Friday Randoms

It's Friday! Holla! Today is my husband's day off and I look forward to Fridays every week. While I do love being at home, it can get rather lonely so I'm so excited to spend the day with my love. I don't care what we do, as long as we do it together =)

~If you want to treat yourself then run, do not walk, to your kitchen and pull out some milk and nutella. I saw a recipe for nutella hot chocolate here and knew that I had to try it. Trust me, you will not regret it! For one serving I whisked 1 cup of milk and 2 tbsp. of nutella in a saucepan over medium heat.

~Next week is the end of the twelve week Bible study that I've been a part of. We are having a time of "Taste and Testimony" where we will share snacks and a little something that God has done in our lives as a result of the study. I'm planning to bring this yummy looking snack mix. I can't wait to try it! 

~I've been wanting to re-work my mantel display for a while. Since we've lived here my bridal portrait has hung above the mantel and I'm ready to change that up. I thought about a mirror but all it reflects is the ugly fluorescent light fixture in our kitchen, so that's not going to work. I think I'm now going to look for a large thrift store frame that I can do a big vinyl monogram on. This isn't a new idea, but I think I will love it. I may even add a piece of fabric or burlap behind it. I'll post when it's done!

~My Christmas cards are in! This was the first year that I haven't designed the cards myself and I'm a little sad. But, because of discounts/promotions I was able to get the cards I'm using for free. And honestly, what's better than free? That's what I keep telling myself anyway. I just need to address them and get stamps and they will be on their way!

~Speaking of Christmas cards, mark your calendars and don't forget to stop by on December 14th for the annual Christmas Card Carousel! This will be the fourth year that I've done this and it's more fun each year. Please spread the word and join in the fun!


Hope y'all have a great weekend!!

  2. I love the idea of the Taste & Testimony...what a great idea! I'm going to have to try to the nutella hot chocolate...yum. Can't wait to see your mantel project. I have so many projects that I keep thinking I'll tackle and have yet to do one. That's why I haven't been on Pinterest in a while...I just kept pinning stuff and not doing any of it. HA!

    And you would be so proud of me. My cards are finished, stamps bought, just have to find the right size envelope. I'm actually ahead of the game this year! :)

    Thank you for your comment on my blog this morning - what a sweet thing to say - you made me cry. You're going to be a fantastic mother. I have no doubt.

    Love you!
