Hi hi! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope you\u2019e enjoying the week! It\u2019s been a bit of a blur over here since the kids went back to school. The morning wakeups have been rough lol, but they\u2019re happy to be back with their teachers and friends.<\/p>\n

Before school started, we had a couple of fun last-minute adventures.<\/p>\n

The girls and I went to pick veggies at Apple Annie\u2019s with some friends. They had an awesome selection of peppers, melons, eggplant, squashes, green beans, corn, and okra.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We got a huge stash of veggies for the week, along with a giant watermelon and cantaloupe, some honey and salsa from the shop, and lots of apple butter. After veggie picking, we had Mexican food at La Unica in Wilcox. Definitely check it out if you\u2019re in the area! They serve breakfast all day and have amazing horchata.<\/p>\n

After lunch, we took the girls to see “The Thing” since they were all intrigued by multiple billboards. The venue has gotten an upgrade since I was a kid.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We also had an afternoon bowling with my mom and nani! We\u2019ve gone roller skating and bowling lately; turns out we thoroughly enjoy vintage activities that require rented footwear that many others have worn since at least the 1960s.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n

Friday Faves 8.11<\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Health, fitness, good eats:<\/h3>\n

Spots will fill up. I can\u2019t wait to share this with you! Everything will be posted here on the blog on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

SO many good eats this week! We had ratatouille<\/a>, per the girls\u2019 request, with some of the veggies we picked:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

(The tomatoes I bought from the grocery store ended up being gross on the inside, but it was still delicious without them)<\/p>\n

This glorious lemon and pesto tuna pasta<\/a><\/p>\n

and a gluten-free zucchini bead<\/a>, made with one of the giant zucchini from the farm and Trader Joe\u2019s gluten-free flour.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We also had crispy okra in the air fryer, with corn bread with bbq chicken. I guess for cooking inspiration, we just need to pick everything that week. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Fashion + beauty:<\/h3>\n

You guyyyyyyys. So I\u2019ve been wanting a new tennis necklace, but didn\u2019t really want to spend $$$$ because I tend to get worried about things getting lost or ruined. I have a real tennis bracelet that I\u2019ve worn maybe five times because I\u2019m so scared of it falling off and getting lost. I was browsing Amazon and came across this one.<\/a> It\u2019s SO pretty and sparkly; I get compliments on it all the time! Also, I can wear it every day with worrying about something happening to it. 10\/10 recommend. Link is here!<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

lululemon finds. Liv and I got a little lululemon haul the other day, because she\u2019s heading back to dance, and I\u2019m heading back to\u2026 life. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Included in the mix:<\/p>\n

these shorts<\/a><\/p>\n

this sports bra<\/a><\/p>\n

this sports bra<\/a><\/p>\n

this tank<\/a><\/p>\n

this crop<\/a><\/p>\n

and this top<\/a><\/p>\n

Read, watch, listen:<\/h3>\n

This video cracks me up every time.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be alright.”<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s a nice compliment you\u2019ve received?<\/a><\/p>\n

Give hope and joy with just a few words.<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy happy Friday, friends!<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for being here and I\u201dll see ya soon.<\/p>\n
