Friday Favorites Round-Up


It’s that time of the week again when I get to link up with Amandaand Christina to share my favorites from this past week!! I, for one could not be more excited that it’s Friday – even having an extra day off, it’s just been one of those weeks!! I have a cool announcement on Monday that I’m excited to share with you all, but before that let’s get right to some favorites!! 





Favorite Song




I sometimes listen to Pandora when I’m plowing through work and this song came on the Ellie Goulding station and I immediately starting doing a little bounce…that’s when you know it’s good! 









Favorite Recipe 

How absolutely delicious do these slow cooker buffalo chicken meatballs look?! Can’t wait to try them!! 







Favorite DIY


Last week I posted about no carve ideas for your pumpkins and this past Monday I went ahead and spray painted with chalk paint one of the little ones! Right now it say’s “BOO” but after seeing Paige’s Ninja Turtle Pumpkin I need to step my game up! 







Favorite Workout

I stumbled upon this Victoria Secret Full Body workoutearlier this week and I have to say I’m a little intimidated to try it!! The instructions say to do each circuit 2-3x (doing the first 4 circuits one day, the next three another day and do the whole thing twice one day). Has anyone tried this?! 


Favorite Purchase




I took the plunge and decided to go ahead and get business cards made for this little space!! When attending blogger events I never have anything to share with people so I thought it was a good treat since I’m coming up on one year next month!!

    Oh I love that chalkboard paint pumpkin – I definitely need to decorate mine this weekend! Where did you get your business cards printed? We have some but are looking to get a new batch printed up with a design that's more suited to our blog theme. Happy Friday!

    So many goodies in one post! Seriously, the way to my heart is buffalo chicken anything, so I will definitely be checking that recipe out. Your business cards turned out great, you should do a post on that process because we need to revamp ours too!

    Your chalkboard pumpkin is adorable! Love it! And that buffalo chicken meatball recipe sounds super fun! I bet my husband could be down with that, he loves wings!

    It's funny you posted that vitamin link because I was reassessing just yesterday which ones I am taking and which ones I need to add! Have a great weekend!

    Those meatballs sound so good. Love how your pumpkin came out. I just got business cards too, attending events make for an excuse to finally get them. That workout makes more sense doing each section once a day with 2-3 circuits, but all of them in one day – twice! Um no thanks!

    What a cute pumpkin! Ryan and I hopefully are going to make it to the pumpkin farm next weekend when the weather is supposed to be a bit better. Hooray for business cards! I would love to know how yours turned out and what company/designer you went through. Hope you have a great weekend!

    Love those business cards!! That's a great idea too. So much easier than taking out your phone and putting someone's contact info in there. Your pumpkin is so cute too. Those meatballs sound tasty and would be great for a party app. That workout sounds great and I would just do it at your pace. Not at their pace haha. Have a fab weekend lady! 🙂

    I didn't know Victora's Secret was posting workouts and holy crap, that is a serious workout. Gotta do something, right?

    Those meatballs look amazing. I have spaghetti and meatballs on the list for dinner at some point this weekend and now I feel like I wanna do meatball varieties.

    Blog business cards are so exciting! Did you get the design of the one you posted?! I love it! And isn't it the best when a good (and new) song comes on Pandora! I love your pumpkin! I got two small ones to paint, but I don't know if I'll actually get around to it.. the chalk paint is such a good idea!
