Happy Friday! Can you believe we are closing in on the last week of October?? So crazy! I still haven’t watched Hocus Pocus this month, need to get right on that! Zoe and I started watching the Harry Potter movies together last weekend. We finished the first and are a little ways into the second. I read the books for the first time in 2013, and had never seen the movies. I think she is a fan, though she got scared during the troll scene. She asked for dolls from the movie for Christmas…so that’s a good sign. They make Barbie sized Hermione and Harry.
This was Zoe’s first week back to school, and the girl has been all smiles. Every day I pick her up, she tells me how it was the best day ever. So happy to hear!!! We had a little bit of a rough drop off yesterday, she said that she was going to miss me. Sweet girl. Her teachers are really good about just grabbing them and pushing you off on your way.
Favorite Find: I had this jacket in my cart for awhile, and one day I decided to just pull the trigger. I am so glad I did! It is so cute in person!!! It looks much higher end than it is, and it fits true to size. I had both Chris and Zoe tell me separately that I looked cool when I wore it. If that isn’t a win, I don’t know what is.
Zoe has said that she was going to ask Santa for this food truck for Christmas for the last 8-9 months…so I felt pretty confident ordering it this week. It comes put together, even better! I ordered several other things this week, and am about 90% done with her Christmas and birthday presents now. I need to figure out some stocking stuffers and get her a pair of boots for fall/winter.
Parents of older kids….where do you hide presents???? I have these in their shipping boxes in my office closet. She hasn’t figured that out yet…but I just know that maybe next year or the year after she is going to be too smart for them to be out in plain view.
Favorite Recipe: I cant remember if I shared this recipe or not after I made it the first time, but these boneless crockpot wings are amazing and so easy to make! We have been rotating them in our game day snacks and they would be great for a weeknight meal paired with a side as well.
Favorite Workout: Heather coming in hot with a no repeat! Sometimes I love no repeat workout because they always seem to go faster for me. Also, you know that move you hate isn’t coming back around on the second rep so it is easier to just get through it once and move on.
Favorite Funnies:
Linking up for Friday Favorites. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

So much goodness here and most of all I am overjoyed that Zoe is loving being back in school in person! I know it will be good for her. And can I just say, I want that food truck as well, LOL! Yay for the Barbies and yay for the laughs with your funnies!
So glad Z is so happy being back at school! That jacket is so cool, and you’re so cool! LOL – I sure with the refrigerator held all the answers. I hope you guys have a great weekend!
So I hide presents in the garage or in our spare bedroom on the top shelf of the closet. It is so hard to hide things. We have that food truck but in the ice cream version and my girls still play with it. It is a huge hit. That jacket is very cute. have a great weekend.
So glad you got that jacket; it’s so cute! And glad Zoe has enjoyed being back in school!
I bought a similar style of jacket at Target years ago and wore it constantly!
Glad Zoe is back to school 🙂
Yay for Harry Potter – and I had no idea they make dolls, now I’m on the hunt! And loving that jacket. Chris and Zoe have great taste <3
I cant wait to be cleared to work out again – I have so many videos saved of workouts that I want to do!! Zoe is going to flip for that present – amazing!! So glad that she is enjoying being back at school. We pulled Sophia until the Spring because of newborn in the house so to get through the winter, but cant wait for her to go back and socialize with other kids again!!
Sometimes I want my day to be over at 9.30 a.m. as well. LOL
That’s great Zoe is back in school and loving it! I love that you’re watching the HP movies too. I’m such a big Harry Potter fan. Those HP dolls are adorable.
