Feel Good Friday
Happy Friday!!!
what I've been up to...
Friday was our annual Fall Lake Day! One of my most favorite days of the year!!
Sweet sweet sleeping Sophie!!
The McDonald’s drive thru worker made my Saturday by saying, “you’re like really pretty, here’s your diet dr pepper”! What’s your weekend guilty pleasure?!
Cheered my sister & her volleyball team on until the very end. Sad that volleyball season is officially over.
Is there truly anything better than Trader Joe’s in the fall?!
outfits of the week…
For the past few months or so I’ve started *trying* to consistently share my OOTD (outfit of the day) just for fun! I’m typically able to link most pieces, but I also just share it to hopefully give a bit of inspiration & show you that you can recreate my outfits by just using pieces from your own closet.
Thursday…
My fall crewneck is from Hazel + Honey Boutique & SSTREF is my discount code!
Friday…
No OOTD since it was fall lake day!
Saturday…
Comfy Saturday OOTD!
Sunday…
OOTD for a Chiefs Sunday! ALLI25 is my discount code!
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday...
No OOTD since I stayed home sick Monday through Wednesday… I’m so blessed that some of my friends & coworkers were feeling bad for me that they surprised me with delicious food! Homemade chicken noodle soup & homemade shepherds pie hit the spot!
Thursday was a SUPER CRAZY day going back to school. I didn’t eat lunch until cheer practice at 3:45. I got a hug & a “I was worried about you!!” from one of my most challenging students. That warmed my heart like none other! I’m exhausted & thankful that there’s no school on Friday. I already need another rest day to recover! This was the sunrise as I left my houe & I just knew it would be a great day. & even though it was crazy busy, I was right!
in case you missed it...
Our family is a big fan of the crunch wrap supreme at Taco Bell, so we did some looking & found some copy cat recipes. We combined a few & made them one night. They were absolutely delicious! Click here to see the recipe.
This week has been such a downer being stuck at home sick. If you know me, you know how much I love my job & how hard it is for me to rest sometimes… especially when it’s forced. But life keeps going, even when you’re sick, so I tried to brighten my own mood by sharing my monthly what’s up Wednesday blog post! These posts cover everything from what I’ve been dreading & excited for, to what I’m loving lately — this Target quarter zip sweater is under that category!! How darling & cozy for fall!

friday favs...
Y’all know I love me some Chiefs football so I’m super excited to be doing a giveaway with Olive Street Boutique for one of you to get one item of YOUR CHOICE from their site!!! Check out my Instagram post here to see how to enter.
I was so dang excited to be able to go back to work on Thursday!!! I still wasn’t feeling 100%, but my kids & my job are worth it. All of you that have checked in on me & sent me kind messages have totally filled my heart & I’m so thankful for each of you! You all are the reason I love this little side gig! Adding on to that happy news, I’ve got some darn cute jewelry from ohbloomco to share with y’all + a sweet 20% off discount code (SMALLTOWN)!!! She’s got some darling pieces I know y’all will love!
I wore this crewneck to school yesterday for our “favorite sports team / jersey day” for Red Ribbon Week & I had multiple students crack up at it & say “that’s so YOU, Miss Rice!!” They all know that I’m not very competitive & just want everyone to have fun. That’s why everyone always gets candy during my classroom guidance lessons — everyone’s a winner! This crew that I love so much is just one of the many pieces from the CapSoul Closet’s collections! You can buy pieces individually, or you can buy a whole capsule which is so nice!! You can use ALLI20 for 20% off! Such a steal!
Time for a Walmart haul!
