Happy Friday! This has been another great week! The weather felt like summer which always makes me happy. I have some favorites to share, so let’s get to it!

Favorite 1: SUNSHINE AND BOOKS!! I didn’t mention it this week, but my 7 year blog anniversary was this week. On October 21, 2017, I published my first post – Here I Am! I didn’t write another post until November 8th and only wrote a few more posts in 2017. I am so glad I stuck with it! In those 7 years, I published 1,183 posts. Whoa! I have made so many fun blogger friends and have learned a lot from all of you! Thank you blogging community! I am so grateful for our friendships over the past 7 years! ❤️☀️❤️
Favorite 2: SUNSHINE!! Oh my goodness! This weather has been a HUGE favorite! The sun is shining and it is so warm! I have done everything in my power to get outside and soak it up! I read, ran, walked, cooked, decorated, and relaxed outside this week. I had parent teacher conferences last night and I signed up to man the door early so I could enjoy the sunshine! I took my book out there and read while greeting parents.


I saw this meme and am so happy to be in 3rd summer.

Favorite 3: BOOKS! I finished two books in one day this week. That is a great day! Luke and I finished the Spy School book we were listening to and I finished the book I was reading on my kindle. My book had me shedding a few tears at soccer practice in a good way. I’m sharing my reading update on Tuesday so be sure to come back then. I’ve been reading a great book with some classes at school this week. Acorn Was a Little Wild by Jen Arena is so good! It’s funny and has some information about the life cycle of an oak tree. Kindergarteners and 2nd graders are loving it!
Favorite 4: CLOTHES! I have been loving my outfits this week. I wore this set on Tuesday. It is so comfy!


I wore these golf pants on Monday and they are so comfortable. They have some stretch but hold their shape all day.

I ordered these joggers when Amazon was having a sale and I am so glad I did. I haven’t worn them out of the house yet, but I can’t wait to!
I bought this lady jacket in July during Prime Days and just wore it for the first time this week. It is so soft and comfy. There was a 50% off coupon on this black and white one when I checked it Thursday evening. I might pick up the pink and green one because it was so easy to wear!

Favorite 5: GRILLING! With this great weather, I changed our meal plan this week to use the grill. I grilled salmon on Monday and burgers on Wednesday. Both were so yummy!

Hello Monday
Wednesday Hodgepodge
We have a bunch going on this weekend, but it is all good stuff! Jack has two golf tournaments and Luke is going to open house for high school next year. I am hoping to get a few things done around the house and carve pumpkins. I didn’t get my grocery pickup done this week, so I might attempt one on Saturday morning. Have a great weekend full of sunshine and books!

Lovin’ your fall outfits!
We are having the most fabulous weather this month! It looks to continue into next week! So welcome following the hurricane. Have a great sunny weekend!
Happy anniversary to your blog! The blogging community is such an amazing thing, I really do appreciate all the friends that I have made through it.
What fab outfits, I almost bought an almost identical stripy cardigan today but then remembered that I am trying not to spend money this month. I hope it’s still there in November.
