Friday Favorites

Hello!  Happy Friday!  I feel like school just started for my kiddos and yet here we are, 8 weeks of school done and nigh unto Halloween.  Life is just too hectic right now but hopefully this weekend we get a chance to breathe a little this weekend.  I hope you do too.  Here’s what I’m loving this week:

[one] New Phone!

My phone kept dying on me at random times and I’d had it for over 3 years so this past weekend I got a new one.  I got the iphone 8 plus and I’m loving it BUT I haven’t found a case yet and I’m petrified of dropping it and breaking it.  Any recommendations on cases?  I looked at some of the Riffle Paper Co. ones (like this one) since they’re so pretty but I read that they don’t really offer too much protection.  Anyone know of pretty cases that do protect well?  I need a decently tough one because I’m a total clutz and drop my phone pretty regularly.

[two] Hale Farm

I got to go on a field trip this week with my older son and we had a blast exploring Hale Farm.  My older son had fun going back in time and my younger son had fun running around splashing in puddles and finding sticks.

[three] Videos

I’ve started filming video tutorials for some of my most popular sewing tutorials.  There’s a definite learning curve to all of it but hopefully soon I will be uploading them to my Youtube channel.

 [four] Food Journaling

As I shared earlier this week I’m using a food journal page to keep track of what I’m eating right now.  Writing it all down definitely helps me to be more conscious of what I’m eating.

[five] Tabata

I’m probably going to regret this… but I’m signing up for a Tabata class that starts in a few weeks.  Have you tried it?  I read about it but I’ve never done it so I would love to hear about it if you have.  I tend to do well with classes and the time and days this one is offered next session are perfect for my schedule.

I hope that you have a great weekend!  And as always, thank you for reading along.
