5 Friday Favorites: May 20, 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.

Happy Friday, Friends!!! I've got two of my three kids home this weekend, a district championship baseball game tonight, I'm delivering the message at Aldie Methodist on Sunday and it's going to be in the 90s this weekend! So if you see me today, it's going to be pretty much like this:

There will be a lot more food to buy and more shoes in the hallway and more half-full plastic cups of water all over the house, but I am thrilled that summer is here. Here are some other favorites from the week.

1. Madewell Tie-Neck Tunic Top

I ordered this top yesterday, so I can't officially claim it's a favorite, but I have high hopes. I have one top from Madewell and I've had it for five years and wear it all the time. I'm hoping this one and I will have a long term relationship as well. It's 25% off today with the code LONGWEEKEND.

2. Short Sleeve Tunic Top 

Since it's getting warmer here, I also ordered this top from Amazon. I'm looking for some short sleeve casual tunics to wear with leggings that will cover my bum because my arms might be ready for summer, but my legs are still in mid-February mode. This one comes in lots of different colors and some patterns.

3. The Mod Necklace

This is one of my new favorite necklaces from Park Lane. It's called the Mod and since I'm great at selfies, you can barely see it in the photo. You're welcome. It comes with a white or black enamel circle. It's $82, but Park Lane offers buy two items at full price and get up to 4 at 1/2 price with the full price items being your lowest priced items! What?! So, if I'm using my trusty calculator, I find that if you buy a pair of these and a pair of these and then add the Mod, you just got yourself three items for $91 plus free shipping instead of one necklace for $82. BOOM!

4. Women's Tiered Gingham Maxi Skirt

This length in a skirt does not work on me at all, so I have to abstain. However, someone needs this skirt this summer. Grad party, bridal or baby shower, just running around with your flip flops and a t-shirt? I think it is so darn cute. Get to it, tall girls. It's only $35.00 at Old Navy today.

5. Thought You Should Know - Morgan Wallen

I will end with this today, friends. And then you will hate me because if you listen to this song you will cry into your coffee all morning. The other night I was up late working and my son came in right before he went to sleep and said, "Hey, Mom, you should listen to this new song by Morgan Wallen called Thought You Should Know. Just listen to it." He said it real casual - as if it wouldn't destroy me so that I had to shut down my laptop and take to my bed. 

One of my friends in my Bible Study, Cornelia - who happens to be 94 years old - recently said that her son told her not long ago that every time she prayed for him, he could feel it. So when I heard this song, it made me take a deep breath. Keep praying, Mamas. They'll know some day. If not now, some day.  

Gah . . .the little boys turning into men can really be a kick in the gut, can't it? Deep breaths, Mamas.

Bonus Favorite: Play-off Baseball

Let's go, Freedom Eagles.

Y'all have a great weekend!
