Friday Favorites

First, I know it’s not like me to go this long without responding to comments because I truly love hearing from each and every one of you! The last few weeks have seemed to pile up and I’ve really tried to be intentional about being in the moment and slowing down. So much easier said than done, right? But I’m trying. This week was filled with so many warm, fuzzy moments. I’m so thankful for positive doctor reports, all the people I celebrated my birthday with, near and far, and for an 80 degree day for my birthday! I considered it a present from God himself. 😉 Thank you to each and every reader for taking some time to stop by this space. I promise I will be responding so soon! 😉 Now….onto my favorites for this Friday!

One.I got these boots this week and I’m kind of obsessed with them. They’re kind of out of the norm for me and I think that makes me love them even more!

Here are some other beauties!

This is one of my favorite colors for the fall…. 🙂

An extrememely sweet co-worker made me peppermint brownies for my birthday! I think I died and went to heaven. They were AMAZING!

Four. 

All the birthday love. 🙂

Five.

We are having a “Spook-tacular” luncheon for the teachers on Halloween and I was in charge of decorations this year. Although Halloween is not my favorite, it was so fun picking out a few “spooky” things! 😉

And here’s to the perfect rainy day song…I’m not really a fan of the video but the song is a good one. 😉

I’m linking up with Erika, NarciAndrea, Tif, April, and Karli!

Happy Friday! xo

Stranded + Halloween Candy

This topic is perfect for today since it is one of my very best friend’s birthday who has a major sweet tooth. So, Happy Birthday Madds, this post is for you. 😉

Only being able to bring three kinds of candy if I were stranded on an island with Erika and Shay was a tough decision. I go through phases of loving some flavors more than others but if you’ve followed along with some of my recipes lately, peanut has definitely been in the mix. Therefore two of my candy choices consist of just that! Kit Kat, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, and Take 5’s would be my top 3 favorites that I would bring along! I would love to fill this candy jar to the brim with all of them! I also love these to have year round! While you’re eating some of your favorite candy, nothing beats your home smelling festive with this or this throughout the day as well. 😉

Last but note least, today is the last day to enter this giveaway to make something fun for you and your family! What is your favorite Halloween candy?! Happy Wednesday!
