FRIDAY FAVORITES...2022 I SEE YOU

Thank you already ready to 2022 for not being too bad. Here’s hoping it’s a fantastic year ahead. It has to be! I’ve actually got all my Christmas down much earlier than normal. Took me days and hours kids as you know how much I put up. At least I was able to wrap some of those trees (see my Monday post). There are two outside wreaths left on the high dormers but that’s because only one of our sons can get them down and he has not been here plus it’s been cold and icy. I was happy to see the snow this week and happy to share the first Friday Favorites of the year!


1. Pretty Earrings

It’s no secret I love my sweet stud earrings! I just may have gotten some new earrings for Christmas, and you cannot beat all these darling styles! Always the best in jewelry options, cute trends for 2022 and timeless classics! It's never too early tp think about Valentine's day too. It will be here before we know it. Stud earrings always make such a great gift because they can be worn for everyday. I LOVE them!

Which of these 4 do you like the best?



2. Betty White
I literally shed a tear or two when I heard the news last Friday. The last day of 2021 and the year just had to throw us one last gut punch! 17 days away from her 100th birthday and one of the sweetest and funniest ladies in Hollywood that all of us could relate to! At least she’s reunited with her amazing husband who, after his death in 1981, she never remarried and her crew from the Golden Girls, The last one of them to Grace heaven!

4. Most Creative Gift

One of our sons and his girlfriend wanted outdoor furniture but with winter in Indiana, it really wasn’t something we wanted to get, and we wanted them to be able to pick it. I came up with the idea of getting unfinished wood dollhouse furniture from Hobby Lobby, putting it in a box and securing it down with glue dots and then under the rug putting the money! Huge hit and I pat myself on the back for coming up with that one all by myself, lol

LULULEMON BAG

I just love Lululemon. One of our son’s and his girlfriend’s got me this cute Everywhere Bag. It will be great for running around and my walk-n-talks. My phone fits in it perfectly too. These come in lots of colors, I love the light pink too.

GINGERBREAD HOUSES

Last year we decorated cookies and this year I decided to do group gingerbread houses. I bought some big ones already put together at Target and got all the fixings to decorate. I even did a poll which was the favorite on Instagram. I think they all turned out so equally cute!

You can still get these Pre-Packaged Houses HERE.

  2. The patio furniture gift is cute as can be! We took down our Christmas decorations last weekend. It is always sad to see them go, but nice to reclaim the space. I do miss drinking my coffee by the lights of the Christmas tree. Enjoy your weekend, Andrea!

  5. I was devastated when I saw the news about Betty White, too. I literally teared up. She was such a wonderful woman and she was so well loved. We should all strive to be more like her!

  19. Betty White...such tragic and heart punching news, and now Bob Saget! I'm a kid who grew up on Full House and Americas Funniest Home videos, so this one hit hard for me too. First Americas Grandma, now Americas Dad...2022 better turn things around quick! xo
