My first favorite was our New Year's Eve from last week. We started having a NYE party a few years ago and it it has grown to be one of my favorites for lots of different reasons!
I didn't take many pictures from the night, but I love being able to spend it with great friends!
It's quickly become a favorite for my kids, too. They love being able to stay up late, counting down to midnight, and celebrating with everyone!
Plus, I love the start of a new year. It's great to have a fresh start, a new beginning, and kind of a reset to life...even if it is just a date on the calendar. The mindset of starting something new just refreshes me and gets me excited about the future.
I had some Amazon gift cards I'd gotten for Christmas so ordered this Mom Mode sweatshirt the second I saw it.
If there has ever been an outfit that describes my life, it is this one. Mom sweatshirt, Spanx leggings, comfy shoes, a big mom bag and Chick-fil-a sweet tea in hand. Ha! The sweatshirt comes in several colors, is light weight (so I can totally see wearing it into spring), and just really cute for a casual day of #momlife.
It's very rare that I share a book before Book Club day, but I LOVED this one and have been telling everyone I can about it.
Daisy Jones and the Six tells about the rise and fame of a 70's rock band on their way to be world famous and explains the mystery behind their immediate breakup. It is told through an interview style and reads as if it is a biography or memoir. It felt SO real. I even Googled at one point to see if it was about a real band. I really loved listening to this book on Audible because every character is a different narrator and to me, that just makes it so much more believable. It was so different than a typical novel and so creatively written. I just loved it and it is going to be hard to top as my favorite book of the year.
I don't really love to cook and I think part of that reason is because often times it is hard to find something the entire family will eat. This week I was reminded of one of my family's favorite winter meals. I made this Taco Soup and I can't remember the last time I had so many praises for something I made for dinner.
It might not look really pretty, but I promise it is so good. It is a favorite of mine because it is SO easy to make in the crockpot. I was introduced to this Taco Soup when my friend Anna made it for us one Halloween a few years ago. You can see the full recipe I shared HERE.
My last favorite of the week is a new Netflix series I just started watching. I honestly can't' believe I just wrote that sentence. My very closest friends know this about me, but I DO NOT watch any type of TV. I just don't have time or don't make the time. However, when I saw someone share about CHEER on Facebook earlier this week, I was so intrigued.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and we'll see you all back here next week!
Loved this post!
