It’s FRIDAY!!! And it’s officially DECEMBER!
Whew! This first week after a big break was difficult for me. I needed an easier re-entry into “real” life before I was thrown into a full week of normal! Anyone else? I’ve got a little dose of Friday FAVORITES for you. And when I say a LITTLE dose, I mean it. As always, I’ve teamed up with my girl, Andrea, to bring you some FAVES. 🙂
First up in my list of FAVES are these podcasts….
And 10 Things to Tell You Podcast! I shared both of those in my post on Wednesday, but they’re worth another share! On this topic, if YOU have a FAVORITE podcast you look forward to each week, PLEASE share it with me. I was so glad my aunt shared these two with me last week! I’ll spend the next few months catching up on all their old episodes. They’re THAT good!

This might be the cutest/funniest Christmas gift I’ve ever opened in the mail! Definitely Bowen’s FAVORITE surprise. One of Tab’s crew mates sent crackers, cheeses, and this football shaped-summer sausage. How CUTE for a group of football officials! Right? If you’re a fellow football wife of some kind, keep this gift in mind. {It came from Harry & David’s.}

The weather here in Texas yesterday wasn’t exactly cold or even cool really but it was just a grey, rainy day. Every once in a while I absolutely LOVE days like that! Especially if I don’t have to get out in it! My FAVORITE way to spend an evening like that is with a big bowl of soup and guys! This soup was delish last night! I added chicken breasts, chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and sliced carrots along with some seasonings to the slow cooker early yesterday morning and that cooked a long time. About an hour before we were gonna eat I diced up the chicken, added frozen corn, added frozen peas, a little heavy cream to give it just a little creaminess, and egg noodles. An hour later we were eating the most delicious soup-I paired mine with a little parmesan cheese and Tobasco. This was on the schedule for Wednesday night but things got away from me so we had it last night. 😉

Another FAVORITE….this slow cooker! If you’re looking for a nice gift for someone hard to shop for, see if she has a nice slow cooker. I use mine multiple times a week almost all year long. When I add up the price per use, it’s SO WORTH it!

Last thing and this isn’t even a FAVORITE of mine but I’m hoping you share a FAVORITE of yours…I have HIGH hopes of a fun, festive game night and am on the hunt for a few great games. Do you have any family faves? This year our typical Christmas Eve plans will look a little different and I’m thinking some fun games that night might be the perfect addition! Please send your recs my way!

My list is really short and sweet this week. I’ve got a LONG to-do list today and am doing all I can to check everything off my list by the time the kids are out of school. Wish me luck! 😉
Hope you guys have THE BEST weekend!
