Friday Favorites
A three day weekend is on it’s way…so that takes the cake for my number one favorite this week! Also, we only have four and half days of school left…which means I get to take a more serious (and closer) look at my Summer Bucket List! I cannot wait! There are definitely a lot of other goodies on my list this week though and I could really use your opinions!
Two.Last weekend we headed to VA to help Marian (Miss Mustard Seed) at Lucketts Spring Market. I felt so blessed to be able to go on this trip to experience all it had to offer. It is held at a fairgrounds with live music, yummy food vendors, and more than 200 Vintage Vendors on the East Coast. One of Marian’s readers offered their Bed and Breakfast (Zion Springs) to her and the people helping her out. It was SO gorgeous! I’m ready to go back in a heartbeat! It had beautiful land and the sweetest owners ever! Seriously, they are so gifted in hospitality. The breakfast and everything was top notch and I felt like I was in a little dream world staying there.
The entire weekend was so fun! Marian recapped her time here, here, and here! I also posted a few more pictures from the weekend, here!
Three.
Last week, I was talking to one of my student’s parents. She was telling me all about the author, Charles Martin and how much she loves him. She spoke so highly about his writing style and stories. I’m thinking of adding some of his books to my list for the summer. Has anyone read them?
Four.
Thursday was a rough day at work. I took one big sigh of relief when I hopped into the car on my way home because I was headed to get a massage. Lord knew I needed one! There you have number 4!
Five.
I debated whether to post about this because I couldn’t decide if I really should splurge and get one. I haven’t looked into Apple Watches a lot but I am looooving what I’m hearing and I really think I’m in store for a new watch. 😉 I’m thinking it would be ideal to have before Italy since it serves so many purposes! My questions for you are:
1. What do you know about the product? Comment with the good, the bad, and the ugly.
and….
2. Which style and color do you like best from below?
Happy Friday AND Memorial Day weekend everyone! xo

I love my Apple Watch so much. I ordered the Gold one with a cocoa sport watch band but then changed to a gold one that I got on Amazon to look more professional for work. When I see them around, I think the Rose Gold is the prettiest. My three favorite things are holding it up to the Starbucks window to have my card scanned; talking into it to answer texts and emails (feels like Inspector Gadget); and checking onto planes with just the watch! And, oh yea, I track my steps too. I very much enjoyed “Long Way Gone” by Charles Martin and plan to read some more.

I love your comparison to Inspector Gadget! Such great features…you’re convincing me! 😉

I have an apple watch and I love it.. I sync up with my friends who also have an apple watch and its a good motivator for me to get moving!! I actually have the rose gold one- but swiped out the band for a grey one that I got from a friend, but I know there are numerous options for the band on amazon and the apple store and such.
I have heard that the white band gets really dirty really easily, however if you like the silver of the face than you could easily swap out the band!!
You’ll have to let us know what you decide — but I definitely think its worth it. I did get the series 1 over Christmas at Target and kind of wish I would have gotten the series 2 since it is waterproof for summer and being at the lake and pool but it was like $100 difference – so I just went with the series 1!

I didn’t even think about the white getting dirty…I’m so glad you said something. I’m looking into the waterproof one right now!
