Friday Favorites #42

Hi friends! Happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned for this weekend. I have been loving this spring weather. I have been trying to spend as much time as possible outside to soak up the sun! Iā€™ve even been grilling and enjoying reading outdoors. Some of my favorite summer activities.

Summer grilling has begun!

Iā€™m linking up with Erika and Andrea! for another edition of Friday Favorites. Hereā€™s a roundup of some things Iā€™ve been loving this week. 

Running– I canā€™t believe this is on my Friday Favorites list, but here we are. As the weather has been getting warmer, Iā€™ve been running outside more. Iā€™ve never been a runner, but one of my goals this summer is to run a 5K, so Iā€™ve been preparing for it. I try to get longer runs on the weekends, and shorter runs on the weekdays. Slowly but surely, Iā€™m getting there and Iā€™m proud of myself for how far Iā€™ve come.

Getting my runs in!

Coronation Behind the Scenes Video: Even though itā€™s been a few weeks, Iā€™m still reading and following things about the Coronation of King Charles III. Last week, Will and Kate released a behind the scenes of Coronation weekend. You can watch it here. I loved seeing them getting ready for the big day and getting into the community for all the events. The video was so well produced, such a great recap of the weekend!

Such a good recap!

Jury Duty– Have you seen Jury Duty yet? Itā€™s on Freevee through Amazon Prime and without giving too much away itā€™s about a group of people seated on a jury for a trial in Los Angeles, they are all actors who know the case is fake except for one of the jurors. Thereā€™s so many great one-liners and scenes, definitely worth the watch. 

Such a fun show!

Cuffed Jeans– As we are making our way through Spring, I have been wearing lots of transitional pieces of clothing that work for cooler mornings and hotter afternoons. Cuffed jeans and graphic t-shirts have been my go-to for the spring. Old Navy is a one stop shop for jeans, I love all the cuts and styles, but their regular cuts are my favorite. I have been wearing cuffed jeans non-stop this Spring.

A weekend look!

New Outlander Trailer- I am a big fan of the show, Outlander on Starz and the new trailer for Season 7 which airs this June dropped last week. This season brings us to the American Revolution. The trailer looks dramatic, intense and has some pretty big cliffhangers sprinkled throughout. I canā€™t wait to watch the new season. 

June can’t come soon enough!

So many favorite things this week, from shows to clothes and outdoor fun! I know Iā€™ll be planning to soak up some sunshine this weekend and get some family time in too! How do you plan to spend your weekend? Let me know in the comments below!

Have a great weekend and a fantastic Friday!!

Before we start on spring fun, I wanted to share my winter bucket list and recap it. 

I accomplished a lot of things I set out for, the only things I didnā€™t get done were because of our mild weather this winter.

Friday Favorites #30


Happy Friday and happy first Friday of March! This week, we said goodbye to February and hello to March! I know it may not feel like spring yet, it certainly doesnā€™t feel that way to me, but this new month brings the promise that we are closer to spring than winter and thatā€™s a major win! 

I have a fun roundup of favorite things this week. Letā€™s jump right in as I link up with ErikaĀ andĀ Andrea.

Disenchanted– I watched this movie a few weeks ago and kept forgetting to share it until now. Growing up, I loved the movie Enchanted with Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey and was so excited as an adult to learn they were making a sequel. Iā€™m glad I saw Disenchanted, I thought it was cute and liked how they brought the same characters and had little Easter eggs from other Disney movies, but didnā€™t think they needed a sequel. But if you are looking to enjoy some childhood nostalgia, this movie wouldnā€™t be a bad idea.

Fun movie for the whole family!

Everything Seasoned Crackers– I was on the hunt for some different crackers to enjoy with lunch and tried these crackers from Walmart and loved them. They have so much flavor and seasoning and go great with cheese, fruit, even dips or spreads. Definitely worth picking them up the next time you are on the hunt for a new cracker.Ā 

My new favorite cracker-so much flavor!

The Fablemanā€™s– In honor of award season, I watched The Fablemanā€™s and loved it. Itā€™s based on the story of Steven Spielberg and how he fell in love with movies and directing. Iā€™ve enjoyed so many of Spielbergā€™s movies and loved learning more about his backstory and childhood. Michelle Williams did a fantastic job and the cinematography was incredible. It may have been a long movie but it didnā€™t feel long at all, you totally get caught up in it. I loved every second and canā€™t wait to see how it does for the Academy Awards.

Apple Fitness Time to Walk– I have talked about some of Apple Fitnessā€™ different workout courses and have really been enjoying their Time to Walk series, different actors, actresses, athletes and world leaders narrate different stories or share personal experiences while walking, itā€™s very similar to a podcast. I really love listening to different peopleā€™s stories and it makes walking in colder weather so much better.

Outerbanks Season 3- Anyone else finish Outerbanks season 3 yet?! It came out last Thursday and Iā€™ve spent most of the past week catching up on it. There were definitely some surprises, cliffhangers and reunions this season but it was so good to catch up on this show. Not going to lie, seeing all the exterior scenes had me craving some warmer weather. If you have caught up on the new season, what did you think?!

What I’ve been watching this week.


Thatā€™s just a recap on some of my favorite things from this week. This weekend, Iā€™m looking forward to watching Daisy Jones and the Six. Iā€™ve been talking about it a lot from the book, to trailer and now the series. I have a feeling it will be one of my favorites next week.

Hello weekend plans!


I hope you enjoy this first weekend of March! Have a great weekend!
