Happy, Happy Friday, Friends!
This week is our football “bye” week for both of my big kids and you’d think we managed to get extra sleep. You’d be wrong. I feel like my body’s been working in a sleep deficit the entire week! Needless to say, I’m ready to set my alarm for a more “normal” wake up time!
As always, I’m here with Andrea to share some FAVORITES from my week…

First up is this denim dress + the tied bandana to make it feel a little more “fall”. I’m in the small in the dress. I think it runs a bit big. The whole look was a new FAVORITE! {Sorry about the pic quality. We were doing that after church scramble where everyone was trying to change clothes and get to practice.}

I very rarely make desserts in our house. I’m just not a baker. Let me back up….we eat desserts but they’re cookie dough we baked or ice cream or that kind of thing. However, this week I made these S’Mores Cookies. They’re SUPER simple! If you’re not a baker either, this recipe is for you! Britt helped me make these while we were simultaneously making dinner, if that tells you anything about the easiness. I bought the cookie dough sold in squares {which made it even easier}. A surprise dessert after dinner was a kid FAVORITE!

Hi! My name is Erika and I enjoy a teeny-bopper show. I finally finished The Summer I Turned Pretty and while many of the characters drove me bananas, I continued to watch! Some other FAVORITES are Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, and The OC, just to name a few. If you have any other recs, you think I’d enjoy, please share!
A couple things…
- I thought the show was over on episode 6 so I just watched the last episode. hahaha! I thought it left us with a MAJOR cliffhanger.
- I wanted to shake Belly, Conrad, and Jeremiah all at different times throughout this series.
- The amount of contemplation these characters had with Taylor Swift tunes playing as they contemplated, well…it was a lot.
Spoiler…{skip down if you don’t want to read a spoiler}

You guys know we have a lot of FAVORITE college football teams in our house. From the Big 12 to SEC to ACC and even the Sun Belt {hello Arkansas State!!}, we are watching and we’re cheering. This time of year our television is on some football game five out of seven nights. I keep hearing things on ESPN and let me tell you…

Clemson & Dabo Swinney are two of my FAVORITES! I’m hoping this bye weekend gives them some extra needed rest and they come out ready to beat Bill and his Tar Heels. 😉
What’s the BIG football game you’re watching this weekend?

My Bible Study group is doing this He Is..study this fall. The author, Carrie, is a real life mom/friend who lives here in McKinney so it’s been extra special so far. It’s a new FAVORITE, for sure!

I hope you guys have THE BEST weekend!
