Friday Favorites, 6.6.2025.

 


Happy Friday, friends! I hope your week has been good...mine has been and some things were worth noting. I learned that I have a new reader here yesterday...my ex and his girlfriend read my blog everyday! Let's all say hi to them both! 🤣 Not only does she read here, she likes to insult me and my life as well. How's that for some fun reading on a Friday? 


I digress.




These were a couple of my favorite things that I saw on socials this week, especially that first one. That first one was something I recently put into practice! And then yesterday I went and let my mouth (words in a text) fly and whatever I thought, I said. 🙄 I'm rolling my eyes at myself. I try to rise above, and then BAM. 





I don't know if you know or remember this about me, but looking at houses is one of my favorite things. I was in a beautiful neighborhood Wednesday night, and loved looking at the homes on that street. It was this really beautiful, tucked-in area in a suburb of my city. 



It was a favorite this week to attend a women's event that Marilyn invited me to this week. This is why I was in that neighborhood with the pretty homes this week. I loved meeting some of her church friends at this event! I already knew some of them, but now I know even more. 



It's a favorite when my sons cook! I'm so proud of them all for being ambitious with new things to try; Jonah made this scrumptious plate of shrimp alfredo this week. He made the alfredo from scratch! This was so freaking good, I ate several bites of it off his plate. 



This moment above was definitely a favorite! He's such a great guy and bonus points for the fact that he's seriously attractive and treats me so well. 



Tuesday night was a favorite this week, because I actually stayed home for once. I changed into my comfy clothes pretty early in the afternoon, I had a good dinner, and I finished a bottle of my favorite wine. 




Neon colors in the summer months are my favorite! I bought this cute case on Amazon for under $8, and it's a sturdy one.




Marilyn sent me a link for her favorite gold earrings, and I bought some for myself! 



Here are the most recent sandals that I bought last week! I still love them and think they're great to wear when I wear my swimsuit/coverup. 



Last but not least, is that I got to see my Drew for lunch yesterday! Seeing and spending time with my guys will always be my favorite thing in all of the world!


What was a favorite of yours from this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, (mostly) friends. (Not everyone who reads here is my friend...don't forget what I said at the top.) Love to most of you! xoxo


Jenn ❤️

  2. Oh my God- hope you told them to get a life. You radiate JOY and him leaving was the best thing for you and your life- you just didn't know it at the time but I am sure they are seeing that you are thriving and have some much kindness and any people who love you. I love following along- you live the way we all should! XO

    1. Right?! Can you believe the audacity? I wholeheartedly agree with him leaving was the very best thing for me and my life. I'm enjoying every moment of this new life, especially since my sons are all grown and don't require much of me these days. Thanks for that, my friend, and for always being my biggest cheerleader!

  3. I just think that is really weird that they read your blog. What are they looking for? Hasn't the damage already been done? Move on! Get a life! Write your own home-wrecker blog. How about that?
    I love your new Reef sandals and it seems like you had lots to enjoy this week despite that realization.
    I had a stupid little estate setback this week that I let cloud my day and I am still mad at myself. Why do I do that?
    I guess we are all just works in progress.
    Happy weekend to you!

    1. Right? It's extremely unhealthy. Move on and get a life is right! That made me laugh...maybe she should consider starting one of her own! It was a great week in spite of all that. I'm sorry that you had a setback this week s well! I do the same thing, and I let things get to me that I should let go of. Women are hard on ourselves! I agree about all of us being works in progress...I said that yesterday to someone. Thanks for that, friend! I hope yours is great.

We have alot in common on the life front, however I truly believe, his leaving was the best that happened to me as well. Not at the time, but now 100%. So happy for you!

  7. Imagine a homewrecker acting like the victim by insulting you! I am definitely not one to delete my paragraph ;) It's actuallly very sad for them - how happy can they really be if they're spending their time thinking about you?

    1. and also you are most definitely the bigger person! If you weren't you'd post their socials so we could politely let them know what we think.

    2. Right? I think that's funny that you said that. I thought the same thing! You made me laugh today, friend. Thank you for your kind words!

  8. I haven't been following your blog very long but today I am appalled at the hypocrisy. You stated that she insulted you but as I read your blog and the comments you and your followers insult them and make disappointing comments that surprises me because I feel that professed Christians should hold themselves to a higher standard. Also one of the comments states that they want you to post their social media to "politely let them know what we think" and the way that it stated does not appear that way. I personally will not lower myself to the actions I am reading today.

  9. Your blog is always a sunshine spot for me. I just wanted to share that your situation feels very relatable. I've been where you are and it's hard. Glad to see you are focusing on great time with the people who give back as much joy as you share with them. Brunch Sundays are becoming a favorite for me and my son. I wish I had the foresight to start some little, new traditions like that at the beginning of the muck. It gets better. I hope you have a great week!

  10. I love reading your blog! Thanks for the phone case recommendation; I need a neon one so I can find my phone!

  11. Love your blog! I am so proud of you for turning such a difficult time in your life into such a positive one and helping others who are going through tough experiences! How ridiculous that they both read here, but not really surprised to hear that, especially after the rants your ex posted on here several months ago.
    It sounds like one of them is still posting today "I haven't been following your blog very long but today I am appalled at the hypocrisy". LOL that either of them would talk about hypocrisy! Keep living your BEST, NEW life!

    1. I wrote that comment and I honestly have no clue who she is other than reading the blog. I found this blog when I was searching for something on Facebook. I love how you make the assumption that because I don't share your viewpoint that I must be her ex or his gf. Even your comment proves my point that it is ok for you to throw comments and names and insults but not for others, not just the ex, just because they did wrong. Several of you have said that you also do wrong but supposedly grow every day. So you are telling me we are allowed to do wrong as long as we ask forgiveness each time? You know that we as Christians are to strive to not make mistakes instead of just saying we ask for forgiveness. So yes I consider that hypocritical from my view.

  12. That house really is beautiful!
    Good job your sons for cooking, the shrimp alfredo looks good!
    Those sandals are so cute and how lovely to see Drew yesterday!

  13. I also love those sandals! And that's amazing that your boys make such a yummy meal! They must have had a good Mama that taught them well :)
    Sorry you're having blog drama. I'm a newbie followers, but from what I've read it sounds like you've always been more than respectful in the very few comments made about your past, so don't be down on yourself. You've navigated some stormy waters and I think you've done it with a lot of grace! And it looks like you've came out really happy on the other end! Keep on sharing, many of us love following your lovely blog!
