Friday’s Five Favorites #36

November 6, 2015 By Hollie 4 Comments

Good morning, Friday. I have already been to the gym this morning for an early morning workout with Tracy and am enjoying a quiet cup of coffee while writing this post.  I have a busy Friday ahead of me that will also include stepping foot back into the classroom to be the guest reader to a group of 1st graders- I am excited!

Friday Favorites

Before my day gets started, I am here to share my favorites from the week.  It has been a rough week at our house the stomach flu, teething and just too many days spent in the house.  I am thrilled we are on the mend and ready for a fun weekend.  Sharing my favorites from the week helps me remember the silver lining of a tough week.

Favorite Munchkin Moment

Although these two were under the weather this week, I sure did soak up the snuggles I got from them.  I can’t remember the last time C fell asleep on me and it happened on Wednesday.  She wanted me to hold her while she watched a movie on the couch and she fell right asleep on me.  I just stayed put for awhile.  Luckily M was also napping upstairs so I didn’t move C until I heard him wake up from his nap.

Once I heard him I rolled her onto the couch where she slept for another 2 hours!  I didn’t want to chance M waking her up so he and I went into my room after nap where he and I snuggled for a good amount of time too.  I hated them not feeling well, especially C who had the stomach flu, but the rare snuggles were sure nice.

Favorite Workout

The last two weeks I have gotten to get back to Piyo.  I always make these goals to do Piyo once a week and I only do it if I can actually go to a live class.  Unfortunately I can’t always make the live early morning class, but when I can I try my best to get there.   I love the midweek stretch and meeting my friends early in the morning.  I am a terrible stretcher so this is awesome for me and my body is liking it.  I also like that I get home by 6:30 am showered and dressed by 7am and have the rest of the day.

Favorite Eat

Nothing I made this week tickled my fancy as much as the suishi I had J pick me up from the grocery last night.  After a long week, I didn’t feel like eating leftovers and suishi just sounded awesome- and it was.

Favorite Read

Let’s turn this week’s Favorite Read into Favorite Watch.  I haven’t been reading much this week because I have spent my normal reading time watching “Friday Night Lights”.  I am not one who really watches much TV and it is hard for me to find a series I really like and I love this one.  We are still on season 1 and I am really enjoying it.

Favorite Item

You know you are in your 30s when you get excited about a new coffee maker and that I am!  We are late to the single cup coffee maker game, but we’ve made the switch…. well, sort of.  We finally purchased the Hamilton Beach 2-way coffee maker that can make a full pot or a single cup and I love it!  It is perfect for the afternoons when I need just one cup of coffee and not a full pot.

Sharing my favorites from the week this this Friday's Five Favorites post.

And now I am off to tackle the day and hoping the day and weekend will bring me as much happiness as snuggles, Piyo, suishi, “Friday Night Lights” and a new coffee maker.  Take a moment yourself and think about what you are loving this week, I promise it will help you look at life through a much more positive lens.

Your turn- tell me!

    I just got the Piyo dvds and I’m really liking them! Live classes don’t happen too often in our tiny town. :)

      That is fun, Kate! I hope you enjoy them. I can’t do the DVDs. I have them, but have never been good at doing DVDs so I am super glad we have a live class.

    Oh goodness, those rare naps on momma are so, so precious. I feel like after 9 months, they evaporated and then kind of reappeared a little in the past few months (mine is 17 months) Maybe once or twice a month after a not so great nap he’ll fall back asleep on me and it’s amazing.
