Monthly Musings January 2020: Let's Talk About Love

Welcome to the first installment of Monthly Musings with Holly and Patty. I am so excited to join my blog co-host Holly of Pink Lady for the first edition of our Monthly Musings. Today we are answering questions about Love. Are you ready to jump into the first Monthly Musings? I am!

1) Candy Conversation Hearts...Yes or No?

I don't mind one or two of them but they are not my favorite.  What I think are much Better are the SweetTart kind. Now those...those I totally get into.

What's Up Wednesday--January 2020

It's the first What's Up Wednesday of 2020. What's up this month, it feels like a lot.  Let's dive in with with Shay and Sheaffer for this fun link up! Let's talk January Besties!

What Were Eating This Week

Monday-Chicken stir fry

Tuesday-There was a request from Hockey Guy for Sausage and Polenta

Wednesday-This will be a busy night as I have a meeting and Hockey Guy has Cotillion. He will probably have something like a grilled cheese with fruit and I have not clue about anything else.

Thursday-It will just be Hockey Guy and me so I will probably make him a meatball sub with salad and then just will just have some meatballs with salad.

Friday-Pizza night.

Introducing Monthly Musings link up

Just a quick post on this Monday morning to announce the new link up that I have with Holly. We are changing gears with our link up on the last Thursday of the month and introducing Monthly Musings. I hope you will join us as either a linked up blogger or reader.  All are welcome.

Each month we will post a series of fun, easy questions around a theme to answer. I will typically post on Sunday or Monday of the week of the link up on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and right here on this very blog, so make sure you are following me on social media if you are no already. Write as much or as little as you would like.  Add in photos or affiliate links for products that go along with the theme.  Anything you want! Holly and I want this to be fun and easy.

Friday Favorites: Catch and Kill, Hand Warmers, Boot Tray, Winter Blooms, Cozy PJs, New Linkup

This was a full week for me and a busy week for all of us in the Good Better Best household. Now it is time to take a breath for Friday Favorites and link up with Erika, Andrea, Narci for the things that are bringing me Joy this week.

1) Pocket Hand Warmer

Two of the moms on our hockey team had this hand warmer and busted them out at our games this weekend. All you do is charge it and leave it in your bag and bust it out when you need it. It heats up quickly and gets really warm. I cannot believe I didn't know about this until now. I chose the rose gold color, of course, but it comes in other colors too.

Friday Favorites: Best Hair Tool, The Royals, Best Dry Skin Lotion, NJ Housewives, Hot Toddy

Hey there Friday, Good to see you. I am working from home later today and Monday due to some construction in my office. I love these Fridays when I can settle in and get some work done in a cozy environment. We are supposed to have a cold snap over the next few days which will be interesting because it was 60 degrees last weekend!  Before I settle into work for my day job, it's time for Friday Favorites with Erika, Andrea, Narci. Here are the things that are bringing me Joy this week.

1) The Best Hair Tool

You have probably seen other bloggers post about this Revlon styler and volumizer or maybe even have a friend who has one. I grabbed one last weekend because they are majorly on sale for right about $35...wait...what???  I can totally tell you that it lives up to the hype.

Friday Favorites: Luxury Serum, Best Weekender, Hallmarkie Awards and The Bachelor is Back

Whew, this week flew by. I was worried that it would drag because it is the first full week in a while but it seemed so fast. We had a little excitement on Tuesday with some "snow" and an early release day, with traffic so bad it took two hours to get home, and a snow day on Wednesday. Now it's Friday and it's time for Friday Favorites with Erika, Andrea, Narci and share the things that are bringing me Joy this week.

1) Dior Serum

Dior Capture Total

Ok Besties, my first Friday Favorite is a little pricey but it is a Good product. I was recently sent a sample of the Dior Capture Totale serum to try and review. It is definitely in the luxury skincare category but it did make my skin look Better. My make up went on Better and the Best part was no breakouts.  Some of you may know that I have crazy sensitive skin, but this Dior product didn't irritate my skin at all. If you have been thinking about trying a luxury serum you should try this out.

Second Annual Hallmarkie Awards

Well, the 10th Annual Count Down to Christmas on the Hallmark Channel is over, but I do have a little treat for you, a recap of the Second Annual Hallmarkie Awards. For the second year in a row a group of us got together on Saturday for food, fun, trivia and the love of all things Hallmark.

Hosted by Miss D again, there were about ten of us on Saturday. Some of us like Hallmark, some of us LOVE Hallmark and some of us barely watch Hallmark.

Friday Favorites: Best of 2019

Why hello 2020! Glad to see you on this first Friday. It's time for Friday Favorites with Erika, Andrea, Narci, and today we are looking back at the Best posts of 2019. These are the most read posts from last year. Was one of these your favorite?

5) Sewing Down South Party

In late September, Running Daddy, our friend and I had VIP tickets to the pillow party with Craig Conover of Southern Charm and his Sewing Down South venture. He was super sweet and spent a lot of time with everyone. We remain #TeamCraig. You can read all about the party here.
