Friday Favorites ~ February 13, 2026

Happy Friday!  I have been a bit more scarce on the blog this week, but it has been a super busy week back home this week.  There have been some ups, downs and emotions this week, but I definitely have some sweet favorites too!


First, Happy Galentine's Day!  You ladies are my favorites!  

Like seriously, look what I received this week...
Carrie from Northwoods Scrapbook blog had a giveaway a few weeks ago and I won one of the gifts. She has been so encouraging and kind. I loved getting this package!
This is a paper rose bouquet...perfect for Galentine's Day!
I also received these thoughtful cards from Maria and Joanne.  Love these ladies!

I enjoyed eating these bags of popcorn from this local North Carolina company, which is women owned!!

Piles of dirty snow still are all over town, but they are slowly all melting. Melting snow and ice is a favorite!  

I got a hair cut this week from my former neighbor.  It was a little strange to go see my old house for the first time in 3 months.  I stayed and showed her how to make sourdough. I am wearing my new sweater from Shein I received this week.  I love it!
My daughter's boyfriend came by the house to pick up a few things before he left to go visit her.  I am so thankful for this kind man who has come into our family's lives.

Speaking of kindness once more, my precious co-worker/friend gave me this personalized pen and the sweetest note yesterday at work.  The timing was good as it wasn't the best day at work for me.

I am looking forward to lunch with a friend and a Galentine's celebration tonight.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Much love and thanks for reading!

  2. I love your haircut! The bangs look a little shorter this time, which looks amazing on you. I'm sure that was strange seeing your old house like that and not going there after. I kind of expected you to tell me that you accidentally pulled into your old driveway or something. Ha! I'm sorry for the emotions you felt this week, but you handled them all like the bada$$ woman you are, and you kept going. Way to go, my friend. I love you and can't wait for tonight!

  3. Looks like your daughter's a lucky girl, her young man is good looking and the kindness is a winning combination. Rare these days.

  4. Love your new hair and all your little gifts this week! How sweet! Daughter's boyfriend seems so sweet, too. I can't wait to hear about the Galentine's celebration. I went to an event yesterday that was sweet and I came home with some swag from several businesses.
