Happy Friday! Did you have a good Christmas? We’re prolonging the holiday activities with Hugh’s family in the Chicago area this weekend.
These are some of the things I’m loving this week, but I’m really grateful for the time with family, the many blessings of gifts and yummy food, and our year ahead (full of wedding activities)!
Christmas with family
Hugh and I spent Christmas Eve and half of Christmas Day with my family. It was so much fun watching my little niece and nephew open all their presents and experience it all. We had brunch and dinner, slowly made our way through the pile of gifts, went to church, and played games with fun cocktails (check out the recipes in yesterday’s post).
Yelp
I use Yelp to find restaurants and all kinds of other businesses. It’s my go-to resource, especially in a new city or area.
Frankenmuth, MI
We visited some friends in from KC and his hometown of Frankenmuth for the evening. It’s a Bavarian town that has lots of cute shops and food! Hugh and I are definitely going back to spend more time exploring.
Collagen peptide packets
I put collagen peptides in my coffee almost every day. It gives me some protein and is great for joints, hair & skin, and the gut. Thrive Market has packets that make it really easy to bring along with me, which is great when I’m out of town like this week. You can try Thrive Market and get 25% off your first order with my referal link. I shared more about it on Friday Five #3.
Hot tools curling iron
I got this 1 1/4 inch curling iron for Christmas and love it already! It’s available at many beauty retailers, such as Target.
That’s it for this week! Enjoy the rest of 2019!
