Friday Favorites

February 19, 2016

Another weekend is here, praise the Lord!
I’m happy to be linking up with April, Natasha, and Christina; Karli; Erika, Narci, and Andrea for Five on Friday, Oh Hey Friday!, and Friday Favorites.

ONE: Starting this list off with some pretty dresses from Asos that are making me want spring and summer to get here even faster!

TWO: Sarah, with Jessica‘s help, started a women’s/moms’ group recently, and I am really enjoying it!  Getting to know some new people, and share mom stories, prayer requests, struggles, and joys, is life-giving.  Jessica suggested that we start by reading Jen Hatmaker’s book For the Love.  I am halfway through and I LOVE it.  I would highly recommend this book!  It is a great mix of light-hearted and hilarious, along with encouragement and practical Jesus-loving, child-rearing advice.

THREE: If you’re looking for some food inspiration, you should check out Charlotte Food Bloggers!  I am excited to be a new member of this group!  You can peruse the member directory for a list of local bloggers.

FOUR: Do you like Reese’s peanut butter cups?!  If you do, but you’d like a healthier alternative, I have another recipe this week that you definitely need to try!  I wish I could take credit for this one, but this is from oh she glows.  I made her Raw Almond Butter Cups, and they are seriously good.  I made them mini, and I used raw cacao powder instead of basic cocoa powder.  My little “assistant” couldn’t wait to get those cute hands on one…then he immediately asked for another. 🙂  (It’s best to keep them in the freezer – which is why they look a little frosted).

FIVE: So, mine and Todd’s Valentine’s plans fell through last weekend. Davis was sick for 5 days. 🙁 But we are able to go on a date tonight!  And we are finally trying Kindred!   I can’t wait!  I’m sure I will post food pics on instagram. 

Have a wonderful weekend!  Thank you for stopping by!

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

    I can’t wait to make those almond butter cups! I haven’t tried cacao powder, so this is a great chance for me to use it. Also, all of those dresses are perfect. I am obsessed with the floor length blush number!

    OMG those Raw Almond Butter Cups look delicious. Were they hard to make? Now I want chocolate.

      I am very sorry for the delay! No they were not hard to make. 🙂 Especially because they do not require any baking. I highly recommend them
