Happy Friday! It has been quite some time since I have done a Friday Favorites and I thrilled to be here this morning sharing my favorites from the week with you. What a great week we have had too. The weather has been awesome, our neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous as the leaves are changing, and we have a nice, relaxing weekend on tap.
Before we get into my favorites from the week, I need wish a Happy Birthday to my better half. Today, J celebrates his 34th Birthday and we can’t wait for him this afternoon so we can spend the weekend celebrating him! I am still working on a Birthday post for him, but until then, you can check out the tribute I wrote him last year– it all still rings true.
Friday’s Five Favorites
Now let’s get to my five favorites from this week:
Favorite Munchkin Moment
We have had just a blast this week and have spent a lot of time outside, but my absolute favorite munchkin moment had to be Thursday evening when we had some friends over for dinner. It is so much fun to hear my kids squealing with laughter with their friends- even M! I love to listen to C have conversations with her two friends and how excited she gets when she knows we are having friends come over.
Favorite Workout
I love when I can kick my own butt in my living room in 20 minutes and that is what I did on Tuesday! (You can find that workout on Instagram.) However, this week’s absolute favorite workout had to be tennis yesterday! On Thursdays I play tennis at a local club and love it. Yesterday we got to go outside and play on the clay courts and it was awesome! The weather was perfect, we had some great volleys and drills and I loved it.
Favorite Eat
I cooked all dinners at home this week and we ate one lunch out at McAlister’s. When we go to J’s office for lunch we always grab McCallisters. I can’t stop thinking about their autumn harvest squash soup. It is so good!
Favorite Item
I am a sucker for jackets and this one takes the cake! My picture does not do this cute jacket justice. I bought this last week from a local boutique, Karisma, and I love it! It is super soft, even the denim portion. If you see me in person soon, you can probably bet I will be wearing this. I love that you can dress it up or down. I threw it on with a plain white tank and my black workout crops earlier this week to go to my husband’s office for lunch and I didn’t look like I just walked out of the gym (which I had)!
Favorite Read
I don’t have one particular favorite read from this week and instead I have enjoyed reading a various number of blogs this week. If you haven’t checked out these blogs, do!
Sandra at Organic Runner Mom: She just went to a running retreat in Maine and I am swooning over her trip.
Sam at Pancake Warriors: I just discovered Sam and I am digging her recipes AND her workouts. Check her out!
Kathryn at Dancing to Running: You know I love a Fit Momma… especially one who is making exercising while pregnant a priority. I love reading Kathryn’s journey to her first baby and how she is listening to her body.
Time with friends, tennis, autumn soup, a new jacket, and some blog reading- my favorites from the week. I am off to enjoy this Friday and have a relaxing weekend with my sweet family. I hope you all do the same, fit friends!
Your turn- tell me!
Play along, choose a category and tell me one thing you are loving this week!
I haven’t played tennis in a long time! So glad that you are enjoying it so much. Fun way to cross train and have fun with friends.
I am loving that my fall marathon is over and I’m looking forward to cheering for everyone running in Chicago on Sunday. Stress free!
That jacket looks awesome!!! My favorite item this week is my foam roller. My calves are killing me this week after Ragnar!
That jacket is super cute! I was at Banana Republic yesterday and the whole store was 40% off. Some things were 50% off. Gotta love that!
Ok I’m playing and I’m picking favorite item and this week I got in my Naturebox and my favorite item Sourdough Cheddar Pretzels! They are wonderful but I have a hard time putting them down!
I would love to try playing on a clay court. We don’t have any here. I love tennis and especially in the Fall when it is starting to get a bit cooler and the kids are back in school!
That soup looks amazing!!! My favorite this week is my strawberries and cream protein shake that I have consumed all week!
That squash soup looks delicious! My favorite item this week are my maternity leggings. So comfortable!
The bloggers you’ve listed are some of my fav too! Especially love reading Kathryn’s race recaps.
Cute jacket! My favorite item this week is my foam roller. Not because I actually like foam rolling, but because it is making a huge difference in how my legs are feeling.
Those girls are adorable. Nothing like the sound of girl giggles to put a smile on your face. And that soup really looks delicious. I wish my weather would cool down so I can get into soup mode.
The soup looks delicious! Love the jacket.
I love the looks of that denim and sweat jacket! So cute. The weather has been awesome this week in Michigan, too. I love fall! Thanks so much for linking up. Have a great weekend and Happy Birthday to your hubby!
I love that jacket!!! I am loving American Horror Story Freak Show which came out on Netflix.
Favorite item would have to be this new vest I got that is perfect for fall AND on sale
Fall is my favorite season and I love all fall attire!
I like summer the best BUT fall attire. I think I would love fall more if in my head I didn’t know what was coming too soon… winter.
