what i've been enjoying ...

Since it's been a while, I thought I would catch you up on what I've been enjoying the last few months ...

* Lauren Graham

All things Lauren Graham!!!!

Gilmore Girls, Parenthood, Gilmore Girls Revival ... yes, yes, & yes!

I can't even tell you how many times I've watched the entire 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls over the past couple of years. I love the quirkiness, the fast dialog, the mother/daughter dynamic. The Revival came out on Netflix the day after Thanksgiving & it was everything I thought it would be! & then, there's Parenthood ... no words. This show is in a class all by itself. If you haven't watched it, get on Netflix STAT! Lauren Graham is unbelievably great in both shows ... so great!

She recently wrote a book about her time on Gilmore Girls & Parenthood entitled Talking As Fast As I Can. If you're a fan of either show (& you should be) you would LOVE the book!

* Historical Fiction

I know, snoozefest, right?!?!?

But seriously, I have been reading a ton of historical fiction set in World War II Europe the last few months. I feel like that last sentence makes me sound a lot smarter than I really am ...

Here are a few of the books that have been my favorite ...

All the Light We Cannot See
The Book Thief
Secrets of a Charmed Life
The Nightingale

I am totally intrigued about this time era & what life must have been like for the European people. Such a dark time in history. If I had to pick a favorite from this little list, it would have to be Secrets of a Charmed Life ... an incredible book!

* Hillsong's "Let There Be Light"

OK ... Hillsong has a relatively new album entitled, "Let There Be Light" & it has been on constant rotation in my car, on my phone, in my house ...

It is soooooo great! I haven't totally loved some of their recent projects, but this album doesn't have a bad track on it! I can't even tell you my favorite song, because they are all so good! Go on YouTube & find some of the live performances ... you won't be sorry!

* The Crown
I am so late to the party for this one ... BUT for everyone that loved Downton Abbey ... get on Netflix & watch The Crown! Only season 1 is out right now ... it spans time from her childhood through her becoming queen after the death of her father. It's a completely different look at the monarchy. Can not wait for season 2!

So, y'all ... am I missing out on anything?!?!?! Let me know what you are loving right now!

favorite things friday: songs, studies, & Spring!

Y'all ... February is all but gone.

March is just hours away ... which means Spring ...

which means warmer weather ...

which means my somewhat

sunny disposition will be returning!

Until then...

here are a few of

my favorites from this week!

* great worship music ...

Last weekend our church had it's annual women's conference ... Jen Hatmaker spoke & Meredith Andrews lead worship. Meredith sang this song & it was one of my favorite moments from the entire conference!

Spirit of the Living God ... Vertical Church

* Illustrated Faith ...

I came across Shanna Noel on my instagram feed this week. Her website, Illustrated Faith, is unbelievable! She has come up with a whole new & interactive way to study the Bible ... through creative journaling. Take a look at some of these ...

These journaling Bibles are incredible! I love this idea!

* timely reminders ...

{rosehill designs}

I don't know about y'all, but I've needed this reminder this week! Spring is coming & I am ready for it!

... & that's it for this week's favorites!

Hope your weekend is a great one!

As always ..

favorite things friday: sweaters & booties, suede, & back at mama's

I'm baaaa-aaaaackkk!!!! And if you didn't believe my post Tuesday explaining my blog-lean week ... I have sat down at the computer 4 times to start this post & have had the people I share this house with call me away for things that apparently only a mother is qualified to do.

Anyway ...

Happy Friday, y'all!!!!

Here are a few of my very favorite things from this week ...

* Target finds {& great deals!}...

{target}

I ordered this sweater for ... get this ... a whole whopping $9.18!!!!

It comes in 6 colors, but a few

have select sizes because it's on clearance!

{target}

super cute black booties that Sheaffer from Pinterest Told Me To

mentioned earlier this week.

I snagged a pair for $28 ... a complete STEAL!

While I can't stand colder weather ... I love wearing jeans, comfy sweaters, & boots! So, I'm looking forward to Fall for that reason only!

* new to me ...

I've had this polish for 2 or 3 years, but have always used it for pedicures. This week I used it on my fingernails {with Sally Hansen's miracle gel top coat I told you about HERE} for the first time & I LOVED it!!!

{Gray Suede by Revlon}

A very subtle, barely there color! Perfect!

* & last ...

I heard this song on the radio this week & as soon as I got home I went to You Tube to find the video ...

Tim & Faith singing "Meanwhile Back at Mama's".... lord have mercy on my soul! This song takes me home ... even though Daddy never smoked & never drinks anything stronger than my mama's sweet tea. & the video is just precious! Love! Love! Love!

Hope your weekend is full of fun! We are going to enjoy our last couple of days of freedom before school starts on Monday morning! Packing it in & hanging on for dear life, y'all!!!!
