TGIF! I love Fridays. The end of the work week and looking ahead to the weekend makes me smile. Some Fridays I indulge in a tall flat white from Starbucks on my way to work as a little celebration. Not every Friday but a few. Today I’m off work because I’m indulging in a day of doctor’s appointments. Not my favorite way to spend the day but it has to be done. Typically, I do these appointments in August around my birhtday. In a strange sense of humor I say I’m taking the day as my birthday present to see the doctor. It was hectic last summer and I never got the appoinments made so I thought January would be a great time to get these knocked out. Hopefully, all is well!
My favorite posts from the last week are….
{ONE}
I read this post by Sierra from Beautifully Candid a week ago and I all I could do was shake my head in agreement.
{TWO}
On Monday I read this post by Katie from Preppy Empty Nester. I laughed out loud through the entire post. Then I promptly became a follower because I could use more humor in my life. My little introverted self is witty in real life but not in print so I admire those who have that skill set.

{THREE}
Amber from Wildbloom shared a post about her word for the quarter. I loved this idea because it gives a marking point to go back and re-evaluate in a smaller incriment of time instead of waiting until December.

{FOUR}
I have to confess I have officially joined the Insta Pot craze and I am not sorry. No, not at all. I love it, wholeheartedly. When I read this post from Cotter Crunch about oatmeal in the Insta Pot I was totally drooling and hope to try it very soon!

{FIVE}
During 2018, I am planning to find and follow some new blogs. One that I recently stumbled across is Brighton the Day. This little beauty hails from Dallas so I had to become an immediate follower {stalker} or whatever you might name it. Anyway, Brighton shared a post about 5 Books to Motivate you in 2018 + she wore a fab outfit. The post is here.
I hope you love these posts and maybe find a new blogger or two to follow in 2018. Have a great weekend and I’ll be back on Monday with resolutions with The Blended Blog tribe.
By the way, it’s not too late to sign up for Spread the Love Gift Exchange. Go here to get the details.

Be blessed! ~ Carrie
