Friday’s are the best. We all know this. So in an effort to make Friday’s even better for you, I’ve decided to start pulling together a Friday Favorites blog post containing all my favorite finds from the week! I’ll include everything from favorite recipes and craft ideas, to best sale finds and fun seasonal activities that I’ve done or tried that week! Who’s excited!??
As always, if there’s something you’d like to see more of (or less of), let me know in the comments! Or if you try any of these things yourself, I’d love to hear your feedback!
Favorite Recipe: Slow Cooker Jalapeño Popper Chicken Taquitos by Creme de la Crumb
My hubby and I were looking to mix it up for dinner. We stumbled upon this recipe by Tiffany from Creme de la Crumb and it caught our eye because 1) it was a slow cooker meal, and 2) we love anything with jalapeños! I was a little weary because it involved the slow cooker AND the oven, but contrary to my initial thoughts, it was so easy! We threw the ingredients in the slow cooker, then right before dinner time we rolled the cooked ingredients into tortillas and baked for 10-15 minutes. Guys, they were DELICIOUS! I’ve included a picture of the end result below – but check out Creme de la Crumb’s site for full recipe.
Favorite DIY: Cute Mini Pumpkins by Homey Oh My
I’m loving this easy DIY pumpkin idea from Homey Oh My! I tried a few different designs and I loved how they turned out. White pumpkins are the perfect festive touch for your tablescape, front porch, or mantle decor! They’re so easy to make extra festive with just a simple black sharpie.
Favorite Purchase: Trader Joe’s Fancy Pumpkins!
These fancy (and gorgeous!) pumpkins are $5.99 apiece at Trader Joe’s and are the perfect way to decorate your front porch. I love how each one looks unique and adds such great interest to any fall decor.
Also, how amazing is this plant?! $13 from Costco, guys!!
Favorite Song: Don’t Be Shy – Jared Douglas
One might say I’m biased because Jared is my brother-in-law, but I’m not. He’s just that good. I’ve listened to Jared’s new song Don’t Be Shy about 10,000 times and I’m not even close to tired of it. I’m not even going to tell you to check him out (link above) because if you choose not to you’re the one missing out. 😉 But really…go. Now.
Favorite Kids Item: Dada by Jimmy Fallon
At almost 5 months, Macey is just starting to get into books. Granted, we only make it to page three before she loses interest, but she loves the colors and pictures in this book! It’s such a cute story so Jonathan and I don’t mind reading it (or the first three pages) over and over! 😉 We also will always have a special place in our heart for this book because we brought it to our maternity shoot before Macey was born (see below photo of Jonathan adorably pretending to read it to little baby shoes, LOL)!
Favorite Accessory: Warrior Bib from Baublebar
I’m loving this piece. It pumps up an every day look and can be worn with everything from a basic tee or flannel, to your favorite cocktail dress or leather jacket! I’m usually a gold girl, but when I do wear silver it has to be a piece I really love, and this is it!
How did you like my first Friday Favorites post? I’m hoping to put these posts out every Friday or every other Friday depending on what fun items I’ve discovered the week prior! If there are any specific categories you’d like included in these posts, let me know in the comments below!
Happy Friday!
