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.
Hi! Hope y'all had the best Christmas and are enjoying some down time with your people. This is going to be really quick because I gotta go make more food and watch more movies and pretend to be absolutely horrified by the inappropriate humor of 20 something year old boys instead of completely delighted by it. Here are some favorite things from the week.
1. A Fine Sight to See
A really great book on leadership which takes you through the book of Exodus. Sophie Hudson is hilarious and wise.
2. Aerie Waffle Knit
The perfect top for the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.
3. Lobe Wonders
I've mentioned these before, but they are a must-have for me. Even if you don't wear heavy earrings these little sticker patches are awesome for keeping studs and hoops in place and preventing drag on your ears.
4. Aloha Beach Bag
I went to a Favorite Things party a few weeks ago and one of the gals gifted this Aloha beach bag. There are tons of different patterns and they're 20% off today.
5. One Photo from the Week
There was a record low this year in the picture-taking department. I just didn't take many at all - not a single one of the entire family or even all three boys at once. So here's one and it's a pretty good representation of our week. Last year we had lost my mom in March and then my uncle in December. I got back from Texas just a few days before Christmas and we didn't even decorate our tree. I wanted to cancel the whole thing. This year the Lord has redeemed so much hurt. Grief will never end, but in Luke 6:21 Jesus says, "Blessed are you who weep, for you shall laugh." And He was right. He made sure of it when He gifted me these fools. They are healing me.
Have a lovely weekend. Thanks for stopping by in 2024. I'm hoping to make some updates to this space in 2025. After 12 years, it's about time. I'm a real go-getter, don't ya think? ;-) I hope you'll keep reading! Happy New Year and as usual, HOOK EM HORNS.
