Friday Favorites-8.1.25

Hi Friends!

WHEW! What a WEEK we’ve had! I’ll share more about our little college tour trip next week, but for now I’ve got a short and sweet list of five FAVORITES for your Friday! As always, I’ve teamed up with my girl, Andrea!

How CUTE are these apple paper plates?! I bought several packs along with….

these notebook paper napkins to pair together with a gift card for the first day of school teacher gift. I’m gonna add a little note card that says, “Dinner & Dishes on the Slaughters! Happy First Day!”. I’m NOT a Pinterest mom but this seems REALLY easy AND I think it’ll be a teacher FAVORITE to not have to worry about dinner one night.

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

I’ve been searching the camp app like a mad woman trying to find pictures of Bowen this week. Bowen is going to be following in Nixon’s footsteps and is changing schools this year for middle school. He went to camp this week with a new friend {who’ll be at his new school}. I’d say he was feeling okay about going but isn’t a kid who was super “into” all the camp stuff. Needless to say, when I spy him in random pics smiling big it’s a FAVORITE! Can’t wait to get him from camp tomorrow!

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

Promise I’ll share more pics next week BUT as Ebby Lee enters her junior year having four days with her has been an absolute joy and FAVORITE of my week!

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

I’m NOT a sweet/gummy candy person but a friend shared these with me this week and they’re delicious! If candy is your jam, have you tried these? Definitely my FAVORITE “candy” that doesn’t involve chocolate!

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

Last FAVORITE….if you wanna snag some great denim at a discount before Nordstrom’s sale ends, NOW is the time! You can see all my Anniversary “hits” in this post!

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

This made me laugh because it’s so true! hahaha!

We’ll be doing all the things to make sure we’re BACK TO SCHOOL READY next week! Hope you have the best weekend!

    Ebby Lee is gorgeous!!! I can’t wait to hear more about her college tours! Hopefully The University of Alabama was on her list :). Also, as a teacher, I’d love your first day gift–such a great thought!
