Yesterday I turned 45, had a lovely day date with my husband, then came home to tidy up and prep for the Halloween chaos. There was candy and rain and mud and hot dogs and football in the driveway. Thankful for all the friends and family I was able to hug and for a very chill day today to recover. Instead of sharing life lessons (like I planned) a list of favorite things seemed much more in line with my mood today. Hope you find something fun below!
FRIDAY FAVORITES 11.1.24
- Making homemade tortillas and these Mediterranean bowls.
- School drop offs in this fleece jacket (the hood is a must!).
- Finishing my workouts with an ab circuit (toe taps, roman twists, pilates bicycles, flutter kicks, ankle taps — end with plank hold)
- Sweatshirt (love this one, sized up!) paired with something more fancy like a chunky pair of earrings, a skirt or tailored pants, ballet flats, or booties. (outfit details in pic linked here)
- Been watching The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix with Johan and thankful for a show we both enjoy, lol!
- Praying and thinking of this scripture during the last few days of the election – “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” – Amos 5:24 (taken from The Girl Named Blake)
- Thinking of making my own sourdough starter… should we do it together?
- Working on my diy nail routine and the girls have gotten into it too. Mostly using Olivia & June and a homemade cuticle oil. Will share soon!
- Trying to keep my blood sugar balanced throughout the day and as a perpetual snacker, it can be a real struggle so keeping these things on hand to grab: grapefruit (citrus fruits), eggs, berries, nut butter, almonds, avocado, chia seeds (try this pudding), leafy greens (arugula is usually my go to), cinnamon.
- Added a bedtime tea to my nightly rituals and it makes me feel like a grandma in the best way. A great way to unwind without feeling drowsy.

P.S. – Working on setting up a substack (it’ll be free) to make sharing and emails more streamlined and consistent with my social media presence too. Hopefully by Monday, but stay tuned!
