FRIDAY FAVORITES

HAPPY FRIDAY! 

I'm linking up with Mix & Match Mama, Erika, and Andrea for Friday Favorites!  

It's going to be a busy weekend around here, tomorrow (Saturday) I have a friend's baby shower and I will most definitely be rooting on my RED RAIDERS who are playing in the Big XII Championship against BYU. 

But First, here are my favorites for this week!!

(Pic borrowed from Google)

As I mentioned above the Texas Tech RED RAIDERS are playing in the Big XII Championship game at the Dallas Cowboys stadium! WRECK'EM!

I first saw this sherpa vest on Shay (Mix and Match Mama)(she has it in the tan version).  I ordered it during Thanksgiving and got it in on Monday and wore it on Tuesday and oh my gosh its so soft and I know I'll be wearing it a lot this winter. You can find it here. 

My next favorite is from Touchland.  I love this hand santizer/hair mist/body mist.  It smells so good! 

I didn't take pictures but hanging out with my bible study group/friends on Wednesday night is certainly and always a favorite of my week! My cup definitely gets filled with these people!! I'm so proud to call them my friends!!

Lastly but certainly not least is I'm supposed to be getting my One Thing I Ask For prayer journal in the mail later today from Hosana Revival as I mentioned in my post from Sunday.

Those are my favorites from this week! 

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". Jeremiah 29:11

Have a great weekend and I will see you next week for a full week of posts!  If you have a suggestion or idea please drop a comment!! 

My Favorite Things | Recent Finds

Hello! 

It's been a minute since I've blogged. 

I thought I'd restart this whole journey in blog world and share some of my recent favorites/recent finds! 

#1

Mr. Pen pens. I love that these come in all sorts of color variations (including highlighters) and how they write. I use these pens for my daily use at work or in my bible. The cost of them is not too shabby either! 

#2 

 I could not not include Hosanna Revival  as my next FAV! This brand of bibles, prayer journals, devotionals, notebooks, etc. are absolutely beautiful. If you're looking to grow your relationship in Christ or need a new bible, I would highly, highly recommend these! They also come in different translations CSB, ESV, NLT. 

                                                                           

#3

If you enjoy watching YouTube.  My next favorite is watching Ashley Hetherington. She also has The Honey Scoop. She also has a podcast Sweet to the Soul. You can listen to this podcast anywhere including YouTube.

#4

         Happy Planners. 

These notebooks are great for anything you want to use it for!  From writing down sermon notes to scripture to prayer requests! There are also plain notebooks which you can find here! 

This will conclude my favorite recent finds!

FOOD: Hanger Bombs

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great weekend! 

On today's post, I wanted to share a simple recipe from Katie Dunlop of Love Sweat Fitness, you probably have read recent posts on her, you can check out her website here! 

I had seen this dessert recipe but decided to make it last night and oh my goodness, if you're trying to be healthy but want a little something, this will satisfy that sweet tooth! 

RECIPE:

• 1 cup almond butter
• 1/2 cup caco butter
• 2 tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa 
• 2 tbsp monkfruit sweetener (optional...I personally did not use this but I will next time I make these)
• 1/4 cup chia seeds/hemp seeds  

DIRECTIONS: 

Add cocoa butter to a small saucepan over low-medium heat  and begin adding the almond butter and monk fruit if using. Let them melt together while stirring occasionally.  

Mix all ingredients in a medium size bowl except for the toppings and scoop them in a muffin tin and add toppings and you got yourself a yummy dessert! You can store these in the freezer. If already frozen let them sit for a few minutes! 

I hope you give these hanger bombs a try! They're so delicious! 

You can also find many more recipes in Katie's Guiltless Nutrition Guide and her Hot Body Meal Plan, you can find these on her website!! 

XO, Have an awesome week and see you back here tomorrow! 

FAVORITE BLOGGERS

Each Tuesday,  I'm sharing my favorites! 

This Tuesday, I'm sharing my favorite bloggers!! 

My top favorite, the one that I read every single morning is Mix & Match Mama's.  Shay, posts about her family, cooking, entertainment, sports, traveling and everything in between. 

My next favorite is actually her best friend Erika's blog A Little Bit of Everything and she also posts about her family, sports, her home, etc.  

They both cover a little bit of everything!! 

I love Katie Harrell of Mumu and Macaroons! I love how raw and real she is as well as her love of fashion and decorating and everything like that!!  

This post is very short, but I only listen to a handful of podcasts. 

I hope all of you have a great day!!!

Podcasts I Listen Too

 Podcasts I'm Listening Too

On today's blog, I'm going to share some of my favorite podcasts I'm listening too! Some are faith based and some are just for fun!! 

Speaking of podcasts, I recently shared that I was excited for In Joy Life w/ Mattie Jackson - Selecman. Today, she launched and the shows are absolutley great! On her first two episodes she has Annie F. Downs and she also has Shawn Johnson - East and Andrew East on! If you want to know more about Mattie just click here .

Another one I'm listening too is The Bible Recap with Tara Leigh Cobble. I have always wanted to read the Bible in a year, so 2023 is going to be the year I do it!!!

I'm not sure if they're coming back for another season in 2023, but I enjoyed listening to The Bestie Breakdown with Shay Shull and Erika Slaughter. They are from the McKinney, Texas area and just fun!!  You might know Shay as Mix & Match Mama (her blog). 

These podcasts are my favorites right now, but I've listened to Couple Things with Shawn Johnson - East and Andrew East, I think I would like to start listening to the She Reads Truth podcast, and I saw this on Sarah Shaneyfelt's blog She Wakes Up at 5 am, so I think I'm going to give that one a try too!! 

What are your favorite podcasts?! 

Next Tuesday, I'm sharing My Favorite Bloggers! So come back for that!! 

Amazon Haul

 

Happy Monday! I hope you enjoyed your weekend!!! I had a relaxing one!! I watched the Kansas City Chiefs game and not much else!! 

I thought for this Monday, I would share some of the things I've purchased on Amazon or will in the future!! 

I ordered French Girl mint bath salts (I love anything mint) along with Herbivore CALM bath salts and Herbivore Coconut bath soak. 

                                                  I can not wait to relax in a bath!! 

I will order this in the near future, I love a good moisturizing face mask

I'm also wanting to get a new kettle and this one has caught my eye...I first saw Katie Dunlop of Love Sweat Fitness use one similar and well...I wouldn't mind trying it out!!!

I also saw this in a giveaway package that Mattie Jackson - Selecman was doing and I can't wait to order this Voluspa candle - this would be a great Valentine's Day gift to your friends!!

I actually think that any of these products from Amazon would be great Valentine's Day gifts to your sister, daughter or friend!! 

That is all I have for today!! Hope y'all have a great week!!
