Happy Friday, friends!

It’s been a little while since I shared a Friday Faves post, but I’m back with a fresh roundup of what’s been bringing me joy this week. Time is flying—I hit 30,000 words in my current work-in-progress (yay!), and I’ve officially started copyedits on the manuscript that’s due to my publisher in July. Between the writing sprints and editing, I’ve been keeping busy, but I’m loving the momentum.

Happy Friday! Happy last week in September! Say what??? How did that happen? Wasn’t it just Labor Day? It certainly feels like it was but today is September 27^th. There’s just three more days until we welcome in October and I couldn’t be happier! I’m in full-on pumpkin spice mode and my sweaters are just waiting to be worn.

Happy Friday! Happy first week in July! July? Wasn’t I just writing my faves post for June? Yep. Now we’re in a whole new month with a long-stretch of summer ahead of us. So let’s make the best of it, says the pumpkin spice, tall boots loving gal. For this summer, Christmas in July edition of Friday Faves, I’ve added two new categories.

My faves this week include a podcast, a Instagram account that always makes me smile, the workout of the week, a favorite YouTube channel, my current read, hair care products and favorite Christmas movie. Ready? Let’s get started.

Happy Friday! Can you believe we’re inching closer and closer to the end of June? What happened? Wasn’t it just Easter? What I’m about to say is going to be controversial, but…the closer we get to July means the closer we get to all things pumpkin spice! I know, I hear you summer babies out there but I love fall and thinking about those cooler days wearing sweaters helps me survive the humid days of summer. Anyhoo, today I wanted to share some of my faves this week (despite the heatwave, though I know it’s not as bad here as it is on other places).

My faves this week include a podcast, a Instagram account that always makes me smile, the workout of the week, a favorite YouTube channel and my current read. Ready? Let’s get started.

Podcast: The Cross Stitch Podcast. This is a new to-me podcast that I found after I started a new project. It’s been ages since I’ve cross stitched and last year I purchased a chart for a Halloween-themed sampler and I finally felt like I wanted to stitch again.

Instagram: Aubreycraighome. I love this New England themed blog filled with beautiful pictures of homes in all four seasons.

Workout: Get Healthy U’s Barre Burn. Thirty minutes of no-nonsense barre exercises. Loved it!

You Tube: Nikol Johnson. I’m loving her re-booted Fierce Aging series that combines a makeup tutorial and life advice from amazing women.

My current read: Murder by Page One by Olivia Matthews. I’ve had this book on my Kindle app for a few months and last week I needed a new book to read and this sounded like so much fun. So far, it is!

Happy Friday! Can you believe it’s the end of October already? What happened? In just two days it’s going to be Halloween! I swear, it was just yesterday that I was celebrating the release of THE CORPSE IN THE GAZEBO, embracing everything pumpkin and getting all my cozy fleece throws ready for night time snuggling with Connie. Speaking of Connie, I took her yesterday for her a few vaccines and the drive along the windy back road to the town where her vet office is located was so fallish. It wasn’t a bright day, so the colors of the leaves were muted. Many homes had pumpkins and mums while a few had Halloween decorations set out. I love this time of the year. Now with November on the horizon, I can burrow deeper into autumn and that cozy fleece throw.

My faves this week include a podcast, a Instagram account that always makes me smile, the workout of the week, a favorite YouTube channel and my current read. Ready? Let’s get started.

Podcast: Food Blogger Pro. This is a new podcast to me and I listened to their Salem Witch Trials episode. This is one of my favorite podcasts. I enjoy listening to food bloggers share about their journey in blogging and I’m always on the hunt for some new tips. This week I listened to the Hosting Events episode.

Instagram: Poppy_Stitches. I love when when of her captions pops into my feed. I really miss stitching. Maybe I’ll be able to make some time for my cross stitch project later in the year. Fingers-crossed.

Workout: Get Healthy U’s Cardio and Core. Thirty minutes and boom! I got a cardio and core workout. I’m loving these short workouts.

You Tube: Plan with Laken. In this video, Laken shares her first impressions of the HB90 goal setting system. I love checking out all things goal setting, time management and planning, so I was eager to hear what Laken had to say about HB90. Her initial impressions echoed mine. I really love the goal setting portion of HB90 but I don’t think I would use the monthly/weekly/daily portions of the system. So I’m still on the fence of whether to purchase it.

My current read: Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano. I got some good news last week so I celebrated by treating myself to some new books. This was one of them. I’m a few chapters in and I’m enjoying the hot mess Finlay Donovan is and the hot water she ends up in.
