Happy Friday! Is anyone else ready for the weekend?! Better yet, is everyone ready for the holidays? My daughter has been home sick all week with both the flu AND COVID this week! I am hoping we get all the sick germs out before the holidays and the rest of us stay healthy! Here are five from this week:
1. Dinner Date– Saturday night my husband and I were able to go out for a quick dinner date before we did some holiday shopping. We visited Whiskey River in Peekskill for the first time. I love how all the holiday decorations! You can see my Instagram reel to see more of the restaurant and what we ate!
2. Reading – This week I didn’t finish reading anything but I am almost done with Mistletoe and Mr. Right. This is the second in the Moose Springs, Alaska series and is an enjoyable read.
3. Cooking – The menu this week included Roasted Cauliflower Burrito Bowls, a very adapted version of these Coconut Curry Ramen Noodles, Cheesy Weeknight Tortellini Skillet and Grilled Cheese and ramen.
4. First Snow – Last Sunday we got our first real snowfall of the season. I love how beautiful the snow looks on the branches! Unfortunately, based on the timing there were no school delays on Monday!
5. Watching – this week I watched The Noel Diary which was an okay movie (Netflix). My husband and I just started watching Fleishman is in Trouble on Hulu. It has a great cast, but is not a light, happy show. We are also continuing to watch Somebody Feed Phil (Netflix), which does fit the light and happy category!
6. Meme: I’m not a big drinker, but the present wrapping struggle is real!
7. Guilty Eats posts – Here are links to some of my recent Guilty Eats posts.

Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
I am so sorry to hear that your daughter is sick with both the Flu and Covid!! I hope the rest of you manage to stay healthy. We got snow Sunday into Monday too and went out hiking Monday to take some snowy woods photos. (My son did have a 2 hour delay on Monday). Thankfully today’s storm was just rain and washed it all away (unlike other parts of our state that are getting another 15 possible inches of snow).
Yikes, I hope your daughter feels better soon! And I get so annoyed when I’m wrapping, UGH haha. I just can never get crisp edges! This year, I was like “hey, maybe I’ll wrap some gifts for a change,” and now I’m remembering why I usually do gift bags lol!!
