Happy Friday, y’all! Welcome to Friday Favorites. How was your week? Mine was super busy. This was the first week of classes so everyone was oh-so busy. Next week will be a bit of the same, but a little bit slower. I have a couple of library sessions scheduled, so I’m excited about that. Did you see this week’s Style Imitating Art post? It always amazes me that we can all look at the same thing and see something so different, yet incredibly similar. I know that sounds convoluted, but take a look at the post and you’ll see what I mean. Are you a baker? You need to check…

Hi, welcome to the first edition of Friday Favorites of 2020! Can you believe it? Not gonna lie, I’m still kind of gobsmacked. Last year flew by, but I’m not complaining. It was a hard year for my family. Usually I put together a post with plans for the coming year, but I decided against that this year.…

I’ve spent all week at home in bed with some sort of weird virus. So far, I’ve been shot up with steroids twice, put on antibiotics, and given an inhaler. I’m so over whatever this is… Sweet Bleu has been the perfect nurse pup. She’s barely left my side since Monday…

Do you have anything planned for the weekend? We’re planning to visit my family in Mississippi. It’s been a few months since I’ve seen them and my mom had surgery a couple of weeks ago, so I need to check on her. And my nephews are itching to see me {I suspect they want…

This week just flew by… I spent the last few days in Baton Rouge at the LOUIS Users Conference {a conference for library consortia}. The sessions were so interesting and I can honestly say that I learned things that I can use in our library. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw my pictures from the…

Seriously, I should just start calling this post “Saturday Loves” or something because I NEVER post this thing on Fridays. What is wrong with me? LOL 1. I’m loving this scent from Bath and Body Works. Usually, I go for more exotic scents but I was in the store, smelled this and immediately felt happy. It’s not a…

Did you have a good week? Mine was long… Our college went to New Orleans for a system conference; it was a lot of fun. I mean, it’s New Orleans, how can it be anything other than fun? My friend, Ree, took me to this place called Willa Jean for dessert and it was…

Hi, it’s been a crazy stressful week. The Hubs is back in Pennsylvania taking care of his parents – his dad is dealing with the side effects of his cancer treatments and his mother was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer. It’s all so overwhelming. Keep them in your prayers. I have a thing for monkeys, so when I saw this little guy in the window, I just had to take his picture. I really needed the smile. Did you know…
