Friday Favorites: August 2024

If you have been a blog reader for a while, you know I love a good sunrise or sunset! I even dedicated a whole post on my “sky photos” that I have taken.

I love how God uses the sun as a universal constant our planet relies on. Everyone has access to the sun, it is consistent and reliable, and it is the source of life to living things. Basically the sun is like THE SON. God created the sun and He created you and I. And like the sun, moon, and stars, we were made to praise the Lord.

There is a super sweet moment that happens just about every afternoon around 4:15pm. Our sweet neighbors come over to see if Madley can play. And the answer is always yes! Sometimes they play at their house, sometimes at our house, sometimes outside. I love their sweet friendship! Has there ever been a top bunk so adorable?! The answer is no.

I bought Spanx’ black jumpsuit. I am wearing it tonight to the HOF Kansas State Athletics Banquet tonight. I LOVE it! I think it will be well worth the price.

This was a tough one. I have a lot of precious pictures on my phone from August. However, I must pick one!

How adorable are these two girls?! Tiersyn shared with Madley what she was wearing for the first day of school and Madley came home from their playdate and had to do the same. Instead of being annoyed, Tiersyn was flattered and excited. She is the sweetest friend and role model for Madley. *Notice the matching bracelets!*

I can’t pick just one blog post for the month, so I will give you a few.

The blog post that generated the most views was my Spotlight Post on my sister, Trish! The post I was most excited about was my TEN KEYS TO A FANTASTIC FALL. The one post this month that surprised me was my Top Ten Healthy Snacks post. Lots of people were interested in healthy snacks, but I guess I would want to know all my friends’ go to healthy snacks too.

I have not done youtube workout videos this month. It has been a nice change of pace. However, I have still stuck to a plan. Here is my calendar of my weekly workouts. I actually really enjoyed this chest/tricep workout with abs/cardio mixed in.

How fun are these pumpkin pillows?! I am so excited to decorate our house next week. The question is… do these pillows go on the couch or beds? Come back to find out!
