FRIDAY FAVORITES...I LOVE COFFEE EDITION

Ok friends, my Favorite time of the year and the yucky weeks keep on coming, I continue to be wrongly blocked on Insta, but.....this week,

the weather was absolute perfection and still warm enough to get in the pool and I had a couple days of pumpkin and mum picking! Yesterday with my mama...more on that next Friday! They are gracing my garage because tomorrow is pumpkin porch decorating day and I cannot wait to share it with you soon! Now, while you read this I’ll be grabbing some yummy coffee. I hope you enjoy this coffee edition of Friday Favorites!

1. Coffee for You and Me

Coffee Lovers Rejoice. There is nothing like a good cup of Coffee, especially in the cooler months. I absolutely love giving Coffee as Gifts. Adda Coffee House has the perfect gifts for the
Coffee Lovers and Tea Lovers too in your life!

Adda has a commitment to source the best possible coffees and teas from around the world and bringing them to you and to those you love!

And Hello, Adda even has a Coffee and Chocolate Subscription that would be a spot-on spectacular gift for coffee lovers. I recently got their Conversation Blend and it is so yummy and aromatic! I love the little treats they offer too!

2. Family Dinner and Skip-Bo

We sure did luck out and got to have a family dinner on Friday night minus one. Been missing these kids so much so it was great to have laughs at quality time together. We had a great dinner where I made a chicken crescent ring, Mexican roasted corn with Cotija cheese, loaded baked potato salad and for dessert we had Reese’s brownies and my cherry delight, of which half I made with a peach topping.

Some serious rounds of Skip-Bo went down as well!

FRIDAY FAVORITES....HEY JUNE

Happy, yes HAPPY Friday my beautiful babes! So glad we made it through this week, but I have to say hey hey June, slow down, let’s not let summer go too fast. Indiana is set for a beautiful stretch of weather, not overly hot and I’m going to soak up every last second of it! Hope it’s going to be a good weekend for you all! Let’s get to Friday favorites and to enjoying this summer weekend ahead!

1. Outside Time

This past weekend was absolutely gorgeous but strangely, I was in a really weird depressed funk! Mr. Nine to the rescue with his suggestion that we finally, after two years of living in our new house, kayak the river that runs behind us! It was the perfect day to kayak, the river was flowing swiftly, and we saw so much gorgeous scenery. Now, we did ditch early because we got out at the wrong park and I did run into a set of logs while trying to turn around, but my man pulled me out and our son came to pick us up to load up the kayaks! We Will be kayaking all Summer long.

Then it was a little pool time and some evening fishing! None of us caught anything except for Mr. Nine and his catches kept getting bigger, LOL!

2. The YETI Bartender

"PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE MARTINI"

With that posting last Friday, I have two YETI Bartender videos to share and they are my best yet! I hope you will check both of them out. This first one is a Pineapple Upside Down Martini that I first had on a family vacation. I knew I would want to replicate it but it’s been several years now and I finally did it and oh am I happy with the results! It is definitely my prettiest cocktail!

"KEY LIME MARTINI"

The second one is my favorite martini of all time! The Key Lime Martini! I made this extra special by making it in a giant martini glass. This is the same glass that my mom handed me a Key Lime Martini in at my 40th birthday party many moons ago! I have been waiting to make this one for so many years and it turned out divine!

What do Fridays and tassels make me feel? TOTALLY FESTIVE! Mint Julep Boutique does it again! I just took these pictures yesterday and wore this top to 2 stores and I got three compliments including the mail bagger at the grocery store! It feels so good on, fits great and it’s going on beach vacation with me!

SOCIETY SOCKS

My love for Society Socks just got even bigger! I received these gorgeous socks in the mail this week I was overjoyed that it included the striped pair for women! Even has my favorite pink. And you know I may need these Pineapple Socks! What I love about this Society Socks is their commitment to community and giving back! For every pair of socks your purchase, they donate a pair to those in need! Their Monthly Subscription, where you receive two pairs of socks each month, is so much fun! And then, just like that, 2 additional pairs are donated! Their custom designs are absolutely darling and my boys and Mr. Nine love the quality and comfort of their socks and the no slip cuffs are a huge winner! Just look how cute the men’s pair is with the little astronauts on them! Perfect timing for our launch of American astronauts back into space! Check them out HERE

TRADER JOES TRIP

As you may have seen in my Instagram stories, I made the trip up to Trader Joe’s for the first time this year and I have to say I was so impressed! I was probably only one of about a dozen people in there! They didn’t have everything I was looking for, but I certainly was happy with what I came home with! Here are a few things that are new to me and I can already tell you that the little coconut wafers and coconut cashews are out of this world delicious and will be on my repeat list!

so good!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...JANUARY BLUES BE GONE

I’m extra happy to see Friday because that means we’re getting through this longest month of the year faster. With all the boys back at school, life feels somewhat more subdued, but I miss them so much and I’m in that after holiday slump. We cannot let these January blues get us down, so let’s get right to some Friday Favorites.

1. My Boys

Not only are the holidays magical but they’re so joyous when I can have all my boys at home and really enjoy the time together. We taught them how to play rummy, had movie days, fun dinners out and lots of family time. It was great!

2. No Carb Snack
"Homemade Cheez-Its"

Easiest no carb snack in the world! Get the ultra thin cheese slices, any flavor, I used Colby Jack, cut them into fours and place them on parchment paper lined baking sheet. I add a little coarse sea salt on top. Bake in a 250° oven for 25 to 30 minutes and wa-la, you have homemade cheez it’s crackers with no carbs!

3. Week's Attire

Top HERE // Jeans HERE & HERE //
Boots HERE & HERE

I shared this outfit on Instagram earlier this week, but I had to share it here, the leopard colors of the sweater are just so divine, and a perfect winter pick me up. And Mint Julep boutique, where the sweater is from, is offering $10 off your order. See below.

(BONUS: For $10 off your order from Mint Julep Boutique..Text the word MINT to 90243)

4. Blue and Black

If January gives you the blues, just wear a bright blue color to lift your spirits! I totally love the bright royal blue. I feel it flatters every skin tone. In the summer, I like to pair it with white, but I thought it would be fun to pair it with black in the winter. I’ve seen lots of black and blue outfits and I love them. I also love adding a little leopard.

POSTS OF THE WEEK QUEST BARS

Wednesday ~ Yumi Kim for the Win

QUEST BARS
So, I am not a big bar girl. I feel like they are loaded with junk and empty calories even though they are supposed to be healthy. However, there are a few out there that I like when I need a protein pick me up And I don’t want to feel too guilty for indulging. My niece and I got to talking about protein bars and she recommended this chocolate sprinkle doughnut one. She said to heat it up in the microwave a tiny bit and it will be like dessert. It was super yummy, and I will be stocking up on these. I also tried a Pure Protein Chocolate Salted Caramel that Lisa recommended and think I may even like that one better.
