Friday Favorites

Happy Friday how has your week been? I have a few favorites to share with you this week and I am saving the best for last.

Have you tried these little Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream treats? They are so yummy and only 130 calories for each one. These make a great little snack if you are watching calories and just want a small treat.

I got this light for Christmas. I use it so much. When I am knitting or reading a book I sometimes need a little extra light. My husband likes our house dark at night with no lights on, especially when he is watching TV. I sometimes like to read or knit while we are watching TV and this light is great. I got this at Amazon and I think it was about $19.99.

Look what is blooming. Whenever I see these bloom I know that it is not long until spring will be here. We always called them Easter Flowers in my family because they always grow around Easter time.

Beautiful Wild Daffodil

I also got these shoes for Christmas but I’ve only worn them a few times. These are the Vintage Havanas. They are sort of a knock off from the Golden Goose sneakers which are around $500.00 and, an amount of money I refuse to spend for sneakers. I have heard the Golden Goose shoes are not very comfortable. Oh but these Havanas are so comfy. These are slip on and I can wear them all day and they feel great. These were around $100.00 so a fraction of the cost for the Golden Goose sneakers.

I love Valentine’s Day. I bought these earrings last year. I wear them throughout the year but they are especially good for Valentine’s Day.

Last year I sewed these little cloth hearts. I put them in a large clear vase and I put them out again this year for Valentine’s Day. These are really easy to see. If you want to see how I did them just check out this post from last year, here

I made chocolate chip cookies a couple of nights ago. I decided to save half of the cookie dough for another time. This way we only have a few cookies at a time. I took most of these to work with me for my coworkers.

But the best thing this week was that today my sister Sandy had her second round of Chemo and she did great!!! Her bloodwork was really good and had improved from last week. And she was able to walk into the hospital instead of using her wheelchair. Small and yet massive steps for her. Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes for her and please keep them coming.

What favorites have you had this week.

Hello Monday

Hello and how was your weekend? On Saturday I went to Athens with my friend Kathy. We went to Dollar Tree and to our favorite Chinese restaurant. I was looking for a few things for Valentine’s Day crafts that I am working on. I also went over to see my sister and picked up some groceries for her. She is doing great!!! She has another treatment on Friday but she is much stronger than she was going into the first treatment.

On Sunday I did laundry and put out a few Valentine’s Day decorations. I don’t decorate a lot but I do like to add a few. After that it was a lazy day. I did laundry and watched a couple of movies and then went for a short walk and played with the outside kitties. It was a nice sunny day and it felt great outside. The kitties thought so too.

Shady Sadie she is always on the go.
Allie Cat aka the mama kitty. She is mama to Sadie and Izzy
Sweet Izzy.
Gus, living his best life. He loves to be spoiled.
And Kitty Kitty the one who first made me a kitty mama.

So a fairly uneventful and quiet weekend and that is just fine with me. How was your weekend?

Always remember

Love your day your way!!!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday!!!! I am so glad today is Friday. It has not been a bad week but I am just glad to be off from work for a couple of days.

The first thing today that is a favorite is that the sun is finally shining. It’s still cold but with the sunshine it makes it feel so much better.

I have to show you this weekender bag I bought a couple of weeks ago. I first saw it on TikTok. It is from Target and it was sold out for a few weeks. I was finally able to order it and I got it in just in time to take on my North Carolina trip. It is big and soft and it holds a lot of stuff. It was $40.00 and totally worth it. It makes a great overnight or weekend bag.

You can see from this picture it is a great size.

Remember the Valentine wreath I made a few weeks ago? I just wasn’t happy with it. I felt like the two reds sort of clashed. So I painted another heart white and added these hearts I already had. I think it looks so much better. I put the other red heart in an inside door.

This was the first one. See too much red on red.
I like this one much better. What do you think?

Keeping up with my word of the year, Celebrate, we celebrated my nieces Birthday last night at our favorite local Mexican Restaurant. It was a lot of fun. We were sad because my sister couldn’t join us. She is going through chemo and has to be really careful about being out and about. But she will be back with us soon.

Birthday Girl!!!
Spending time with family is my favorite of all.

I don’t always like Danielle Steels’ books but I just finished this one and it was really good. I would definitely recommend this one. Invisible.

Another thing I would highly recommend, and I may have already, these Universal Thread jeans from Target. I order the high rise, which I swore I would never like but I love them, and they fit so nice and comfy. I have two pairs and I could wear them every day.

So that is my favorites for this week. What have you been loving? have a wonderful weekend.

Always remember

Love your day your way!!!
