Friday Favorites

**Friday Favorites** {7.24.2026}

Hey guys! I’m back and trying to be back on schedule today. It was a pretty jam packed week. Sadly, today is my last official day week day off of the Summer. We had a great one and made so many memories. 

Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week and last weekend.

Last Saturday, Addison had a birthday party to attend at the Tellus Museum. It’s a very cool museum with so many exhibits and different things to learn about. 

Joey and Addi took me to Henry’s Louisiana Grill. It’s a favorite, and we had a great time. 

Sunday, very spontaneously, Whitley called me and asked if I wanted to ride up to Pigeon Forge for 1 night and us go to Dollywood with the kids… Well, yes! 

So, off we went. We got there about 5:00 Sunday evening and stayed until they closed about 10. I always love the decorations, and we stopped by the bakery to grab some treats. 

We were running through exhibits and shows trying to avoid some rain showers. We were able to see some really awesome things. 

Whitley got us all on the Fire Chaser. Some look excited… some look meh. 

She wanted pictures with the butterflies. 

We stayed for fireworks and the drone show which is always a favorite. 

Monday, since we rode most of the rides on Sunday night, we were trying to decide if we were going to go back to Dollywood or have a pool day. 

We let the kids vote, and going back to Dollywood won.

And, we rode the train which is Hayes’ favorite! 

We watched the dog stunt show then headed out and back toward home. 

Tuesday, Addison got a hair cut for the new year. It was a favorite! 

But, it made her look so grown up. 

We had another pool day with friends. It was just Addison and all boys. She doesn’t mind. She just jumps right in to play. 

We got more Marley snuggles. She was not happy about sitting outside in the sun. 

Addison had a play date with Adalynn at the Trampoline park. 

I got a big order of favorites in. 

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now open to everyone to shop. Be sure to check everything out! There are so many great deals! 

Free People Torres Turtleneck has been a Hot Trend on the sale! It’s Free People and comes in many color options. 

These Wit & Wisdom Sam Jeans aren’t part of the sale, but they are on sale! And they are very cute! 

 

Same Turtleneck sweater as above, but with the Wit & Wisdom Sam Jeans in Cold Brew– I think this color may currently be sold out, but there’s another really good color for Fall still available. 

These Nike SE General Sneakers have also been another HOT item! I have them on in the top picture and Addison has them on in the bottom one. 

And these Nordstrom Moonlight Eco Pajamas are so very soft and also come in different color options. 

This next fit is not from the Nordstrom Sale, but it is a great work option from Amazon. Especially for my teacher friends. 

And the shirt is a great deal! Both the top and pants come in many different colors! 

Casual Oversized Shirt / Wide Leg Flowy Pants with Pockets

Joey and I watched Voicemails for Isabelle recently. I loved it! I cried sad tears and also happy tears! It was a favorite that I will remember. Have you watched it? 

I finally started The Five Star Weekend! I have only watched 1 episode, and some things seem familiar to me. I honestly can’t remember this novel very well. But, so far, I’m into it! 

I saw this quote, and it definitely made me laugh out loud! Sadly, it is a lot like me. 

Yesterday, I shared another recap day of our trip West. If you’d like to read more about it, check it out here.

 

And that’s a wrap on my last week of Summer break! I hope you guys have a great weekend! I’m going on a short girl’s getaway to round out my break. 

See you back on Monday!
