Three on Thursday

-
Linking up with Dani and Michael today for their Three on Thursday link-up! I love link-ups that have prompts. It's a cool way to find out more about the bloggers you read and engage with that you might not have otherwise ever discovered. 

Three Creature Comforts: reruns of NCIS, rewatching favorite (and cheesy) movies [Burlesque, Mamma Mia!, The Holiday], my morning coffee

Three Comfort Foods: mac and cheese, chicken tenders, turkey club 
I had the Honey Chipotle Crispers from Chili's this week. Yum.

Three New Recipes Attempted: one entree and a couple desserts- breaded buffalo chicken (recipe adapted/ recreated from HelloFresh), apple pie, Molotof 
Molotof

Three Things Entertaining Me Right Now: blogging, working on our daughter's room, window shopping online for home decor

Three Shows or Movies Recently Watched: Bad Mom's Christmas, Manifest, The Movies That Made Us

Top Three Songs Played: anything by Luke Combs; God, Your Mama, and Me by Florida Georgia Line; Prayed For You by Matt Stell
 I love me some Luke. 

Three Recent Purchases: 2 mats to layer on my front stoop; a new quilt for our bed from the Hearth & Hand line; a couple of devotionals to read daily written for angel mamas
Three Things Keeping Me Sane: my hubby and (somedays) my dogs; warmer weather/ sunshine; my daily cleaning routine

Three Things That I Miss Most (people, places, things): running errands; meeting friends for coffee or dinner; seeing my coworkers everyday

Three Things I'm Looking Forward To: a haircut, getting a pedicure, and roaming the aisles of Home Goods. #noshame

    Ooh girl, I still have my gift certificate to Venus from Christmas... Not thrilled that literally the ENTIRE thing will be on a pedi, but eh, what can I do...

    I have both HomeGoods and TJ Maxx within walking distance from my apartment, and I miss browsing the aisles so much! I love buffalo chicken too, so I'm heading over to check out that recipe. Thank you for linking up!

Friday Favorites! A hodge podge of random things

The other day I was going through Goodreads, picking out books I wanted to add to my library wishlist (I always say, searching for books is a completely separate hobby from reading, lol!). I came across Fredrick Bachman's newest release,  Anxious People . I always look at the quotes page to see if I vibe with the author's writing style. Man, does this book have some nuggets of wisdom! There are so many poignant quotes. This one resonated with me, just thinking about how overwhelming life can get when all those little things pile up: "Because the terrible thing about becoming an adult is being forced to realize that absolutely nobody cares about us, we have to deal with everything ourselves now, find out how the whole world works. Work and pay bills, use dental floss and get to meetings on time, stand in line and fill out forms, come to grips with cables and put furniture together, change tires on the car and charge the phone and switch the coffee machine off and not forget

coffee chat

If you and I had coffee, we would likely get a table outside. Mask mandates have been lifted here, so we would be able to feel a bit "normal" while sitting at a coffee shop with our drinks. I would probably put way too much creamer or syrup in my coffee, and you'd tease me and ask if I want some coffee with my cream. I'd roll my eyes but laugh because you're right. I love me a good indulgent coffee. It's the one "unhealthy" thing I won't budge on.  We would catch up, since it's probably been a really long time since we have gotten together in person. We'd agree that while facetime/ Zoom chats were an okay substitute, nothing compares to face-to-face girl time.  I'd tell you about how the weight on my shoulders feels a bit less "heavy" even though every now and again there are still some really dark days. I would admit that though they don't come as frequently anymore, they do come out of the blue. I'd talk about how

Our Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Monday, y'all. I gotta be honest, with everything going on I completely forgot it was Memorial Day weekend! Here's what we got up to.  Friday was an extremely productive day. I got a ton checked off my deep cleaning to-do list, including cleaning out my toaster, deep cleaning the fridge, scrubbing down the cabinets, and taking apart and cleaning the vacuum. I also meal prepped my favorite low-carb Mexican beef casserole and cleaned my kitchen floor. Whew!  I didn't sleep well Friday night, so I slept in late Saturday morning. We had a late brunch and got back to work. Hubby worked in Isabela's room, while I tackled more off my deep cleaning to-do list. Then we worked together to hook up the fridge so we could finally have a working ice maker. By the end of that project I had to reclean my entire kitchen, from dusting to reorganizing cabinets to washing the floor. It was dinner time when we finished- we were both too pooped to cook, so we opted for Portuguese take
