๐Ÿ˜Ž5 Friday Faves๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week! I finally feel like I am catching up on life. With all of us being sick for several weeks, the Disciple Now Weekend and then going out of town I just got SO behind on everything. That gives me a great amount of unrest. I cannot stand for laundry and clutter to build up and that is what was happening. I am so thankful to have the laundry almost caught up (only one load left, plus all the sheets in the house to wash). I am managing the clutter and getting to a point where I am comfortable. 

I have a few fun Friday Favs his week. Stay tuned for next week. I have a special post about all of our favorite family devotions.



My new Adidas cap.

 
If you know me, you know that I am seen in a cap at least 75 % of the time. I love the sportiness of this cap but its made of faded denim and goes with everything. I love it and my daughters do as well. We all share it and I am thinking I may need another one ;)

Velvet Scrunchies
   
I love the look of these scrunchies and how smooth they are on my hair. They make my ponytails appear thicker. Best of all, you get 40 for under $5!!! 

  Le Specs
 
I have discovered a new brand of sunglasses. Le Specs, they are amazing quality and stylish. 

  My new phone case.
 
Its under $8! I have dropped my phone multiple times (from very tall heights)  and it has been safe, thankfully! It's a very pretty color for Spring and feels thin yet sturdy. Love it!

My new every day lipstick. 

 
I am loving the formula and the color. It is matte yet moisturizing as well as long-wearing. I wear it every da and only have to reapply once or twice during the day. It is a very natural color and formula.

That is it for today! Looking forward to sharing more next week but in the meantime this is on my heart... Sometimes we can complicate our walk w God but HE is the Author and Finisher of our faith. He Who began a good work in you will carry it on. We put so much emphasis on striving for growth but God is the One Who causes all things to grow. Look at John 15 and tell me the ONE thing WE are to do.  DM me on Instagram if you do. 

Blessings to all of you this week.
Grace & peace,
Adoring Family

5 Friday Favs.

Hello Everyone, happy Valentine's Day!



That is from a little spread I put together for my CC moms. I love that I was able to use some of the cute things from Andrea!

Today I am thankful to be celebrating Valentine's Day with the love of my life. We def have our ups and downs but he is still the greatest person I know and I am so thankful to be his wife.

So onto my 5 Favs post...I have compiled  quick list of my fav things today:

1. I am SO loving this little under desk peddler!


It is compact and easily folds up neatly under my bed. I love using it in the morning while reading my devotion and going through my DMs. It's the perfect amount of exercise to get my blood pumping and I just enjoy doing it. I can sit on the edge of my sofa and halfway relax while still exercising. 

2. My Favorite Times of Day Water Bottle.
I have talked about this before many times. I drink two of these and have my daily water intake. It is best to sip water throughout the day in these increments. It hydrates your cells better and is easier on your pancreas. I usually add a little cranberry juice to help detox and diminish the appearance of cellulite. You can read more about that by clicking here.

3. Collagen
I have been putting this collagen in my coffee for four years! It helps my skin, hair, and nails as well as my digestive system. It's also a great source of protein and I use it in recipes such as chocolate peanut butter protein balls. They are amazing! I will post the recipe soon. Promise ha!

4. I LOVE taking a trip to town with my little ones.


Sometimes, if you are overwhelmed or just feeling the winter blues, it's good to get out of the house and change your scenery. We usually run to town for an ice cream from Chick Fit A or, if it's Friday, we have Frosty Friday at Wendy's. Just a simple little treat like that will break up the day and my little ones think its absolutely awesome! And let me just say I am SOOO excited that they are building a Chick Fil A right down the street from my house. Oh this will be amazing. We usually have to drive across town for such a treat but in the next few months we will have a CFA right down the street! I am thrilled!!!

5. Today is Valentine's Day. My sweetie bought be a beautiful box of Godiva Chocolates and very heartfelt card. He always picks the sweetest cards. I think his Christmas card to me was my favorite gift this year.

I did receive two homemade macrons today as well and they were AMAZING!!!
And in honor of Valentine's Day I drew y'all a little heart!




That's it for today! Let us not forget that we love because He first loved us.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Grace & peace,
Adoring Creations
