FRIDAY FAVORITES....GET IT IN GEAR

January is swinging right along and we finally got a little bit of snow this week! That weatherman was so so off as he was predicting a much harsher winter and so far, I consider most of it being more like late Fall! I know I’m crazy but I love a harsh snowy winter! I want to wear the Teddy Coat I showed you on Wednesday more too. Hope you have had a great week. I am kind of finding it hard to come up with Friday Favorites now that the holidays are done, the holidays always bring a bevy a favorite ideas. I’ve been decluttering and purging most of the week and working out a lot. Tomorrow we’re buzzing down for a day trip to Purdue to have lunch with our next birthday boy! I hope this January weekend is as sweet as can be for you!

1. Family Dinner
I know I shared some of these pictures on Instagram but I just had to share our last little family dinner before the two oldest headed back to college last weekend. Missing our youngest here but Ruth Chris never disappoints and it’s the only time a year I ever eat a steak and that filet was so worth it!

We get lots of sides but the shoestring fries are always a must and the Pomegranate Martinis were sensational!



2. Daisy
I’ve neglected to share much lately about our other family member, our precious Daisy Mae. She turns 14 years old this month. Boy was this girl happy we got some snow this week. I took this picture on yesterday after she came in. She literally has snow all over her. She just loves rolling around in it. When the boys were little I would make them hot chocolate after they came in but Daisy just got a special treat instead.

4. Black Swiss Dot Dress
Nothing like a sweet little black DRESS and boy did I get a deal on this one at the Loft when they have their 50% off! It was only $35. I love Swiss dots and you may not be able to tell in this picture but matte dots are so stinking cute as are the little flutter ruffle sleeves. As you can see, I wore it for last Friday's dinner.

5. Misc. Fun
Anthropologie Candle
While I love B&B candles, Anthropologie ones are some of my favorites. My sweet sister-in-law, Beth got me one of my favorites for Christmas which is the Whipped Cream & Pear!. It smells so good when you walk in that store or our house, lol! The Jars are so pretty too. Did you know these are named after French Desserts?

Mini Tobacco Basket 
Just love this little tobacco basket ornament that my sweet friend LISA got me. I transitioned it from a Christmas basket as seen in the bottom picture to an everyday sweet little tobacco basket that I made a homemade spring wreath for and it is setting on my tiered tray. I’ll show you more in an upcoming post on how I decorated the tray for every day. I thought I may only use it at the holidays but it’s so much fun that I’m going to have to keep it out all year long.

My ornament originally says Noel but I failed to take a picture of it before I transitioned it. All I did was placed a piece of white card stock on top of it and added the wreath and ribbon. 

Book Update....Verity
5/5 stars!
On Monday I talked about the things I recently got from Amazon and this book, Verity, was one of them. Well, I read it this week and let me tell ya, hold on tight, such a good read. Read it asap, best book I have read in a long time!

Feeling Ageless
And Finally, I put this on my Insta stories this week but I just love it because I know we are all trying to tackle the year as healthy as we can be and inside I still feel like a young girl and I hope you all do too! 

HAVE THE BEST WEEKEND SWEET FRIENDS
AND HOPE YOU'RE GETTING IT IN GEAR!

AMAZON.....WHAT I GOT

I am so excited to share with you some of the gifts I got from Amazon. I realize I often show you things I’ve bought or gifts I’ve gotten for others but how fun to share with you some of the things people got me in addition to the holiday dresses I bought. Plus, I was excited to link this up with Tanya's Amazon Prime Link-Up this week. I love each and every one of these "9" items!

1. Dresses
This first one is the two dresses I got for the Holiday season. Last Wednesday, I showed you my Candy Cane Dress and how cute is this one? Although the son who took this photo said I looked like I was going to a funeral, lol. This is also a shout out to Tanya  as she got the same one and looked gorgeous! You cannot beat the prices of these fabulous dresses and they do not look or feel cheap at all. I’m sold!

2. Tunic
OK, how cute is this Tunic? I wore this with leggings on Christmas Day and I just love the hood and buffalo plaid at the bottom of the sleeves as well. It’s super soft and comes in some other prints.

3. It's a 10 Conditioner
I have been loving the Leave-In Spray and just knew I’d love this after seeing it on Gina's Blog. So, Mr. Nine came thru with the BIG bottle.

4. ChopStir
How funny is this, my mom and I got each other the exact same ChopStir spatula. She had already gotten one for herself to so I told her to save the one I got her as a gift. I haven’t used it yet but tomorrow is Taco Tuesday so it just might be in use!

5. Pullover
I had gotten this Pullover in the black and absolutely fell in love with it for throwing on quick to run errands. So, I told Mr. Nine, I wanted to more colors. Here is the Navy and He also got me the cream with pink which I cannot wait to wear!

6. Verity
I am so excited to read this. It is not very often that you see a book with so many five-star reviews. This is going to be my first book of 2019!

I had been wanting a little remote-control tripod for my phone to help with outfit pictures and Mr. Nine got me the perfect one!

BUY TRI-POD HERE


I have had many phone cases but the Sonix Limited Release Pineapple One is my favorite. They no longer had them several places but when mine recently cracked, of course, Amazon had it. I had to get a new phone as my camera went bad. Not liking too much change, I went from the 7plus to the 8plus (no way did I want a 10 with no stinking home button) and now have a brand-new case to go with it. Thanks my Mr.

This Selfie Light Ring is so Flippin cool and another great gift from Mr. Nine! You put it on your phone and it has three levels of lighting to help with a better selfie! Or just better lighting in general for photographs. Here it is along with two photos I took with it attached to my phone.

AND Have Your"SELF" a FABULOUS DAY!!!
