Friday Favorites

I know the blog has been a little more quiet than normal lately. I’m writing this post early and setting it to go live because, well…life is completely in limbo. We could have already welcomed our little girl into our arms or she could still be waiting to make her arrival at this point! Either way, here are some of my favorites from the week! 🙂 

One.

I took a break from Matcha Tea for a little bit because of not wanting to consume too much caffeine. But recently, I’ve been craaaaaving it. The health benefits are just an added bonus! I talked about Matcha Tea here almost exactly a year ago when I really started to like it and there’s this…

Two.…my Matcha Frappuccino!

Three.I recently bought this robe and cannot get enough of it. It is SO comfortable!

Four.Ladies…these pajamas are the softest thing ever! They are so soft, I actually bought the same pair in black and pink.

Five.

A three-day weekend with no plans in sight! Happy Friday!

For today, I thought I’d do something a little different and share some recipes that I have tried lately and added to my favorites list!

One.Iced Golden Milk Turmeric Latte from 40 Aprons. So tasty and amazing health benefits!

Two. Teriyaki Salmon with Peach Salsa from Grateful Prayer Thankful Heart. Lord knows I love a great salmon recipe!

Three.
Slow Cooker Butter Chicken from Becomingness. Hearty and easy, easy, easy to make! We even added this to our list of freezer meals. 

Four.

Mint Chocolate Coconut Truffles from Lauren’s Lovely Kitchen. I could eat the entire batch!

Five.Did you see I added a fun feature to my newest recipe? You can now print the recipes directly from my site. Also if you Pin it, it will break down the ingredients you need by category.

I also cannot stop snacking on this kind of granola! I’m obsessed. 

Follow me on Pinterest to grab some recipes that I’ve been pinning and have the best Friday! 🙂 Also, who thinks Baby Spring is going to arrive this weekend?

This week was a rollercoaster of emotions. It started off dreary and cold and ended up beautiful, sunny, and warm! I went from feeling great, to contractions and no sleep, to feeling great again. But hey, everyone is healthy and I’m thankful for that!

One.

I updated my shop page with some really random things that you have made an appearance on here before but have become staples in my life lately. I’ll be adding some more summer things over the next few weeks too! 🙂 Be sure to keep checking back!

I ordered this shampoo and conditioner because of their amazingly clean ingredients and cannot wait to try it! Has anyone tried this brand before?!

 

Three.

I’ve mentioned several times that I have really bad allergies. The combo of these three oils really has helped with this time of year where everything is in full bloom and allergies are wanting to go crazy!

Four.

I don’t think I’ve ever talked about these sheets before?! I just ordered another set because I love them so much. They are comfortable, great quality, and an even better price! (Even for our set of California King sheets since my husband is a giant).  🙂

Five.

Whenever I’m having a salad or something that requires dressing, I make it from scratch. It’s really easy and I know all the ingredients that go into it. Sometimes though, I just need a dressing made for me and different than I normally make. Primal Kitchen has really clean ingredients and is SO good! So when I found this at our local grocery store the other day, I was so excited! 🙂

I’m hoping your Friday (and weekend!) is sunny wherever you are! xo

One.

Baby Spring could be here any day, so I’m trying to savor the last few moments with my students. One of my very favorite projects each year is a Tangram Project we do. We read Grandfather Tang’s Story, talk all about the history of tangrams, and then they recreate the tangram figures throughout the story. It’s great geometry lesson and for spatial reasoning skills.

Two.

The sun was shining this week. THAT is a favorite! 🙂

Three.Do you guys remember these Peanut Butter Banana Blender Muffins from Seven Layer Charlotte forever ago?! I made them last week and forgot how easy and delicious they are!

Four.

When the baby comes I’m going to take a few weeks off from blogging. It may be more, it may be less, just depending how everything goes. But in the meantime, I have some guest posts that I am super excited for you to read as I soak in baby snuggles.

Five.

At our Baby Shower, they had thee cutest little setting at every single seat! Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of it but they had advice cards, baby predictions, and cake pops shaped into rattles. It was the cutest! Eric and I both loved going through all the advice and predictions. If you are a hosting a baby shower, these are a must-have! I linked a bunch for different types of showers! 🙂

 

Happy Friday friends!
