My Favorites From This Week

July 24 by Christina Tiplea Filed Under: My Life, Weekend Reads

My Favorites From This WeekHappy Friday, Friends!

I’m seriously looking forward to a relaxing weekend with lots of family time. We are celebrating my cousin’s 18th birthday tomorrow, which is kind of crazy to me because I feel like she was just born yesterday and now she’s off to college in a few weeks. Where does the time go?! I can’t imagine how I’m going to feel when Little Miss turns 18…I’m just going to pretend that’s never going to happen!

In other news, Embracing Simple is Instagram official! I am making it my goal to get more active on there and start sharing fun tidbits of my day with you guys, so I’d love it if you want to show me some love and follow me @embracingsimple.

Here are some of my favorites from this past week:

1. A few of my favorite blog posts

Why I’m Setting Myself Back In My Career In Favor Of A Happier LifeΒ from Elite Daily

5 Ways to be Generous within Your Financial Limits from Simplicity Relished

2. Favorite thing I did this week

Had a fun lunch date with my “little” brother Mike on Sunday. I have to put quotes around little because although he may be my younger baby brother, he’s 6’8, so he’s not exactly little πŸ˜‰ .

It’s rare that we get to spend a lot of one-on-one time together these days, so I really cherish time alone with him. It was a great time! I’m kicking myself for not getting a picture of our bro & sis lunch date though, dang it!

I did however find this sweet throwback picture of us for your viewing pleasure. We were pretty cute, right?My Favorites From This Week

3. Favorite Pinterest find

I found this pin for a Watermelon Lemonade recipe from Cooking Classy and I was instantly drooling over how refreshing it would be to sip on this! Beverage perfection, am I right?!

    I love that picture of you and your brother. You two are so cute! And that’s my favorite quote. I try to push myself and do everything that scares me.

    I’ve made that frozen lemonade, but it’s even more awesome if you add a mint simple syrup and freeze it! Watermelon lemonade mint popsicles- yum!

      Aw thank you so much Lyle! It’s fun to share a bit more about my personal life, and I’m glad that people seem to be enjoying it rather than being bored by it like I initially thought they would be, lol! Have a great start to your week!! πŸ™‚

    I just want to pinch those little cheeks! Nicely of course! It’s been so hot and humid over the past couple of days, so that lemonade sounds awesome!

      Ugh here too Tennille, so muggy out! We did manage to make it to the park early this morning though to have some fun before it got too hot out today πŸ™‚
