Did someone say Friday? It's time to link up with the ladies to share what made us smile this week. It's always such a happy post and I get so many good ideas!

I finished this and despite the ghost in the story, it was probably one of my favorites of hers. Also, in the back of the book, Elin includes her recommendations for a visit to Nantucket. I thought that was a nice touch.

And, then I started this. I think I picked it up on a whim at my library and I am really enjoying it! I loved having time to read outside over my fall break and after school with our wonderful weather. Real question: what am I gonna do when I can't read outside anymore? I am looking for an armchair for my bedroom but have not had any luck. I really want to use it and not just throw clothes on it or have a place for Tom to put his hideous Tour de Tom biking costume.

I didn't get a great picture of the beautiful bride and her groom from last weekend, so I stole this one to show you.

Monday I was able to meet my friends for brunch at our new First Watch near my house.

It was really nice and a fun thing to do on my last day of break.

I got back to meal prep and am enjoying breakfast burritos this week. I use a La Banderita brand low carb tortilla, some scrambled eggs, some shredded cheese, one Amylu chicken sausage breakfast link, and a few pieces of microwaved and diced potato. I wrap them up and put them in the freezer and pull one out each morning to take to school.

I had a spontaneous happy hour Tuesday after school to hear about Erica's fall break trip upstate New York where she visited family and toured lakes and wineries.

I hadn't eaten much for lunch that day and was starving. We had their homemade potato chips with dips and...

pretzel sticks and beer cheese.

on a cute patio. Ok Amy, time to get back to normal!

My face has been so dry and painful. I finally slathered this on one night before bed and saw immediate results and relief the next day. I have never had such a dry face so I am trying to figure it out. Any recommendations?

Over break, I used my Bath and Body coupons (usually I can't make this work - I forget them or they have expired!)

I got this for free:

And, the 3 wick candles were on sale for $13.50 and I had a 20% off.

I got this:

And cinnamon pumpkin. I'm enjoying burning one inside and one outside. I am not into "saving" things. I want to use them now and enjoy them.

One of our lunches this week made by me was this Doritos taco salad. We each only use 5 Doritos and it has iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, a tiny bit of cheese, fat free sour cream, and taco sauce, along with taco meat made with Laura's lean ground beef.
