Happy Friday, friends! I took a month off from posting but the kids are home from school and I’m warm and cozy on this cool fall morning so I thought I’d get back at it. Since it’s Friday and I have so many great items to share with you, this is the perfect opportunity. I’m glad you could join me! Here are this week’s favorites.

Since I have seven faves, I’m also linking up with Kelly for 7 Quick Takes.

This Week’s Fave Books

Little Women and Anne of Green Gables

Okay, I’ll admit that I’ve already read both of these books before, but Costco was promoting “The Great American Read” and had these gorgeous books on sale. They added beauty to my book shelf and have inspired me to add them to my “read again” book list.

This Week’s Fave Happy Mail (Part 1)

Someday Saints Designs Accessories Pouch

I have long been a fan of Gina from SomedaySaints and have enjoyed the products in her etsy shop Someday Saints Designs.

Me with Brittany, Blythe and Gina. Gotta love that playful smile!

We’ve kept in touch online for years, but last month I finally had the chance to meet Gina face to face at the Blessed Is She Team Retreat in Arizona. I pictured her much taller but she is petite, beautiful, loving, fun and talented!

I am a sucker for a cute accessories pouch to corral all the loose items in my tote bags or car or a kids’ backpack. When I saw her Sacred Heart Immaculate Heart Pouch, I bought it to put the smaller items from my prayer/adoration time tote bag. She added her “Mother’s Litany” as an added gift. Love it!

This Week’s Fave Happy Mail (Part 2)

JoyfulHopeLettering Print

Sarah from JoyfulHopeLetting had an Instagram Giveaway for one of her lovely prints and guess who won?! Yours truly. Woohoo! I was having a rough day when her lovely package came in the mail. She even took one of the quotes from a Blessed Is She devotion I write and wrote it in her pretty lettering. I was really touched. Thank you, Sarah.

This Week’s Fave App

A screenshot of my notebooks.

Notebook by Zoho

I’m all about old school paper, journals, pens and using hardcopy planners, but I am also attached to my phone and the convenience of digital. Although I use paper and pen, it is not always convenient to jot down notes when I am in the middle of working or brainstorming while I am taking a walk on the beach. That is why I love the Notebook app by Zoho. When I am out and about and think of something I need to do or have a blog idea I want to capture, I use the app to get the info down.

I used to just use the notes section on my iPhone, but I found this app to be more versatile and enjoyable to use. I have different notebooks for various subjects and have the option to use different templates such as text, check lists, voice notes, draw or capture a photo. At the end of the day I can review my notes and add any pertinent information into my planner. For me, it’s the best of both worlds.

This Week’s Fave Netflix Binge (that Brian will watch with me)

The Good Cop

It seems like so far, my friends either love this show or are indifferent. Personally, Brian and I both loved it. Josh Groban and Tony Danza pay father and son police officers and they are literally the “good cop/ bad cop” odd couple. First, I have a soft spot for Josh Groban, so I love his squeaky clean character. And Tony Danza is hilarious as the morally ambiguous father that you can’t help but love, despite his ethics. It’s fun, playful and cleaner than some of the other shows we’ve tried. Check it out on Netflix.

This Week’s Fave Photographer

Lexy Popa Photography

Speaking of the Blessed Is She Retreat from #2, on the last day we had headshots taken by Lexy Popa. She was so sweet and fun and she did an amazing job capturing all the ladies. I felt a little silly posing as she instructed, as you can tell from the shot she got of me laughing, but in the end I was happy with the results. If you live in the Arizona and need a photographer, don’t hesitate to contact her!

This Week’s Fave Advent Prep

Blessed Is She Advent Journal/Bundle

At midnight on November 1st, it is officially the holiday season in our house. (Although, I may have snuck a few Christmas carols ahead of time.) 😉 But along with the holiday season, I am preparing for Advent too. I know it may seem early but dang it, time is just flying by so freakin fast! It’ll be Advent before you know it. There are a number of great Advent journals and tools, but you know that I am partial to the Blessed Is She products. I purchased my Advent Bundle that included the gorgeous journal (written by Shannon Evans and designed by Erica Tighe), the Magnificat beeswax candle made with frankincense and myrrh essential oils, and a imago Dei canvas wristlet pouch. Make sure to get your before they sell out. 🙂

Okay, that’s it for now!

Those are my favorites of the week! What have you been enjoying?

Have a great weekend!
