Happy Friday friends! Cannot believe we are wrapping up the last few days of August. Even though I do like the "ber" months, I am not there yet!
As usual, I am linking up with Andrea & Erika for a little Friday Favorites. A peek into a few of my favorite things from the week.
one
I feel like our time in the convertible is limited as summer is waning, so last Friday Paul and I took a ride to grab dinner. It was a beautiful night and I wore my official favorite sunglasses from the Summer. They are less than $15 and I got them in black and like a light tan color.
Spicy margaritas and nachos are my favorite. I could eat this multiple times per week.
One of our favorite restaurants, 189 Burger, specializes in brussell sprouts. While I know that my sound random, they are the perfect side to their burgers!

Last week, my sister and I went to see NKOTB. I saw them like 34 years ago and I have to admit they were still pretty impressive up there! My sister Emma, is the biggest Donnie Wahlberg fan.

We live about half an hour from Niagara Falls and I think we take for granted that it’s so close and don’t go very often. I was traveling with a new partner for work this week and he had never seen the Falls. We took a quick detour in our travels yesterday and stopped by to see it in the morning. I forget how beautiful it is. It’s wild to listen to the water just rushing down. My favorite season to see the Falls is actually in Winter.

Last weekend we had both of our parents over along with my sister for dinner on Sunday. I picked the perfect flowers from our front garden to put on the table!
We had a great meal, with grilled pork tenderloin, roasted zucchini, roasted sweet potatoes, and I made this corn casserole for the first time. Everybody raved about it. I followed this recipe here. I won’t say it’s the healthiest recipe in the world, but it was delicious and would be great in the Fall with barbecue or pork. I also think it would be a perfect Thanksgiving side.

I did some back-to-school shopping last weekend for the kids. It was a risky move, as I went by myself and hoped for the best that they would like what I came home with. I must say I did pretty well!
I got these sneakers For Ella. Full disclosure, she had requested this specific sneaker and they were even cuter in person then online.
I feel like whether it is 30° or 80°. Luke is in shorts. This style from Nike is one of his current favorites. I got these three colors to add to his current black and white.
If you missed my post on Wednesday, I shared a fun recap of what we have been up to this month. you can check it out here.
Have a great weekend friends!
See you back here on Tuesday, there is always room for one more at our family table.

August has really flown over but I am ready for September and getting back into a routine.
ReplyDeleteI love those sunglasses and I could just eat some nachos now.
Oh wow! I used to love NKOTB and how wonderful to live so close to Niagra Falls.
Those sneakers are so cute, I love the colour. Good job with the back to school shopping.
