Happy Friday my friends! Sorry it has been a while since I have done a Spontaneous Miscellaneous post sharing with y'all all my favorite kicks and giggles. Today we are back and better then ever. This weekend is going to be pretty relaxed and I am excited. I am trying out some new recipes so we will see how that goes :) What will you be up to this weekend?
Let's jump into some things that have been on my radar the past couple weeks:
My family has sponsored two children in the Philippines for years now and have a huge passion for everything Compassion International does. One of these things would be their Christmas catalog. Anyone can donate money or pick out gifts for those suffering in third world countries. When you go the the website and you see the sweet faces of these kids, you can't help but feel like this is what Christmas is all about. Start saving your money now, and give it to those who depend on it. And pray. They are dependent on that too.
If y'all have seen the show Fixer Upper on HGTV then you know the funny and real Gaines couple. These two are the most humble and real people to ever have a reality TV show (especially considering they don't even have a TV). This design power couple just recently came out with their book highlighting the ups and downs of their journey as a couple, parents, and entrepreneurs. This is such a good book and a quick read. LOVE them. Anyone down for a girls trip to Waco, Texas?
This book is another quick and easy read. I finished this in three days and couldn't put it down. It isn't too intense but rides on a fact that only the reader is aware of. This is a great Christian novel that brings awareness to the foster care system while being centered around a football team. SO good.
This is so random I know, but why did I never know about these until now? McAllisters has these baked potatoes on their menu that are absolutely amazing. I have been trying to limit how much meat I eat so this is a filling option that isn't just meat meat meat.
Cooler Weather / Running
Man it has been such nice weather out in the mornings recently. Getting in my morning run has become quite the routine and puts me in such a better mood. If you are considering taking up running I seriously recommend it. You don't need a membership or any elaborate plan, just get out of the house, put in some ear buds, and run. It isn't just good for your physical health but for your mental health as well.
Y'all already know I am registered for the Disney Princess 10k in February (AGH SO excited!!) but I also just signed up for the Reindeer Run at Seaworld held early December. I can't wait to deck myself out in Christmas gear and run around one of my most favorite places ever! Would you like a full post on my training plan? It is quite simple :)
If you have been following my fashion posts you already know that I have been obsessing over these booties from Payless. They have such good shoes for the price. I have boots in my closet that I bought from Payless about 2 years ago and they are still in good shape. I recommend stopping in :)
This girl has such a cute girly style with an obvious Texas influence and I am LOVING her Youtube videos. Her sweet voice just calms me and I trust her opinion on just about everything.. like these Target boots for example.. heart eyes!!
I know I have already mentioned this show but y'all it is still SO good. I wish it came on every day! I don't know how exactly they are going to make multiple seasons out of it but I am excited to find out.
PHEW that was an exhausting list! Now that y'all are fully updated on my life, what are some of your most favorite things at the moment? I would LOVE to get some book, TV, blog, or recipe recommendations from y'all.
Enjoy your weekend!
xoxo
