Iron Bowl….but I won’t talk about that 🙈

We started our first Thanksgiving Wednesday night with the Shaneyfelts at Dustin’s brother’s house.
 We had way too much food!


 I wore the comfiest outfit that night–this sweater feels like cashmere, my Spanx faux leather leggings, and my leopard mules.


Thursday we had two Thanksgivings to go to…
 The first one was with my dad’s side at my aunt’s house.


 We had dinner that night at my mom’s and stepdad’s house because it was also their 10 year anniversary!


For the past few years, my mom and I have shopped Black Friday together.  If you watched my IG stories, you saw that she had to stop around lunchtime and buy tennis shoes because Black Friday is not the time to wear cute flats 😂
 This was just part of our purchases!  We knocked out a ton of Christmas gifts (and may have bought a thing or two for ourselves…..)

There are zero pictures from Saturday because no one smiled during the Iron Bowl.  Next week I’ll have on my red and black rooting for GA to beat Auburn 😜

Sunday I went to church by myself because Dustin had to work.  
Side note:  I stopped by Starbucks after church to give the toasted white chocolate mocha a second chance.  Not a fan!  I was expecting something sweet like white hot chocolate and instead it’s bitter–anyone else had it and feel the same way I do?
 sweater on major sale! | skirt


After church I went to a surprise party for my best friend since 3rd grade–I cannot believe it’s been 20 years since we became best friends!!!  Does that make me feel old??  Yes, it does 😂  Here’s to our 30s being a fun decade!

Anyone waking up to shop Cyber Monday this year?  There are a few things I still need to buy for Christmas presents and I really hope prices didn’t go up today!


Linking up with Biana
