Friday Favorites!

Does anyone else start their day with an arm wrestle in the school drop-off line? I don’t know at what age my kids started winning these competitions, but I’m guessing it was longer ago than I want to believe.

I took the day off from running and did some good ol’ yoga and upper body strength training. This one felt so so good:

My mom came over and we chatted on the porch while I ate grocery store sushi.

The skeleton jammies have entered our lives.

It was a chicken noodle soup over mashed potatoes kind of a night. My entire family is in love with this meal.

Now, for the favorites that I am loving this week.
As you know, I love a good Amazon fashion find, so I have three today to share–> This mock-turtleneck is a 10/10. It makes me feel a little fancier for my grocery store runs and pre-school pickups;). It’s also 37% off currently. It comes in so many great colors!

*A fall MUST. This is my church uniform this time of year.

*And I’ve had this corduroy button-up for years and wear it every fall on repeat.

*My MIL introduced me to these bars, and I have one with me everywhere we go now. I’m in love.

*I have a problem. Between this TJ’s Hair Mask and this leave-in spray, I’m a happy camper.

And a few sales that are currently going on:
*Madewell is 30% off sitewide! My most worn jeans ever are part of this sale. I grabbed this bag because I’ve been needing one just like it and 30% off is a big deal!
*It’s the adidas up to 40% off Fall Refresh sale! The best Gazelle’s are part of this sale.
*The transcend stash leggings are such a good price right now (I love the olive), I have this sweatshirt on sale in a few colors (it’s perfect after a run or for errands), and these joggers are the softest.
*Free People is having an up to 70% off Fall Styles sale!
*Etsy is up to 25% off the cutest Halloween Decor. It’s too cute for Andrew’s style of Halloween decorations so let me live through you;)

Tonight Im taking my son to get his driver license while my husband takes our daughter and a friend to see The Lumineers. He wins for a better evening:-)
I dont have a favorite product but my daughter asks for that TJ’s mask everytime I go.
Day after labor day for Halloween
My favorite snack on the go are Babybels and the mini Kind Bars
Have an amazing weekend. Im going to check out some of those links you sent.

DRIVERS LICENSE?! This is a big deal! And The Lumineers… I’m jealous! You are in such a fun stage with your kids but I agree, the concert sounds more fun haha. The mask is just too good and the price makes me love it even more. We agree with your Halloween answer. I love a Babybel! Thank you friend, you too!
We need to try the chicken noodle soup over mashed potatoes…is this something your family has always done?
Date night tonight–we are both pretty indecisive so I’m not sure what we will end up doing.
I love Act+Acre products!!! They have saved my thinning hair.
Always some type of protein bar.I like Quest/Kirkland brand one’s because they aren’t to messy if I leave them to melt in the vehicle. I am also known to bring oatmeal in a glass bowl to the car–I’m as bad as my kids, haha.
Have a fabulous Friday, Janae!

Your kids will love the combo. I actually learned it from my friend, Paige. She makes the best meals and I’ve clung on to this tradition. FUN! Date night! I want to hear alllll about it. Ummm I’ll check that out. I see zero problems with oatmeal in the car. Delicious! Keep enjoying and have a beautiful night:)
Also LOVE that hair mask. I was have and extra tube or two just in case lol
Also, would say the Peloton app is worth it for runners to just use for strength and yoga? I didn’t realize they have specific yoga for runners as well. Pretty sure they have strength for runners? I have a non peloton bike and use Apple Fitness for spin classes

Always need an extra tube because I can’t live without it. I think absolutely! I use it almost every single day and it’s a lot cheaper if you are just using it for strength/yoga/pilates. They do have strength for runners. It really is so good and I love the instructors and they get me doing all of the extras that I don’t do on my own. Have a great weekend, Mina!
No plans tonight but going to spend some time with family over the weekend. Favourite snack dried mangoes. We haven’t decorated for Halloween but maybe put some decorations up October 1. I definitely did some fall shopping. I got a gorgeous pair of wine colored shoes last week and a black aritzia super puff this week ????
Have a great day Janae!

I LOVE DRIED MANGOS. Ummmm I want those shoes and the super puff. FUN! Have the best time with family this weekend:) Thanks Kristine, you too!
We are big fans of those RX bars in our house.
I know you’ve shared that sweater/skirt set before, it’s so cute! I need to order it.
I finally got the house all cleaned, so I can finally get my fall decor out. Definitely going to take a look at that Etsy link.
We have our monthly theater tickets tonight with my in-laws, looking forward to seeing &Juliet!
Have a great Friday Janae
I can’t recommend it enough! Yay for a clean house.. come help me with mine;). Ummm I love that you have monthly theater tickets. That is so so great, enjoy! Thanks, Wendy!
Fun Friday night plans of staying home and ordering takeout after a long week of teaching! 🙂 We might have to do Mexican; I am craving some chips and salsa. I remember car ride arm wrestling, my mom eventually banned it because my four older brothers were a little too competitive! 😉 We are putting up our Halloween decorations this weekend, although we don’t go all out like y’all; just a few Nightmare Before Christmas inflatables. Happy Friday, Janae!

I think that is the most perfect Friday night plan. I am craving some Mexican, too! Bahah I love that your mom had to ban it. Enjoy putting Halloween up, I think you do it properly… we are a little over the top! Thanks Emily, you too:)
I carry edamame snack bags with me or if I have time I bag up almonds and pretzels. I am getting ready for 17 hours in the car, so I will be packing snacks like these, carrots, apple sauce and cheese sticks. I still need to find a good audiobook to download.
Friday night plan is to go out to eat. My hubby has learned that I don’t like to cook after doing a long run. Today’s long trail run was 14 miles in rain. The trail was slippery so glad I had poles with.
We don’t decorate for Halloween. I did put out fall decorations tho.

welcome!
