Friday Favorites

Friday, you get more beautiful every time I see you.

There’s something about cramming five days worth of work into four days that makes me feel like this.

But it’s Friday and the sun is shining and God is good, and we are going to join A Little Bit of Everything and Momfessionals to share some favorites.

If you have elementary aged children, I cannot recommend this book enough. The students in my third grade class LOVE it and ask any time we are transitioning if we have enough time to read “Edward Tulane“. I also recommended it to my sister who has a son in fourth grade, and they sent me a Marco Polo the other night after they finished it at bedtime. It’s a great story.

I’m a big fan of crocheting. I’m not a big fan of Star Wars. I don’t understand it. I haven’t watched a single movie. I asked a student last year if the “mandalorian” was a space car. It’s just not my thing, but one of my good friends loves it. Her son is due in early November, so I crocheted this little number. I found the pattern on Etsy and went to my home away from home-JoAnn’s for yarn and went to town. I don’t understand it, but picturing a baby boy in this hat is really filling me with joy.

If you’ve been reading along, then you know I have an affinity for Bob Ross. I went to his museum in Muncie, Indiana for my spring break for goodness sakes. I just watched the Netflix documentary about him last weekend, and I have allllll sorts of mixed thoughts and feelings about it. Watch it. Let me know how you feel because I have so few people to commiserate with on this.

I’ll go ahead and tell you right now my list of favorites have zero to do with Bob Ross. I do not understand Kat’s love for that soft spoken man. There. I said it.

I have a list of things that if I see them on TV, I will stop and watch no matter what: Steel Magnolias, anything about Casey Anthony, anything about Scott Peterson, Father of the Bride, The Parent Trap, and anything about 9/11. Just call me multifaceted.

I LOVE a good 20/20 episode. An enjoyable 20/20 starts the weekend off on the right…yet sometimes murdery foot.

Do yall remember this picture?

Because I do. Tonight’s episode features these babies 20 years later, and there is a 100% chance I’ll cry.

I purchased this charcoal face mask a few weeks ago. I have heard great things about it but never bought it because it is a little pricey for a face mask, but you get what you pay for, and you’re getting something that works. It minimizes your pores, calms your skin, and basically removes the gunk-that’s a technical term. When you have it on, you can actually see the spots where there is excess oil that it’s just grabbing away-gross but gratifying. It works. Get it.

My little sorority all started school this week. Claire’s in Pre-K, and Annie and Ellie just go two mornings a week, but I honestly felt like I was sending them to college. Bless their hearts; they all did so well and will probably soon by applying to medical school.

That’s all for today! Please please leave a comment if you watched the Bob Ross documentary. We are both dying to know what you think. That’s a big, fat lie. I don’t care, but Kat does deeply, so please amuse her.
