Friday Favorites

 We've made it to another Friday!  :)

Jesse has his first Junior High basketball game today, so I'm excited to go and watch that this afternoon.  I'll be the crazy Mom in the stands who's cheering and clapping her face off.  I try to contain myself, but I just can't help it.  Maybe it's the former cheerleader in me. ;)  And by cheerleader, I only mean back when I was in Junior High and a couple of years in High school.

Now that I've shared that little tidbit... on to my favorites for the week.

~ONE~

This might seem like just an ordinary picture, but to me, this is the reason I enjoy this time of year.  I love when my house is all quiet and cozy.  None of my kids have found joy in reading, but she has to read a little for school (thank you school), so it made my heart happy to see her sprawled out by the fire.

I got this Idaho Balsam Fir in the mail yesterday and it was instantly a new favorite!  It smells like someone shoved a Christmas tree into this little bottle.

I have bought the artifical Christmas tree scents before from stores like Walmart and Target before, but this is the real deal... and I don't have to feel bad about what harsh chemicals we are smeling, because this is the real thing.

It's seriously Christmas in a bottle!

I'm waiting until after Thanksgiving to use it, but I took it over to my Mom's house yesterday to let her smell it when I was dropping something off, and she went and got her diffuser out and made me share some right then.  Haha!

I don't claim to be good at videoing, but I loved this song on my little Instastory.  The snow isn't my favorite, but you guys...  I've been listening to the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving station on Pandora, and it is so pretty, festive and whimsical.  They also have a Charlie Brown Christmas station that I'll check out once Thanksgiving is over.

What is a favorite Pandora station that you like or even a song for this time of year?

~FOUR~

Nordstrom is having a huge sale right now, and I thought I would share you my favorite find so far.

Look at these Hunter Cable Knit Socks... wouldn't these be so fun paired with your black Hunter boots over the Christmas month.  I put it in my wish list but I don't know how long I can hold out.  I might just have to go for it.  They are 25% off right now, which makes a big difference, as normally I probably wouldn't splurge on something like this.  But aren't they cute!

~FIVE~

Wednesday I shared a day in the life post, which are always my favorites.

 Well, that's it for today...

I'm linking up with Andrea, Erika & Narci.

Are you getting snow where you live?


I hope you guys have a nice and relaxing weekend!
