Friday Favorites

How is next week already February?! Time is flying and I’m trying to be as intentional I can about the time that’s passing! Here’s to some favorites this Friday and wishing you the best weekend! xo

 One.

How cute is this book? I picked it up the other day. It is so fun to flip through and a perfect coffee table book to peruse occasionally. 🙂

Two.

I love, love, love linen towels in the kitchen. I was mentioning to my best friend how I was on the search for one and could’t find one I liked. She opened a drawer and handed me one that is similar to both of these. 🙂

Three.

Your Italy advice last Friday was SO appreciated! I have been writing each and every suggestion down. Keep it coming! 🙂

Four.You need to try my Game Day Fries and Sauce here!

Five.

I’ve had a thing for white pitchers lately. I only have one right now I may order another in the near future. I love putting flowers in them and want to use one for some yummy drink creations. Which is your favorite?

 

Friday Favorites

This week was a short one but I’m always ready for a Friday! This weekend will involve a lot of odds and ends, dinner with friends, church and small group. 🙂 But first…

One.If you take a look at the top of my blog, you will see I added a, “SHOP” page. This will be a combination of things I am loving that week that I wanted to share with you. 🙂 I added some kitchen gadgets this week since I will be doing a lot of cooking and baking this weekend. It will range from beauty products to clothes, to decor or things I use in the kitchen. Be sure to check it out and shop around!

Two.

You can also find a drop-down menu under, “FOOD” now. 🙂 There may be a few glitches until it’s all worked out but most of the food should be categorized so it’s easier to find. Myself included. 😉

Three.

Since Friday Favorites happens every week, they got their own space also! You can find it under, “LIFESTYLE.”

Four.If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that we officially booked our trip to Italy! I am so excited it’s ridiculous! If you have ever been to Florence or Capri, send ideas and tips my way! 🙂

Five.Potato, Sausage, and Leek Soup--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.comI love my Potato, Sausage and Leek Soup! I also am a huge fan of cooking it in this!

Six.Last but not least, I’m a little obsessed with this water bottle. It will have you drinking more water in no time, which is always a good thing!

Happy Friday!

Friday Favorites + Homemade Croutons

We made it to Friday only because I’ve been drinking A LOT of this lately. 😉

One.

Banana Republic earrings are a favorite and something I went shopping for this week.

Two.On Monday it was extremely cold all day so we had my Easy Tomato Soup for dinner. Except this time, I made some homemade croutons to pair with it. I debated about sharing this because it’s nothing fancy or mind-blowing. But I will tell you, it added just the perfect amount of crunch and topping to an already tasty soup.Homemade Croutons--Recipe at: Stephanie-spring.com Homemade Croutons--Recipe at: Stephanie-spring.com

Homemade Croutons


 Ingredients: 

  • One baguette
  • EVOO (enough to coat the bottom of a pan)


What to do: 

In a large pan, lightly coat the bottom with EVOO on medium to medium-low heat. Cut the baguette into one inch pieces. Stir occasionally to avoid burning. Remove from heat and place desired amount on top of soup! 🙂


Three.On Wednesday, I mentioned how one of my New Years Goals is for some, “me” time and I want books as a part of that time. I need some recommendations though! I’ve talked about some of my favorite books here and here. I also mentioned a modge-podge here. Leave a comment and fill me in on your favorites! 🙂

Four.

Did someone say three day weekend? Thank you, Martin Luther King Jr. 🙂

Five.

You can find the winner of the $25 gift card to JORD watches, here!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope your weekend is relaxing and cozy!

Friday Favorites

First week back after the holidays: Done!

Riding the Friday wave into the weekend never felt so sweet. 🙂 Happy Friday everyone!

One.

The fact that I was able to sit down, drink my coffee, and just read on Monday morning was perfect before it was back to a routine.

Two.
I know I already expressed how much I loathe taking my make-up off at night. Well, this week I tried something a little different. Nothing like experimenting on my face, right? Ha! I used Aquaphor to remove my eye make-up, followed by my face cleanser. Then, I used diluted apple cider vinegar (half water, half apple cider vinegar) on one of these to get off the excess grime. The apple cider vinegar balances out your pH. I still use my Mia, just not on a daily basis. It has worked great and my face has been extremely clean and smooth all week! 🙂

Three.
My Bacon Chocolate Chip Pancakes!

Four.
Sometimes you just have to break out the shaving cream for math class. (Especially when they are calling for snow the next day and it’s the first week back from a long break)!

Five.

Remember how excited I got over Eric’s new watch? Well, THREE lucky winners will receive a $25 gift card to purchase a watch for yourself or a friend! Just enter below. The winner will be announced next Friday. Good luck! xo

Friday Favorites

This week has been the absolute best! We were busy seeing friends and family and also found just enough down time to rest and reenergize. To be honest, I don’t want it to end!

Nonetheless, it’s Friday and I have a lot of favorites to share with you.

Everyone went above and beyond with gifts this year. They were extremely thoughtful and fitting. Between a night away for Eric and I, and some date nights to local restaurants and wineries, I’d say our families know us well. There were of course some other goodies that are equally as sweet that I have been using all week long!

One.These socks are insanely comfortable and heavy-duty. They are also on sale right now, here! My Mom also got me some amazing fuzzy socks! You can never go wrong with socks!

Two.
I’m in love with my Wellies. 🙂

 Three.My family knows my love of blankets and I’ve talked about this specific blanket a lot! We own it in the coffee color. 🙂 Well…this year my sister-in-law made me a similar one. Yes, made it! It is so cozy and warm! I love it!

Four.I’ve been snuggled up and reading The Magnolia Story this week. 🙂

Five.

For Christmas this year, we bought my Mother-in-law a robe similar to this one. Little did I know I would be getting one in return! I have worn it every morning since unwrapping it. 🙂 You can find a similar here and here.

Have the best Friday and a Happy New Year! See you Monday!
