Hello friends! Good Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a great time. Ours went by quickly — part of it was spent in Arkansas and then we flew back home to Tucson.
We had a great time with the family and enjoyed so many fun adventures.
Some highlights:
the alligator farm was a HUGE hit
a beautiful hike,
strolling and shopping in Hot Springs,
the Christmas lights at Garvan Woodland Gardens,
and lunch at The Root.
(gf chicken salad sandwich, salad and sweet potato fries. 10/10)
What are you up to this weekend? It’s the Christmas party of destiny and we’re going to get our Christmas tree. After being a group fake tree for so many years, we switched to a real one a few years ago and I don’t see myself going back. They smell AMAZING.
It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! Here I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your favorites too, so shout out something you love in the comments section below.

I love this audiobook so far, especially since I got into re-watching old times The friends episodes. It’s sad and comforting to hear his voice and it was a loss this year that hit me really hard.
I saw They fall for Christmas on Netflix while wrapping presents – trying to get everything done early – and I have to admit… it was great.
