5 Friday Favorites: June 3, 2022

 It's time for my Friday link up with  A Little Bit of Everything and Momfessionals. 

On Fridays I share things that made me happy from the week - a photo, a song, a quote, a beauty product, a recipe, a pair of cute shoes, etc. If it's a product, sometimes it's something I actually own and sometimes something I just saw online that gave me a smile. Sometimes it's serious and sometimes it's silly. I suppose I believe that God is in the simple details of life and yes, I can even find Him in a tube of lipstick.

Hello, all. The world is still all jacked up, right? 

As I said last week, there are more voices out there that are worthy of your time on the matters of the world. I have lots of thoughts, lots of reconsideration I'm doing on some things, lots and lots of prayers and lots of questions. 

Today, I'm going to bring back a few favorites from this week because the abundant life He promises us is full of joy, full of heartache, full of laughter, and full of suffering. There is a time for every season under heaven. And sometimes you just need to eat a steak sandwich and watch some guys from 1986 play volleyball on a beach to get you through. Here we go.

1. Marlboro Man Sandwiches.

The boys are home. ALL of the boys. So on our first family dinner together this summer, I decided to celebrate all the testosterone in the house and make these Marlboro Man Steak Sandwiches from the Pioneer Woman. (A Note: there is so much butter in this recipe. SO much.)

They were a big hit. Also, it came to my attention that not one of my children had seen the original Top Gun movie. And I felt like I had failed them as a parent. So, Steve and I mandated a family movie night after we ate our man-sandwiches and goodness gracious does that movie still hold up. I cannot wait to see the next one.

2. Tom's Willow Platform Sandals

I ordered these platform sandals and they are so cute. There were only seven other pairs of shoes on the website that I wanted to order including these. The Willows were the winners. 

3. Target Dress

Target has some really great pieces for Summer. It was 150 degrees give or take last week and all I wanted to wear was a flowy dress.  This dress is only $20. It comes in five or so colors. Easy breezy and it has pockets. 

4. Abbott Elementary

I've been so sad since I finished New Girl a few months ago and looking for a new show that isn't about dealing drugs or laundering money. I found it. Abbott Elementary is going to be like Parks and Rec in an elementary school and I am here for it. I've watched about five episodes. The characters are hilarious and endearing and I'm so glad someone out there is still making shows like this.

5. Baseball, Baseball, Baseball

I can't even pretend there is anything else on my mind, but baseball. These two weirdos are my favorite catchers in the land. They are headed to the Virginia State Tournament next week along with their teammates. Every game from here on out could be the last they play together and this has me way up in my feelings. So, if you happen notice me wandering the neighborhood sobbing and singing "If I could save time in a bottle" please just move along. It's FINE.

Y'all have a good weekend. Go Eagles.
