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. Hope all of you had a great week. Drew came home from college this week which was both happy and sad because it means the baseball season is over. His team fought really hard in the first round of the playoffs - playing all three games of a three-game series but unfortunately lost two out of three. It was a fun season and we had a blast traveling around Virginia to cheer on such a great group of boys. Here are some favorites from the week.
1. Harrisonburg, Virginia
Drew's team played against Bridgewater College which is right outside Harrisonburg, Virginia. Steve and I had the best time in this little town. We had been there to visit James Madison University with Joe when he was looking at schools and once or twice for baseball tournaments, but this was the first time we spent some time really exploring the town. We ate breakfast tacos and had the BEST Blood Orange Margaritas on the rooftop at Magnolia"s Taco and Tequila Bar. We had some good BBQ Saturday night at Jimmy Madison's. I also had time to shop at some adorable boutiques before the game including The Yellow Button and The Lady Jane Shop. 5 Stars for Harrisonburg.
2. Drinks On Me Coasters
I found these coasters at The Lady Jane Shop. I searched for them on Amazon as well and found various sets available here.
3. Design Works Inc Journal
I found this journal at The Yellow Button and thought it was so pretty. but it was the snark that got me to purchase it.
4. The Four Seasons
I really liked this show. Truth be told, I'll watch anything with Tina Fey. I thought it was a funny and compelling look at long-term relationships - both friendships and marriages. Not sure it would be a favorite among younger generations, plus you DO NOT want to watch it (at least one of the episodes) with your kids, no matter if they're old enough or not. Unless you don't get easily embarrassed, I suppose. If you don't then, congrats, but you've been warned.
5. Welp. Shocker. It's the Baseball Players, again.
The baseball bros will always be my favorite. This group of boys brought us so much joy this year. I have always hated the end of any sports season, but Drew was really close to a lot of the seniors which made it even harder to stomach this time. Watching big, strong athletes hug each other with tears in their eyes turns me into a pile of mush. Once again, as I have found so many times, there is crying in baseball.
If I added up all the innings I've watched in the past 20 years it would be in the thousands upon thousands. We've got some more to come, and I won't miss a minute.
Y'all, have a great weekend.
