Friday Things #557

1. Joseph turned TEN last weekend! I canโt believe how time fliesโฆ just yesterday, I had three little babes running and crawling around all day, and now theyโre all off at school, becoming their own little people. I love each stage, but gosh it just all goes so fast.
2. What are your favorite homemade snacks to have on hand at home? Working on coming up with a list of things to make/keep stocked!
3. Winter is such a great time to pick up a cozy hobby and I love this list >> 25 Hobbies You Can Start at Home Today
4. Does anyone have a good recommendation for no-show socks? I had found some that I thought were PERFECT years ago (by Zella, I bought them at Nordstrom), but when I needed new ones, they werenโt the same. I have tried so many different brands and Iโm not sure if itโs because I have small feet (I wear a 6 or 6.5), but they all come so high up the back of my heel and bunch, not at all comfortable. Iโd love to hear if you have some that work great for you!
5. I loved reading this story so, so much >> The Traveling Grannies (two senior best friends went around the world in 80 days)
6. It was bitterly cold here this week (like pretty much everywhere!) and it was perfect weather for a big pot of chicken and dumplings or beef stew.
7. A ranking of Girl Scout cookies >> Which are your favorites? Weโre a Samoas house here!
8. I enjoyed reading through these >> 10 Life Hacks
9. Who are you cheering for in the AFC and NFC championship games this weekend? Weโre rooting for the Bills!
10. TGIF!ย A little Judith selfie for the weekendโฆ




Sorry for the late comment, but the fires and evacuations in Southern California have absolutely turned lives upside down. Just now having time to catch up on my favorite normal activities. A vey Happy belated Birthday to Joseph; may the new year bring you so much fun and adventures.
I was cheering on the Chiefs.ย
Hard to believe your Joseph is 10. WOW..that means Iโve been following you for a long time., since before you were married (I believe.) Hope he had a great day. I too canโt find good socks, so Iโll be sure to read through the suggestions. Happy weekend.
Hello Michelle!
Your chicken and dumpling recipe was a huge hit here! Absolutely delicious!ย
Also, I wear size 6.5 shoeโฆ try Bombas, they are the only socks I can find that are the right size and stay in placeโฆplus they donate a pair when you purchase one. Expensive but worth it, last forever!
Happy Birthday to your sweet Joseph๐ฅณ
