HAPPY 1st Friday of December, Friends! I hope your holiday season is off to a great start! As always I’m here with my girl, Andrea, to share some of my FAVORITES over the last week!

First things first, this meme made me LAUGH!!! It’s a FAVORITE because the older I get, the more I like a cozy night at home. Bonus? I’m hanging with my dog. haha!

Bowen turned THIRTEEN on Thanksgiving so to celebrate a few days before Tab took him and some friends to camp out. This is one of the two pics I received while they were gone. {the other pic was their tent completely collapsed!}. This table top Blackstone was one of Tab’s FAVORITES! He liked it so much he came back and ordered himself a big Blackstone for Christmas!

I rounded up my FAVORITE three gifts for the Sports Mom in your life….cooler snack bag, wearable stadium sleeping bag, and sherpa stadium blanket.
*the cooler snack bag goes directly in your freezer. the ice packs are built in which is amazing {we lose a lot of ice packs around our house, kind of like bra liners!} these come in large lunch box sizes or small snack bags and are perfect for carrying meals to the field for you or your athlete.
*wearable stadium sleeping bag is SO WARM!!! i got mine last year and have no idea how i’d have made it through the cold days of early baseball season without it.
*sherpa stadium blanket is an easy to fold up warm sherpa blanket on one side and slick/easy to wipe off on the other. a friend did tons of research on the best one and this is what he found!

A few of my FAVORITE looks lately…

I can never say no to a Christmas plaid! This vest is so cute and such an easy way to dress up any holiday event with a little more festiveness.

Brown/white houndstooth bomber jacket can be worn ALL WINTER LONG!

This red vest is a Free People dupe and the price tag is oh, so good!

I was not expecting to love these rhinestone jeans, but I do!! Plus, paired with the festive snowflake sweater, I’ll wear this until the end of February!

Leopard cardigan paired with my Amazon barrel jeans and flats make an easy but cute {and super comfy} look.

Another dog meme got me another chuckle…

This year it was just the six of us at our house for Thanksgiving. We were super chill! We all slept in, had a delicious breakfast casserole while we watched the parade {well, the kids who were up at that point}, went for a long walk, and then said we’d eat at 3:00. That quickly turned into 4:00. ha! But since it was the six of us, there was no pressure! We ate {in our comfies}, watched football and enjoyed the slow pace of the day.

Another FAVORITE from Thanksgiving week, our nephew got MARRIED to one of the CUTEST, SWEETEST girls ever…

Aren’t they CUTE?!!

Four Slaughter girls….me, Marla, the mother of the groom looking STUNNING & Britt! The walking photo booth was a cool addition!

My FAVORITE wedding date!

So much fun getting to celebrate the first grandchild now MARRIED!


My crew…Ebby Lee had to stay back for work!
*************************

I realized recently Britt had never experienced Disney on Ice. I was a bit worried she might be too old BUT jokes on me, I thought it was fun too {and I’m way older}! I surprised her with tickets for her birthday so we’d been counting down the days until it was here. I don’t know what it is about an event center and a glow up light toy! ha!

We both wore festive Christmas shirts and were so excited! Plus, we had GREAT seats!


A picture doesn’t really do it justice but the show was incredible and over and over those skaters did AMAZING things! FAVORITE kind of evening! Then we met the family at Ciccio Trattoria for dinner. That restaurant is an Italian restaurant really close to our house. We’ve been a few times but it was SO FESTIVE and lively on Saturday evening. Highly recommend you visit on a weekend in December!
*************************

I finished this new FAVORITE series, All Her Fault, on Peacock and WHOAAAAA!!!! It’s a thriller/mystery {kind of like the books I prefer} and was SO good!

Hope you guys have the BEST weekend!
