Friday Faves
Hi friends! Happy Friday, and happy Christmas weekend! I’d love to hear what you have planned for the weekend. Did you travel or stay home? I’m looking forward to the weekend at home with the fam. We don’t have a lot of official plans, but will likely enjoy some Christmas movies, a drive around to check out the lights, and some delicious food.
(Some holes have mysteriously been poked into the bottom of the presents haha.)
I’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup! This is where I share some of my favorite things and finds from the week. If you’d like to join in the party, please comment below with something you’re loving.
Fitness + fashion:
Still obsessed with this black sweater. I wear it all the time, and just ordered another one in grey. It’s the perfect throw-on top that matches everything.
The workout advent calendar is coming to an end! 4 days left! Here’s the link if you want to sprint out the finish with us.
A workout you can do anywhere.
Love + life:
The kindest surprise. Monday was a pretty hard day for me. I’m not going into detail at this point, but we’re dealing with a challenging and emotionally exhuasting situation. By the end of the day, I’d hit the wall. I was weepy and overwhelmed, so I headed to the gym for some endorphins when the Pilot got home from work at 8pm. He knew that it had been a stressful day, and when I got back from my workout, he gave me a much-needed hug, and led me to the bathroom, which he’d transformed into a spa. He had the bath running, tons of candles lit, a glass of Prosecco, a plate of strawberries and little chocolates, spa music playing, and my robe hanging nearby. I almost started crying again. It was the most beautiful surprise, and something I had no clue I needed. I haven’t used our garden tub since we’ve been here (usually I take quick showers with P watching me haha), and it was amazing.

Merry Christmas! My husband and I are staying home this year so I’m excited to just relax and enjoy some movie time. We’re planning on watching Star Wars this evening and doing a Christmas Buffet for lunch at the Aquarium! I’m sorry to hear you had a bad day this week. It’s so sweet that your husband set that up for you!
Merry Christmas to you & the family!! Also sending a giant hug for the challenges – OX Gina (from Mass)

<3 for your recent struggles. My heart melted just reading the Pilot's surprise to you! How does the TJ's cranberry kombucha compare to GT? Is it a worthy contender?

Oh, I hope everything is ok friend! You really did win the lottery of men. Enjoy the holiday weekend!
I’m glad you have him for support. During tough times of struggle make it seems better with supportive husbands or family to help.

This time of year can be crazy, especially for children. Their schedules are off leading to major meltdowns and challenges. So, if your struggles are of the dealing with children kind, I am with you. The struggle is real! : )

I knew it! The Pilot is Prince Charming IRL! Surrounding you with love and light and peace and hope during your challenging time.

I always open new windows of whichever of your Friday Faves intrigue me, and by the time I got to the T-shirt dress, I had to click back to your site to make sure it wasn’t an “Oh my goodness, buy this now!” bc it was so awful lol. But there were no reviews when I clicked! I was really looking forward to reading those comments (insert crying laughing emoji).
Totally agree though that your hubs is a keeper and glad to hear he’s taking such good care of you through the stressful days! Happy holidays!
ahhhh i’m so sad they deleted them! you would have gotten a kick out of them.
hope that you’ve been enjoying the holidays <3
