Good morning! Are you just as excited about the weekend as I am?
While I am scheduled to work tomorrow morning, I am looking forward to zero plans for the rest of the day. Scott and I are joining a group of family friends on Sunday for some holiday fun, and I’m pumped to say that I’m not running around like a crazy person rounding up last minute gifts and to-dos for once. I guess I’m finally growing up!
I like to end every week by sharing what I have been loving lately through a series and link-up called Friday Favorites, and this week is no exception. Let’s get right on to the good stuff, and please feel free to play along in the comments and link-up sections below. Happy Friday!
Friday Favorites #120: Week of 12/18
• ugly sweater cookie kit
How fun is this ugly sweater cookie kit?
Scott won it as a prize for one of his cookies at the Cookie Decorating Party we attended last weekend, and I’m looking forward to breaking into it. A Christmas Day cookie decorating activity perhaps?
I do know it was purchased from Five Below, and you can also find it . Oh, and cookies. I had to round this section out by typing “cookies” seven times.
• Bombas
*Spoiler alert*
There’s a Bombas (<- affiliate link) giveaway coming your way very soon!
In the mean time, I will tell you that I have been loving my new Bombas athletic socks, and especially the wool pair shown in front. I’ll be back to share more of the details before you know it.
(Sorry for the tease, I wanted to mention them in case you’re in need of more gift ideas – these socks are where it’s at!)
• 2941 Street Food
Scott and I drove by this restaurant a few weeks ago, and we were excited to stop in and give it a try this week! 2941 Mediterranean Street Food is the new Chipotle of Metro Detroit, you guys. It’s SO good and so fresh. Everything is made to order, and you select every part of your salad, bowl, wrap, or plate as you go down the ordering line.
They have only been open a little over two weeks, and are already doing really well. The owner greeted us as we walked in and explained the concept of the restaurant as well as a thorough overview of all of the specialties and facts about ingredients. I loved that it’s a non-GMO restaurant and only uses cane sugar to sweeten things. Also, the (free) cucumber lemon water is money.
(that bread though…)
We had a hard time deciding what to order, but we ended up splitting the Bazaar meal to sample a little bit of everything. The sauces, dips, and hummus… oh my goodness.
He also told us the meaning of the name: 29N/41E is the Longitude and Latitude for the Mediterranean and Mideast.
Everything was tried was so, so good. The prices were great, so I’m sure this will become a regular spot for us!
• holiday movies
I’ve been on a bit of a holiday movie kick ever since Thanksgiving Weekend. I know… shocking.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen all of the classics on Netflix, but I’m still making my rounds with the others while I finish wrapping gifts and working on the computer at night. Oh, and I finally watched White Christmas for the first time a few weeks ago when my mom was in town. I know, I’m a weirdo. For what it’s worth, I loved it!
• MOD Pizza
This one’s another great restaurant find for my Detroit(ish) readers, but they’re all over the country, too! Have you ever heard of MOD Pizza?
This week has been pretty busy for me at night, so we took it upon ourselves to grab dinner out more than normal. The good news is, we got two made-to-order, customized pizzas for a steal.
I can’t believe I didn’t find MOD Pizza sooner. Once again, it’s fresh, quality food – quick – and totally customizable. Just like you would order a sub from a sandwich shop, you pick your crust, your sauce, your protein, and all the toppings you want for your pizza.
The best part of it all is that you aren’t charged for extra toppings. You can literally put every option on top and be charged the same reasonable price as you would a regular cheese. Genius!
Scott ordered some kind of barbecue chicken combo and I went with my standard chicken and #alltheveggies option on the right. I came seriously close to eating it all in one sitting, too. It’s that good.
• family snuggles
Because… is there anything better?
Hardly.

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
White Christmas is one of my favorite movies ever!!

I can’t believe it took me so long to watch it. I’d watch it again for sure! <3
So MOD pizza is just like Blaze pizza here. I LOVE that place. Alex and I actually tried out a new take and bake pizza place last night that was super delicious–it had butternut squash cream sauce! Have a great weekend, Heather!
Susie @ SuzLyfe recently posted…Favorite Easy Healthy Recipes of 2015
Yes! I’ve heard great things about Blaze, too. We have one close by, so you just reminded me to go check it out. YUM – that butternut squash cream sauce sounds amazing!
That ugly sweater decorating kit puts my frosted-and-sprinkled cutouts to shame 😉 It looks so cute! Have a wonderful weekend, Heather!
Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday recently posted…Five Friday Favorites 12/18/15
Haha, I’m sure your cookies are cute and delicious. 😉 Happy weekend to you, and thanks for linking up!
Haha I love those ugly sweater cookies!
We just got a pizza place that’s really similar to MOD. It’s amazing food and I love that you only pay one price and can get as many toppings as you want. Considering my pizza obsession, I’m super happy to have that place around!
Have a great weekend!

