Hello Ladies!
Today I am linking up with Andrea , Erika , and Narci and sharing my Friday Favorites. Be sure to grab the graphic and link up too!
ONE
I decided this week that I just simply cannot put off getting back into a workout routine and eating better. I have been HORRIBLE the past few months...and the scale can prove it:) Dieting is HARD, and I will fail if I feel like I am depriving myself. I am a firm believer in everything in moderation, and lately, moderation hasn't been in my vocabulary! I have been eating two salads a day, and I am OBSESSED with this dressing...it is delicious! If you guys have any awesome, healthy meals you are eating, PLEASE share them with me!

I was super excited to get this little package in the mail this week! We are definitely looking forward to trying some new recipes! You guys can preorder Shay's new cookbook here . If you have not gotten her first two books yet, Meal Planner and Cakes go check them out! Surprise packages are always a favorite for me! Thank you Shay !

I figured before I started my diet, I needed to indulge, and this Banana Pudding ice cream did NOT disappoint. My favorite banana pudding ice cream is from Front Porch, but I cannot find it here....but this one was pretty darn tasty! Good thing I ate the entire container in a matter of a few days, so the temptation is gone:)
FOUR
Last weekend we had a little staycation, and we had the BEST time. We stayed in a hotel about 3 minutes from our house, and just spent the weekend swimming and hanging out...it was such a fun little time, and it was nice to just spend some quality time, all 7 of us! The kids are already asking when we can do it again...it is definitely something will do again!

My new planner just arrived this week and I am LOVING it. Two years ago I used the Erin Condren planner, and then I started using the Emily Ley Simplified Planner...and I did love them both...however they were both definitely pricey for a planner! One of our goals this year has been to really watch what we spend, and save more money. I decided that purchasing a planner for $50-60 just wasn't a necessity for me this year. That being said, I did still want something super cute, that wouldn't break the bank. I had given Brooke a Lilly planner last year for Christmas and she LOVED it. So I decided to order myself one this year, and I am so glad I did!! This is the exact one I ordered, but honestly all of them were bright, fun and cute!
I love everything about this planner...especially the price tag...only $24.00!

These are hands down my favorite colored pens to use in my planner! I always order them from Amazon, and they are awesome and don't bleed through the page! Get them!
So those are my favorites for this week! We have some running around to do this weekend, and lots to get done in the house and yard too! We are super excited that my mom will be here Thursday, and then we are heading to the beach for 4 days! Hope you all have a great weekend!
Pool, beach, ice cream and salads! I think you're embracing the Florida life! 🌴☀️ If it's going to be 100 degrees, you might as well be by the ocean! 😉
ReplyDeleteGirl I am ready for it NOT to be 100 degrees! Have a great weekend !!!
DeleteGirl! don't sweat the eating healthy and exercising bit because I'm right there with you! This week has totally sucked in that department! Love the planner. I was just telling someone this week, that I keep NOTHING in my phone. Everything is "written down." Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYea that whole eating good thing is for the birds. Lol. But I'm determined to make an effort at least ;). And I am still old fashioned and write it all down in my planner. I never use the calendar on my phone. Have the best weekend !!!
DeleteDefinitely learning to eat moderately and not restrict yourself is key! So much harder in my 40's than ever before. I have not worked out in 3 weeks..eek. It makes me feel so much better when I am consistent. Have a super weekend!
ReplyDeleteGirl 10 years ago I could eat whatever and not really worry. I turned 40 and bam I can gain it in a day and it takes 6 months to lose. Ugh. Have a great weekend my friend
DeleteI did the whole Erin Condren thing too and have been looking for a replacement that is in a better price range. I think I found it! Love the one you found too.
ReplyDeleteI loved the EC and the Simplified Planner but $60 is a lot and I am really trying to scale back on what I spend Have a great weekend !
DeleteI am in the same boat after enjoying myself a little too much this summer. Time to buckle down. I'll have to try that dressing for sure. I have my eye on that cute Lily planner. The size and price are pretty perfect. Happy weekending!
ReplyDeleteThe dressing is so delicious! Definitely try it. And the planner...it's a little smaller than what I am used to but for the price it's awesome and it's so colorful and fun ! Have a great weekend !
DeleteWeird, you didn't publish my comment, how come?
ReplyDeleteYes I sure did. You made the comment under last Friday's post so if you look at that you will see it;). Have a great weekend
DeleteOh, my bad!
ReplyDelete;). For the most part I always publish comments, unless they are just intentionally mean and hurtful towards me or my family. ;). Hope you have a great weekend !
Deleteand I am so opposite! I tried a Lilly planner a couple of years ago when everyone was talking about them- never would bite on an Erin C one! But I didnt use it at all......so I am definitely a "put it all on my phone" gal! I have always struggled with my weight but I do exercise and I figure everything in moderation. Except wine. Drink that shizzle up! LOL jk......
ReplyDeleteYea I'm just old school lol. And seriously I mean I think I just want to be fat and happy. Lol! Have a great weekend my friend and please drink some wine for me ;)
DeleteI just ordered my third Lilly planner, I LOVE them. The stickers in the front pages are super cute too!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you know how I am about my EC. Can't live without her�� I usually order next years around Thanksgiving and am eyeing up the rose gold his year for sure! And Y E S to the pens!! They go EVERYWHERE with me and people always lol. Don't care...color coronation for activities keeps this girl going!
