Friday Favorites :: December 11th Version

December 11, 2020 by Michelle Filed Under: Life 2 Comments

Y’all! Can you believe that we only have TWO weeks until Christmas! Say it isn’t so!

Today is also my momma’s birthday – she would have been 70 today! Cue the confetti bombs in Heaven!

In honor of my sweet mom and the glitzy, Christmas-loving woman she was, I’m sharing a few favorites that I think she would have appreciated.

  1. She would have worn these amazing Green/Gold Tree Earrings at a local shop: Just The Thing every day of December!

2. She wouldn’t have worn this headband from J.Crew because she loved her big hair, but I LOVE it {and all their headbands!} and the bling certainly would have caught her eye!

3. She would go bonkers over all the glitters available at Color Street! The woman loved to have her nails done and these would have been in her stash!

4. Not only was she a woman who loved her bling, she also loved some leopard/cheetah/animal print. I recently purchased these D’Orsay Pumps from J.Crew…and they go with EVERYTHING.

5. Okay, so maybe she would have never worn one of these, but she definitely would have enjoyed the versatility of these Pick-a-beanie + Pick-a-pom options from Anthropologie. She would have at least encouraged me to get one…I’m hoping to find one under the tree {hint*hint*}.

6. Back to glitzy things Mom would have LOVED…these gorgeous and fun bracelets made by my sweet friend Jenny – Wood and Clay Designs – would have been on her wrist every day!

7. Wrapping things up for this week’s Friday Favorites are these fancy masks found on Amazon, because if we have to wear masks, why not have some fun with them! And you bet Mary would have worn a glitter one!

8. And this fabulous Christmas tote bag from Mud Pie because all things from Mud Pie are fabulous. I know without a doubt I would have found a bag like this sitting in the kitchen next to her purse <3

Now if you’ve made it all the way to the end, yay! I have a giveaway! Comment on this post and Tuesday, December 15th I’ll do a drawing for a Lip Butter from EverBe. They were featured in my Friday Favorites post in October and I cannot wait for you to win one!

Happy shopping and until next time…

    This is so sweet, so Mary- except for the toboggans- they might have missed up her hair!!! She had s style that was all her on & she wore it well. I miss her so very much. She was a bright & positive soul. Love Martha

Happy Saturday people!!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฅณ Today is day 6 of Happy Saturday people!!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฅณ
Today is day 6 of the @hopewriters #writingchallenge. I actually skipped yesterday because I felt very uninspired by all the things around me ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜ฉ and the prompt Fresh didnt conjure up anything exciting.
But. Today is a brand new day and we're off to a great start over here.๐ŸŒž 
Today's prompt is Rhythm...and being a lover of words, I looked it up to read all of the meanings. ๐Ÿ“š
Rhythm always makes me think of music and dancing, so today's pic is of my feet.๐Ÿคฉ I'm no professional dancer but I LOVE to dance. We almost always have music playing in our house and twirling is a constant. Eliza Jane takes dance lessons and Reynolds is hoping to jump into a hip hop class at the same studio.๐Ÿ•บ Andrew and I took dance lessons for a little over a year, until the world shut down last year. So dancing is in our veins. 
Along with dancing are repeated patterns and such is life. Patterns of waking and sleeping and the chores of the day. Patterns of food and seasons. Patterns of work and rest. Patterns of joy and sadness. 
There are rhythms all around if we are conscious enough to see them.
What patterns do you see in your own world?
#hopewriterlife
Day 4 of the @hopewriters #writingchallenge and to Day 4 of the @hopewriters #writingchallenge and today's prompt is simply: Twenty One.
21. A simple enough number. I pondered writing to my 21 year-old self and quickly decided that wouldn't be a fun time to reminisce ๐Ÿคช, so I scratched that idea.

I debated on sharing 21 ideas for supper but who am I to tackle THAT!? ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ
Maybe 21 books that I want to read this year? ๐Ÿ“š
What about 21 stores and shops where I like to find our home reno supplies? Nah.

I even considered 21 hopes for this brand new year we've just started but wasn't quite feeling it.

I landed on 21 adjectives to describe what I like about myself. Some of you may think, why on earth? Because it was hard ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Because it forced me to really compliment myself when I am my own worst critic and often speak negativity over myself. It took me maybe 2 minutes to do this, and for that I am thankful!๐Ÿ™Œ

If you were to write 21 adjectives of what you like about yourself could you do it? And how long would it take you? What would you write?๐Ÿ˜‰ Debating? Just do it ๐Ÿ˜˜โ™ฅ๏ธ

Shine: to give out a bright light or a quality of Shine: to give out a bright light or a quality of brightness.
Today is day 3 of the @hopewriters #writingchallenge and the topic is the word Shine.
When I think of shining, its in a way that brings happiness, joy, excitement, expectation even. Like the sun rising in the east - hence my photo from Sunday morning when Andrew and I were in Kiawah. The shining I think of doesn't bring dread or gloom. When the sun shines, especially after a rainy day, we are thrilled โ™ฅ๏ธ and even relieved at times, that the gloom is over.
 
This is what I want of my life, my words and actions...I want to shine in a way, that people are excited to see/hear from me, as they are a bright star or the sun. Not dread my appearing ๐Ÿ˜ฉ (or God forbid applaud my leaving).

Lord, shine through me so that it's you they see. Not me, Lord. Not me.

Progress not Perfection. I've heard this over and Progress not Perfection.
I've heard this over and over and I'm finally putting it into practice this year ๐Ÿ™Œ
Day 2 of the @hopewriters challenge and we're talking about Progress. So of course I've given you a blurry photo of my @cultivatewhatmatters
#powersheetsplanner January tending list.๐Ÿ˜† These are all the things I'm working on this month, this week and today...and some of my things are private ๐Ÿ˜˜
I will share I'm making progress in: spending less, eating less sugar, exercising more consistently, spending more time with my family and Jesus.โ™ฅ๏ธ

Progress is good...it's moving forward in (hopefully) the right direction.
How about you...what does progress look like in your life today?

Today's prompt: New You...hence my "I'm at the hair salon" photo.๐Ÿ˜„ New You, New do ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ
We have a motto in our house right now, and I'm sure you've either heard or said it yourself: New Year, New You.๐Ÿ˜‰
We are saying it in our house for various and interesting reasons...from Emory wiping his own behind (he's 4), to Reynolds tying his shoes (hello, bunny ears) and Eliza Jane brushing her hair and pulling it out of her face (for crying out loud). And @theandrewrlucas wanting to run a ridiculous 650 miles this year...babe, you do you๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜œ.
I can't say that I'm wanting a "new" version of myself this year. Or even that I'm wanting to start anything new, but I definitely want a better version of what I see, think, feel and hear. For me, I recognize it all starts with my time in the Word so this year's got a goal of rising early EVERY day to tune my heart and mind more into Him.โ™ฅ๏ธ Even on the days I want to sleep in, #firstthingsfirst.
How about you? New you or a better version?
