5 on Friday // winning

I'm shocked, truth be told, that I'm here again with another 5 on Friday. I guess when you actually have things to share it isn't so hard coming up with five items. And this week has been pretty great if I do say so myself ;)

On the Blog//


Nickle and Suede//
Nickle and Suede earrings

I have been a big fan of Kilee and her blog for years (fact: she was one of the first blogs I ever followed), so when she and her husband started their leather earring business, I was like #fangirl. Buuuuut I don't really wear earrings (3 holes later lol) so I just coveted from afar. Then two of my favorite ladies, Sarah and Vanessa tagged me in an IG giveaway and I won a pair! 

Favorite new recipe//
slow cooker pork chop recipe
As I mentioned earlier I'm counting calories and finding new recipes has been an obsession. Well, I found the perfect slow cooker pork chop recipe of all time here. It is so flavorful and tender! I made it twice in two weeks and the second time I shredded it and used it in tacos, yum. Sorry if you don't eat pork, we can pretend I never wrote this.

Bible Journaling//

One of my quarterly goals has been to create more time reading the Bible and getting in my worship. This month has been full of special dedicated Bible time and I feel so much better! Plus I've been practicing my watercolor painting.

GapKids and Baby Casting Call//

We all know my love for Gap goes wayyyy back to when I used to work there starting at 19 years old. So it's no surprise that I submit the girls into their open Casting Call every year. I mean, how fun, right?!

  5. Those earrings are gorgeous and look great on you!! I am loving your bible journaling! You’re so good at it. I have the bible, but haven’t started the journaling part of it. I think I am afraid I will ruin it. Not by marking in it, but by not being good at the illustrations part. Your girls would make the cutest little Gap models!! Happy weekend, friend!
