Five on Friday

Five on Friday? Who am I? I haven’t done one of these in months. It’s been so long that I actually had to go back to my last one to see the format. But I’m trying to get back to a regular blog schedule so here I am…

I’m working on getting my first Rwanda recap together but between the four of us, we took so. many. pictures. I’ve been sorting them by days, resizing and all that jazz but I find myself getting so caught up in the pictures though that I normally end up wasting time just clicking through them.

It’s so hard to decide which ones to share.

So a few of my favorite things this Friday…

ONE | My birthday was last Thursday and Amber got me the sweetest gift. I’ve been searching for an Africa necklace since we returned from Rwanda last year and she found the cutest shop, Ivy by Design, to make one for me. The heart is over Rwanda. So fitting for my heart.

Make sure to check out this great shop!

TWO | Every year, we send out thank you cards to our friends and family who donate towards our trip but this year, we took a different approach. We fully appreciate the value of a hand written note but we think our supporters are gonna love what we came up with using Tiny Prints. I don’t want to spoil  them before we get them in the mail but I had to share the 25% (up to 30%) discount Tiny Prints is offering right now on holiday cards!

THREE | Speaking of sales, I hit the Old Navy sale the other day and may have ended up with some new flannel shirts.

I’ve wanted a buffalo plaid shirt forever and getting it at 30% off makes my heart happy.

This orange plaid is the perfect Clemson, fall shirt. And it was $12. Seriously, I wanted to order all the plaid.

But I stopped at 3. There is still a huge sale going on so you should check it out!

FOUR | Cory has got me turned on to podcast because I can listen to them in the morning while I’m getting ready and driving to work. As much as I like to think I am discipline enough to study the Bible each day, it’s often the first thing to go when my day gets busy. I really like Kasey VanNorman, after hearing her speak last year, and have really enjoyed her study of Genesis. She reads a chapter a day and then dives right in. Being able to listen to my study is much easier.

Do you have any good podcast you listen to?

FIVE | So, over the past couple of months, with busy schedules and chaotic lives, I’ve managed to gain about 10 lbs. And while I know the scale isn’t important, I just feel bad about myself. I have no energy and just ready to live a healthier life style. So I took the plunge and ordered the 21 Day Fix. It was delivered to my door step yesterday and I’m nervous and excited to start it on Monday. I’ve never had much self discipline when it comes to food but I’ve never had to be. Rebecca Jo (my coach) is gonna have her hands full!

Amber and I are heading to Homecoming tomorrow and I’m so excited to get to a game in this year. Cory and I try and go to at least one a year since we gave up our season tickets and for the past two seasons, one is all we’ve been able to make time for. It’s supposed to be a beautiful day and I’m so excited about introducing Amber to all the Clemson gameday activities!

What are your plans for this weekend?

I’m linking up with all kinds of fun ladies today {april, karli, amanda, tif, andrea} and you should too!
