Happy Friday! We made it through our first five day week of school!! I am excited to share some favorites with you today, so let’s get to it!

Favorite 1: ANNIE!! And ZACH!! Happy birthday to my sister Annie! Today is the start of our week. For one week each year we are the same age and this is it! I am so grateful for my amazing sister every single day!

And guess what, her husband has the same birthday!! So happy birthday to Zach, too! We are so glad you’ve joined our family.

Favorite 2: JMU!! We had the best time at JMU this weekend. I love every time I step foot on that campus. I had the best four years, made amazing friends, and wouldn’t trade it for the world. It was so fun to go back and cheer on the Dukes!

Favorite 3: SUNSHINE!! I spent Thursday afternoon reading on my deck. We are hosting the author of The Midnight Children at school today and this book is so good! The weather was perfect on Thursday afternoon with full sunshine and a little breeze.

Favorite 4: GETTING DRESSED!! As much as I love my summer rotation of pjs, bathing suits, and workout clothes, I am am enjoying getting dressed for work every day. I love my necklaces and bracelets and it’s fun to wear dress up clothes.

Favorite 5: SUNDAYS!! We love NFL Sundays at our house. The Red Zone is on all afternoon and we all cycle through watching tv, being outside, and maybe even napping.

Favorite 6: BOYS AND THEIR SPORTS!! Luke’s soccer season is in full swing and he is loving it! I took Jack to the driving range this week because he has his first tournament this weekend. It makes my heart so happy to watch my boys do things they love!

Favorite 7: SALES!! I have been waiting for weeks for the Lilly End of Summer sale and it hit this week. I did really well in the sale and can’t wait for my packages to start arriving!

Favorite 8: EXERCISE!! I am loving getting back into my school year exercise routine. I’ve been working out in my basement gym and enjoying walks outside in the sunshine.

Hello Monday
Not Just A Mom – My Favorite Places to Exercise

I have very few commitments this weekend. I have a big list of things I want to get done around the house. The weather looks AMAZING so it’s going to be hard to be inside so much. We’ll see how it goes. Have a great weekend full of sunshine and books!
