Friday Favorites

How is it September already? Fall is sort of here. Well it is in my books because once September hits, I feel all the Fall feels. Football, PSL, cinnamon and spice, cool mornings and Fall tv. I am so excited for the next couple of months.

Let's get onto my Friday favorites and happenings for the week.

ONE. As I mentioned on Wednesday, I recently finished All the Missing Girls and started The Couple Next Door. I blew through the Couple Next Door in just over a day. I couldn't put it down. Just when you think you have it figured out, something else is added on. It was really good. I definitely recommend it. Since I finished that one so quickly, I downloaded The Marriage Lie to read. I heard good things about it, so we shall see. Also did you know that you can read your Kindle books on your pc? I didn't and it helped when I took my breaks at work and wanted to read more.

TWO. Biana mentioned a cutting board that she recently tried out. It allows you to cut your fruits and veggies and then has a convenient scoop side to it. This was something I was interested in from the minute I saw it. I am clumsy and will chop veggies and then on the way over to the stove, I somehow drop some of my veggies. This will totally help me out. I ordered it right away and it should be here this afternoon.

THREE. A few weeks ago when we went to Rory's cousins wedding, one of his cousins had the coolest stand/holder for phone. I asked her about it, played with it a bit and decided I must have one. Plus I saw it at the Discovery Museum last week and knew that I needed it. Even if I get a new iPhone in a couple of weeks (please let me be one of those people who gets one). It is called Popsocket. You can bend it different ways to use it as a stand or hold it in your fingers so you won't drop your phone on your head. You know for those early morning or late night IG scrolling. This isn't a sponsored post, but just something that is so cool and beneficial.

FOUR. My dear blogging friend, turned real life friend, Emily lost her mother-in-law to a battle with cancer and an infection this week. My heart breaks for her and her family. Her MIL seemed like such an amazing lady. I only read about her, but I am so sad that her two boys won't get to have their grandma around as they grow up. It makes me think of my parents and my in-laws. You never know what life throws at you and I just want to cherish all the memories and moments that we have with our parents and grandparents. Just a little reminder to hug your family and tell them that you love them. Also, keep Emily and her family in your thoughts and prayers. She truly is an amazing friend.

FIVE. Did you grow up eating Sloppy Joes? I did and I used to make them all the time. I had a recipe down to a science (in my single days), but I haven't made it in years. Then I came across a recipe this week and I hope to make it next week and bring it back old school for my girls. Have you tried this one? Are you a Sloppy Joes fan?
