Friday Favorites [7.31.2026]

 


Happy Friday, friends; this one hits different for me since I worked all week! I hope all of you had a great one; I want to hear about it at the end of this post, so stay tuned. Here are some favorite things and moments from this week...





Family dinner was a favorite this week because it happened at Drew's and Mallory's apartment. We swam and then ordered pizza for dinner; her parents were there as well as her twin sister. This was such a fun night, and I love that Mallory posted these pictures on social media, calling me one of her favorites. 




Being back at work was a favorite this week! It was so good to see my colleagues again, and to catch up. Our admin team is so fun and had us do fun little things like this card you see above, and even sending us out on a scavenger hunt. 




Leaving so early may not be a favorite, but sitting here was and talking on the phone. I talked to Chris on this day, since it was a day he stayed home from work because of his back.




Finding rain boots at school was a favorite; I was going to buy some this year, but now I don't have to since I found these. I walked around like this for a while to make sure they fit. 




This little eagle is my favorite!




Chick Fil A milkshakes are a favorite of mine; I got this after a dental procedure on Tuesday afternoon.




Scripture writing plans are a favorite of mine! I play on doing this one in August.




Lastly, our town hall is my favorite. I went here Tuesday night for a library board meeting after the dental appointment. It was a LONG day! And so was yesterday, on that note. It was orientation day, and I helped my friend Heather unpack/decorate her room (after doing the same thing on Monday and Tuesday for Karen), and I was beat when I got home. I'm sitting at work today and doing online training for the entire day; I leave at 2:30 for a meeting at the middle school, and then it's my weekend!


How was your week? What was a favorite for you? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends; love to all.

  1. Sounds like a big and busy week! On days that I sub, I prefer to not have to go anywhere in the evenings. Sometimes it's unavoidable but being at school all day is tiring. Your new boots are so cute! Family dinner night sounds like a blast!! Have a great weekend :).

    1. That's how I was, too. I tried not to commit to weeknight activities except once in a blue moon and toward the end of the week. Maria, are you going to be subbing this year?

  2. I love that Mallory is a twin! How cool! That pool is gorgeous and it's so fun for the young ones to host and include you. Great boot find! Whew - I can feel how tired you are. Treat yourself today and take a nap! I hope you have some fun plans this weekend or that you spontaneously find some fun!
