Friday Favorites

October 22, 2021 /

I almost didn’t post today but then I decided to share things that made me happy this month. They were not purchases even though those were fun but they were moments and time spent doing things that I love!

Outdoors Fire with the Family

We’ve been making fires on Sunday nights as hubby is usually finishing work on Friday and we are at church part of Saturday evening. We love this time hanging out by the fire, eating treats, playing games (sometimes) and just hanging out. This past one was even nicer has the weather has cooled off in the evenings.

Running

Ran my 2nd 5K in 2 months and placed again. This race benefited a local K9 police department and the run was scenic and mostly flat. It was a first race so a smaller group therefore easier to place! Still, I was impressed with my pace of 8.40 per mile.

Snacks

I’ve been baking more in an attempt to spend less on snacks and the boys have enjoyed the special treats.

New Recipes

I’ve been trying some new recipes and the Magnolia Table cookbooks are still my favorites. This was delicious albeit not low in calories! All that yummy cream and cream cheese but hey, the spinach and sundried tomatoes and chicken should count for something. By the way, cooking a whole chicken in the instant pot is life changing!

Hiking

Along with running 2 to 3 times a week, I have been hiking once a week. I am really enjoying the daily exercise and haven’t missed a day in 2 weeks.

Sunrises

We have been enjoying some really cool foggy mornings and pretty sunrises (dropping off the boys at school is at a perfect time for that right now) and  I finally got my oldest to snap a picture for me. I wish I could stop and enjoy the views a little but the brief look of the scenery is enought to make my day brighter!

A bientôt!
