Friday Favorites-12.13.24

EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!! There’s magic in the air, friends! Can you feel it?

HAPPY FRIDAY! THERE’S ONLY ONE MORE FRIDAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS! 🙂

Today, I have a fun little lunch to celebrate a friend’s birthday, have some work to do, and have more presents to wrap. Andrea and I are here sharing some of our FAVORITES from the week. As always, we hope you join us!

Before I get started today…I need to wish my gorgeous Grandma Ruth a HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY!! She’s the matriarch of our family, is the very best cook, has shown us all how to physically be the hands and feet of Jesus, is the KINDEST lady you’ll ever meet, and if you know her, you absolutely love her. She’s the best! Happy Happy Birthday, Grandma! We love you so much! XO

First FAVORITE is this sweat suit. The shirt and pants are like wearing butter…so silky smooth. It’s the perfect Spanx dupe. I had it on this week for a quick grocery store run and I was stopped twice in the store by other women give me compliments. And you know me, I was very much, “You’ll never believe how much it cost! It’s from AMAZON!”. One lady even asked me what I searched on Amazon to find this. ha! Women supporting women…yes, yes, yes! The red is very vibrant and pretty, but it comes in other colors. I’m in the medium in the red and I had to roll my pants. I’d stick to your true size.

This is me in the small and it fits much better. Seriously, check out this set! Under $40!

As a Disney Travel Agent through Mix and Match Travel, I spend most of my week days working on Walt Disney World vacations or Disney Cruises. I love getting to talk to families, work on magical vacations, and get just as excited for the families as they are about visiting Disney World. My Disney sales representative sent me some Christmas goodies this week. One of my FAVORITE things is being appreciated so this little package delivered, families sending me pics of their trips, etc…makes me happy.

Ebby Lee got to watch the Cowboys/Bengals game this week for Monday Night Football. The Bengals are her FAVORITE team so it was extra fun to share that with friends!

FESTIVE FAMILY NIGHTS…we had a fun dinner and then tickets to see Prestonwood’s Gift of Christmas. Local people have probably heard of that, but if you haven’t, Prestonwood is a large church in our area that puts on this amazing Christmas show. Part of the show is secular and the other part is all about Jesus. They do an AMAZING job! The kids and I saw it a couple years ago but Tab and his dad hadn’t been so we were READY to go as soon as tickets went on sale. These kinds of nights are truly some of my FAVORITE moments. Trust me when I say they all enjoyed themselves but Bowen chose to make that face because he thought it was hilarious. 🙂

M and I tried to get in but too many people and apparently my hand got shaky!

Another FAVORITE?! This time of year is the second busiest for our family {August is ALWAYS the busiest}. Tab attends every one of his company’s holiday parties. Each branch has their own so he travels pretty much one or two nights a week plus then turns around and travels for football on the weekends. He loves getting to go and seeing each and every employee but now that he’s mostly home…it’s my FAVORITE!

*************************

I can’t speak to this one quite yet because it arrived yesterday but one of my FAVORITE people recommended it for the Christmas season. If you need a good Christmas read, try The Christmas Bargain. I’ll let you know what I think {but it’ll be after Christmas}.

*********************

We have a fun, festive, and busy weekend ahead….date night tonight, cheer competition, basketball game, family dinner out, Christmas nail date, and more! Whew! Hope you guys are enjoying the merry days! See you back here on Monday!

    Is it my imagination or is this month going faster than the previous 11? Here is wishing you get everything done, and enjoy it completely along the way!

      Hey Madeline! I got it from an online boutique. I thought it was so cute but in the picture it kind of photographs like I’m wearing football pads. ha!

    You know an outfit is a keeper when random strangers stop you for compliments! What a wonderful feeling.

    I immediately purchased that sweat suit. It looks ideal for spending an entire day in the gym, attending various sporting events.
    I think Christmas books are some of the best, that one sounds like it would be good. Although I tend to be a pretty slow reader this time of year with all of the busyness!

      Hey Stacy! I totally feel you! I’m thinking when we do a little road trip to see family I’ll be reading while Tab is driving. 😉

    I ordered the red lounge outfit before I even finished reading your post! I got it yesterday and I have already received several compliments on it. Thank you for the recommendation!
