Friday Favorites

January 15, 2021 By Ann Marie Scheidler Leave a Comment

Happy Friday! Two weeks into 2021 and we’re all still here. Hooray! (The bar is low, I know, but we’re celebrating all of the little victories, right?!?) To mark this mini-milestone, I’m resurrecting a favorite series of mine from early last year called “Friday Favorites,” a few things I’m loving lately. Here’s what’s on my radar this week!

  • J. Crew Quilted Puffer: We’re in that part of winter where our coats are EVERYTHING! I found this cute quilted puffer on major sale and it’s surprisingly warm. It comes in five colors and is a great layer if you’re just out running errands. It runs on the big side, so definitely size down. I bought a small and an extra small would have been better.
  • Raleigh Bird Tote: I hope I made you laugh last week when I shared all of the blog “merch” my family surprised me with under the Christmas tree. My favorite piece is this adorable custom tote from local shop Raleigh Bird. Owner Rebecca Asfour had the tote printed on both sides so that my blog’s long name fit. I absolutely love it!
  • Vitamin C: Yesterday I wrote a post about the real game-changer my daughter Grace and I discovered when it comes to skincare–Vitamin C. I use Beautycounter’s Counter+ All Bright C Serum morning and night and my skin has never weathered a winter as well as it has this one. Grace uses TruSkin, which you can find on Amazon for less than $20. It’s an inexpensive way to give yourself a little boost this winter.
  • Day Designer Planner: It might just be me, but it’s been hard to get some momentum going in 2021. If it weren’t for my obsessive list making in my Day Designer planner, I would definitely be up a creek. If you’re looking for a tool to help get you organized for the new year, this is a great one. Here’s a link to the post I wrote late last month about how I use mine.
  • The Woman Before Wallis: One of my goals for 2021 is to read more…I’m trying for a book a week. I was finally able to dive into The Woman Before Wallis by Bryn Turnbull over the holidays and I can’t put it down. I love all of the references to the British royal family, America’s high society, and all of the heartbreak that came along with the privilege.
  • Tiger: If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that I love me a documentary. Last Sunday, the first of a two-part series about Tiger Woods called Tiger was released on HBO. It is EXCELLENT! It’s the story of Tiger’s rise, fall, and comeback as told through the lens of some of those closest to him. It’s incredibly telling and gives his narrative a richer context. A must-watch this weekend for sure!

I hope this little post gives you some fun to look forward to as we head into the weekend. Happy Friday!

xo,

I made this spinach, cherry tomato, and Italian sa I made this spinach, cherry tomato, and Italian sausage pasta for dinner last night and it was so good! This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite bloggers, @lizadams from Hello Adams Family. It's one of those recipes that can be doctored to be just the way you like it, and you can swap out the pasta for your favorite gluten-free version if you like. This is a great dinner idea to add to your rotation. Happy Monday! ❤️⁣

Just a quick Sunday thank-you note for all of the Just a quick Sunday thank-you note for all of the support you gave to the blog post I shared on Friday. ❤️ My daughter Annie's thoughts about the importance of our high school reopening definitely connected with a lot of you and your children.⁣
⁣
The upcoming school board election on April 6 is going to be critical to our schools fully reopening with teachers in the building. Please take the time to read about the candidates running and be sure to vote for the people who will make this happen.⁣
 ⁣
We are certainly all in this together! Hang in there! xo ❤️
Last night at dinner I told my family that I was g Last night at dinner I told my family that I was going to have to take a break from social media. I had finally hit my limit of crazy when it comes to the discussion of our local high school reopening. While I realize there is no easy path to making this happen, it must. The reasons for not opening no longer make any sense to me.⁣
⁣
As I was on my soapbox at the dinner table, I watched my daughter Annie’s body language completely change. (She's pictured here in this photo with her brother Leo.) When I asked her what was up, she said that no one has really asked her what she thinks of the high school’s current learning environment. So I asked Annie if she would be up for sharing her thoughts about the current status of LFHS--and she was--and I've captured them in today's blog post. ⁣
⁣
Please know, I just share Annie’s answers in the hopes of shining a light on another perspective when it comes to reopening our schools. Our family LOVES Lake Forest High School. Annie is our fourth child to attend there. My husband and I took a leap from the Catholic education we grew up in to send our kids to the public school and our expectations have been exceeded every step of the way until this last year. The pandemic caught us all off guard, and grace must be given for that. But it’s time to figure this out. ⁣
⁣
With that said, please click on the link in my bio to read Annie's thoughts.❤️
Friends, it's been a doozy of a couple of days. Ca Friends, it's been a doozy of a couple of days. Car troubles, computer problems, even my oven decided to give me a run for my money. But we're back at it today, tackling those to-dos, and feeling grateful for the heatwave! ☀️☀️☀️⁣

How's your week going?⁣
