Five on Friday

1. 

"It's a Friday, we finally made it."

The new John Mayer is seriously so good. 

A love song for all those long distance kids out there!

2.
Molly and I are heading out for 5K #11 of the year this weekend.
I cannot believe this year is almost over or that we've actually pulled this resolution off!

3.
Speaking of 2016 coming to a close, I made sure to order my Sweet Caroline Designs desk calendar early this year! Last year I waited too long and they were gone. Hurry up and order one soon!

This week the media team traveled to Atlanta for the NCC Upfront Fest.

Needless to say, the photo booth was our favorite part of the night [well and my hat]!

5.
We are less than a week until Thanksgiving and football and dad's fires and mom's sweet potatoes!!

#NCCupfrontfest

Wednesday night, the media team headed down to Atlanta for the NCC Upfront Fest. 

Upfronts are a huge perk of the job but this is the first year I've gotten to travel for them!

The theme was "We're Psyched" and festival dress was encouraged. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good theme party! The food was amazing, there were light up drink cups, cotton candy,  teasers for new show, and a photo booth! 

Check out some of our favorite shoots below..

1.

Thanksgiving is only two weeks away!

Packed Party released two adorable turkey day themed free downloads this week. 

I'm personally loving the pies!

2.

Speaking of Packed Party, My Kind of Lovely got an awesome shout out from them with an Instagram repost yesterday!! We got our disco drink on in our holiday shoot last weekend!

3.

Wednesday night after a long day at work I headed to Target to grab basics like q-tips and dry shampoo but took a detour and found the ELF $3 matte lipsticks! After our shoot Sunday I was really wanting a deep lip for a concert this weekend and after testing basically every color they had, finally landed on Scarlet Night. I'm really loving the dark lip look!

4.

This weekend is My Kind of Lovely's Mingle & Jingle!!

Come hang out with us and get an early start on your Christmas cheer!

5.

I am heading to Nashville tomorrow morning for what should be an amazing night seeing The Fray downtown! They have been one of my favorite bands since high school and cannot wait to finally check them off my concert bucket list!

Season of Thanks

Today is November 3rd. Which means....Thanksgiving is only three weeks from today. And with the way this year has flown by I'm sure I'll be watching the parade at home in the blink of an eye. 

Next week I'll start my She Reads Truth Beatitudes two week study but as something to do the entire month I have Emily Ley's Month of Gratitude on my fridge. Every night while making dinner or before bed I write down I'm thankful for that day. This is a great way to challenge yourself and dig deeper and appreciate all the people and things in your life. 

Join me!

We gotta carry on darling

When the rain came

It washed us out to sea,

I'm holding what I love,

And she's holding on to me,

It's no surprise,

It brought me to my knees,

You're never really ready,

You're ready as can be, 

The sun was coming up

We were sifting through the sand,

Looking for the pieces 

Of our broken plans

It's gonna take a while,

We're gonna get it back,

We gotta carry on darling

We were built to last.

Changing tides,

Baby thats the hardesr part of life,

Hold me tight

And we will move as one in the changing tides.

There's no doubt the beauty that we see,

Following the path, so much older than we.

Lovers built it with their hands, walked it with their feet,

Above the raging waters and the darkness underneath. 

Changing tides,

Baby thats the hardesr part of life,

Hold me tight

And we will move as one in the changing tides.

And we will move as one in the changing tides.

When the rain came

It washed us out to sea,

I'm holding what I love,

And she's holding on to me,

It's gonna take a while.

It's gonna come back,

We gotta carry on darling,

We were built to last.

Changing tides,

Baby thats the hardesr part of life,

Hold me tight

And we will move as one in the changing tides.

Changing tides,

And we will move as one in the changing tides

And we will move as one in the changing tides.

Cannot wait to finally see them live next weekend in Nashville!
