Friday Favorites 5

I can't believe it's Friday already! This week has flown by and my to-do list just keeps getting longer and longer. I've been keeping up with friends (and their mamas) all week and it's been such a blessing to be close to my people again. On Sunday night, I went to a show with some of my oldest friends. We saw a band I had never heard of before but I am officially hooked on their music. Monday night rolled around and I always like to do something on Mondays to make them a little less miserable. I went to dinner with my friend Jenn and her mama. After, Jenn and I curled up on the couch with tea and watched The Voice. On Tuesday, I went to my friend's house to have a crafty afternoon with her mom! Last night, I caught up with a friend from a previous job. 

It's been such a peacefully busy week. It's the little things, I tell ya!

Favorite Song

The Gabe Dixon Band "All Will Be Well" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2-3ooX_XkQ

Tell me you're not in a better mood after hearing that song. It is so calming and it's always the first song I put on in my car. 

Favorite Quote

This quote reminds me of a conversation I was having the other day with my best friend's mom. All these issues that happen in our lives seem so silly in the grand scheme of things. We have our health and each other. With the holidays coming up, it's so easy to get irritated by little obstacles or if things don't go as planned. We were saying the other day, "Ya know, if I'm stressed about XYZ and that's the biggest thing in my life right now, then I live a very blessed life." This is a month dedicated towards gratitude! 

Favorite Indulgence

Candles. Candles. Candles. My girl Jenn knows what I'm talking about. Now that the sun goes down at 5 PM, I need a little more light in my life! There is nothing like being snuggled up in bed and lighting some candles to have a romantic date with your Netflix account. Candles make all the difference! This Cozy Nights candle is a new one Jenn just picked up from Target. I have a slight obsession with it and will be getting myself one real soon. 

Favorite Beverage

After meeting up with my friend last night, I stopped by my cousins house. We went on an impromptu date to the Pittsford Dairy for hot chocolate. It was the perfect treat on a cold November night! I know these boys are getting older and more embarrassed by me but the time I spend with them is really special to me. AND they confirmed last night that they are going to Disney in February for my race! I couldn't be happier. These guys rock.

Favorite Mom

MY MOM. DUH. It was her birthday on Wednesday and I can't wait to have some quality mother-daughter time this weekend. She is everything to me. Thank you for giving me my voice, and I mean that on so many levels.