Thanks Kelly! I love the concept of MOD and similar restaurants so much. What a great idea!
That MOD Pizza place sounds AMAZING. Basically all of my dreams come true.
Morgan @ Morgan Manages Mommyhood recently posted…Friday Favorites #33
Haha, basically yes. Such a great idea! Happy Friday!
That street food looks SO yummy!!! Ohmygosh

Right? I can’t wait to go back! I always forget how delicious Mediterranean food is until I eat it 😉
Hi Heather! Yay for the weekend! That’s great you FINALLY saw White Christmas. It’s my favorite Christmas movie for sure. And I happen to love family snuggles too. Great favorite. 🙂 Have a lovely couple of days, my friend!

Right? It only took me 30 years. It’s a great film! Enjoy your holiday-filled weekend, friend. Thanks for linking up!
Oh my gosh, I want the ugly sweater Christmas cookie kit! So cute!
Kristin recently posted…Mother Nature And Friday Favorites
It’s online for a great price. I just might give one to my niece! 😉
That delivery camoflauge pic!! LOL! Made me laugh!
We have a weekend of travel ahead of us….with two little kids. Should be a blast. 😉
Annette@FitnessPerks recently posted…Friday Favorites {12/18/15}
Haha, me too. Glad to know I’m not the only one! 😉 Enjoy your weekend… and good luck! 🙂
Okay, now I’m really hungry after reading this post and seeing all of those food photos, LOL. My hubby and I have been trying to save money by eating at home lately, so I’m especially jealous. Glad you had a great time checking out those restaurants! Loving the hidden box photo. I’ve had that happen to me a few times. We order food for our dogs from Amazon, and we had a bag delivered a few days ago. I was half hoping a thief would think it was something good because it’s heavy and in a big box, and would take it home and discover it’s just dog food.
Hope you have a great weekend, Heather!
Beth @ Sublimely Fit recently posted…Friday Favorites #60
Haha, whoops! I know, today’s post was very full of food. We’ve been eating in a lot lately too, so it’s been nice to get out this week. Surprisingly, both places were very affordable! Can’t wait to go back 😉 Too funny about the dog food… really, who steals that stuff… here’s hoping we both get everything that was supposed to be delivered this year. Happy weekend!
Those ugly sweater cookies are hilarious! I love that haha Thanks for sharing!! And I need some new wool socks. Hoping there are some in my stocking!
alexandra @ my urban family recently posted…Friday Favorites Week 19
These Bombas wool socks are mighty comfy! Just sayin’ 😉 Happy weekend!
I’m totally obsessed with MOD. They opened one up right down the street from my house a few months ago and we always go there. I have a gluten allergy and they’re gfree is ON POINT!!! And the price is great too! You should totally try the salad and flatbread combo.. It’s the bomb! And yes, I’m totally guilty of being able to eat it in one sitting! Happy Friday!!!!
I didn’t even look to see if they had gluten-free crust, but I did assume that was the case. It’s good to know it’s good, too! YUM I’m already wanting to go back… 😉 Have a great weekend!
I am a quality sock gal, so I am looking forward to that giveaway! Hope you have a fabulous weekend, Heather!!

Me dull. You smart. That’s just what I needed.
Love that cookie decorating kit! Might have to order one for next year. I’m glad you posted your thoughts on MOD pizza because I just saw one in our area the other day and was wondering how it was. Since I pretty much want pizza all the time 😉 Might have to try it out soon!
It’s SO good – you would love the selection of fresh ingredients, and I heard the gluten-free crust is good, too. Let me know if you end up going!
I love the ugly sweater cookie decoration set! It’s so funny…

I’m pretty excited about breaking into it soon!
White Christmas is one of my all time favorite movies, but it’s the only one I haven’t watched yet this season! MOD pizza sounds awesome and I’m really close to their Rochester Hills location, can’t wait to try it out 🙂

I can’t believe this was the first year I actually sat and watched it. What took me so long? You should definitely try out MOD! (and hey, neighbor!)
