Hi there and Happy Friday! I’m looking forward to catching up on some studying and reading today and have plans to lay low tonight before a busy weekend begins.
I might sound lame today, but tomorrow Scott and I are heading down to Ohio for the day to experience our first HalloWeekends at Cedar Point. (Thank you so much for the tickets, Anna-Marie!) Woo hoo!
Any fun and exciting plans on your end?
Getting right to business around here, let’s move on to this week’s edition of Friday Favorites. Below you will find a collection of things that made me smile this week, and as always, I invite you to share (and link up) some things you have been loving in the comments section!
Friday Favorites #56: Week of 9/26
• Tervis tumblers
I’m pretty sure Tervis produces the best plastic cups, water bottles, and to-go insulated beverage containers out there.
Thanks to our talented and very generous friend who is a graphic designer for them (Hi Rusty!), our Tervis collection keeps on growing. How cute is the colorful line?
This bright bunch of 16 oz. tumblers has been what I gravitate towards for almost anything throughout the day. I absolutely love them!
I am also infatuated by their water bottles. I own the “H” initial bottle as well as a Detroit Pistons bottle, and they both continuously rotate in and out of our dishwasher. I literally use one of them almost every day, and have been ordering the same ones as gifts for friends too.
So far I have a handful of people hooked! I love that they are insulated, keep warm beverages warm, cool beverages cool, and feature a spill-proof flip-up top. (Thanks again, Rusty!)
• 6 Things That Happened When I Gave Up Dairy via FitSugar.
Interesting! I might just have to consider this with all of my recent upset tummy spells.
• fall (comfy) clothes
Nothing says Fall is here like an oversized sweater, skinny jeans, and boots.
I posted this photo on Instagram earlier this week and a lot of you agree!
The sweater is from Stitch Fix (similar, similar, similar), the jeans are from Forever 21, and the combat boots are from ALDO (similar, similar, similar), for those who asked.
• Weird Things All Couples Fight About via Buzzfeed.
Hahaha… that is SO us!
• kitchen gadgets from Pylones (Paris)
I was so excited to see Scott when I picked him up from the airport yesterday! As soon as he started driving us home, he popped a cute packaged present onto my lap and I couldn’t wait to open it. Isn’t is adorable?
It was from a unique home and office accessories store called Pylones that (good news!) is also over here in America. Woot!
Inside were three awesome and very useful kitchen gadgets.

I wish I could find the salad servers online to share. They’re so fun!
• pumpkin munchkins
After I finished up my work at Dunkin’ Donuts yesterday, I couldn’t leave without trying a couple of pumpkin munchkins.
I know I enjoy most things pumpkin, but donuts aren’t always a win for me. These, friends, are amaze-balls! And I’m only using that term because they are literally amazing balls of dough and pumpkin.
Anddd the middle is orange, so there’s that. Go try some!
• 90’s Slang We Need To Bring Back Immediately via Hello Giggles.
YESSSSSS!
• impromptu trip to the cider mill
Scott suggested we stop by Yates Cider Mill on the way home from the airport. Who am I to say no?
We brought home a half gallon of apple cider and couldn’t leave without getting a couple of cider slushes for the road.
That’s right… cider slushes. They’re ridiculously delicious.
We also might have taken a Yates dutch apple pie home with us as well. Funny how it came with a piece missing…

Hilarious.

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)
It’s so sad to me that I live so close to so many amazing fall activities, but that the likelihood of me going is so small (because I obviously would want to do it with my husband!).Speaking of, my husband will be so, so jealous of you going to Cedar Point. He LOVES amusement parks. Have fun for him? Have a great weekend–I’m sure you’ll have some hair-raising experiences!
I feel ya. I love right across from our community pool (literally like 20 feet) and I’ve never been. We’ve lived here for 2 years!! Who knows why. I was the same about going to the parks when we lived in Orlando. And the beach! We barely went!
I’ve been wanting one of those Tervis tumblers forever! Maybe this weekend I’ll pick on up after seeing your collection. How do you make a cider slushie?! That sounds incredible! Have an awesome time at Cedar Point – my sister went there a few weekends ago with her bf and had a blast, so I’m sure you will too 🙂 Welcome to Ohio!
They have a ton at Bed, Bath & Beyond and you can usually find a 20% coupon online!
Pumpkin munchkins are the best! I agree – Regular pumpkin donuts aren’t my thang but the minis are the perfect amount of pumpkin spice 🙂
Two were plenty for me! My stomach always gets weird with donuts. If I have too many, I’m screwed. Munchkins are perfect 🙂
I like the vlog! Can you do one on your daily life from start till finish? 😛
Thank you! Ha, I’ll have to work on that. Not sure if you’re ready for it… 😉
I am officially on the hunt for a cider slushie and those salad servers!! Have fun tomorrow!
Thanks!! We will!!! xo
I love the Buzzfeed couples fight videos on YouTube, so funny. Also that Cider in the UK is an alcoholic beverage the idea that you can get it in slushie form excites me, even if yours is the none hicky burpy inducing variety.
Cider in the US is an alcohol too! Sorry, that’s probably confusing. This is actually apple cider, freshly pressed, from a cider mill. There isn’t any alcohol in it, but MAN that would be yummy!
that couples video is hilarious and so true! 🙂 cracks me up. and YAY to fall bucket lists!
Yay! I’d love to hear what’s on yours. Happy Friday and Fall 🙂
That couple video when they pick a restaurant is so me and my husband! HA! A place close to us serves the most delicious pumpkin doughnuts–so good!
Ha, isn’t it? I think everyone can relate to that one!! Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!!! We’ve heard Tervis Tumblers are great but haven’t used them yet. Those drinking buddies and airplane doodles are hilarious!!! That trip to the cider mall sounds great, and a cider slushy? Who knew! Have a great weekend!
They are wonderful! I’ve loved them for years and they always make great gifts 🙂
Pumpkin munckins! Oh man those are SO good! Have a wonderful Friday!
So glad I tried them!! YUM.
Love those tumblrs! And I would agree I think they produce the best. I’m curious to see if a cup I received as a gift a couple years ago is one now! And Oh Em Gee, those pumpkin munckins look so good!!! I can’t wait until it gets cooler here, then I can wear my oversized sweater and have an excuse to buy some more 😉
I need to get more this year! I constantly re-wear the same 3 or 4. Happy Friday!
Ha! I included the “Couple” video in my Friday post, too! Great minds think alike.
I’m obsessed with my knock-off Tervis. I plan on registering for several of them for my wedding. They are the best cups!!
Hehehe… 🙂 and yes, they really are!
I absolutely love Tervis cups! I use mine all day every day!! My sister got me one that says Bride on it for my bachelorette party. 🙂
I love the bride ones. That’s a great sister you have! 😉
Love the colorful tumblers! Those are so cute. The “Couple” video is too funny. Thanks for sharing! Have a great Friday.
Thanks! Just need one more to complete the set 😉 Happy Weekend! xo
CUTE fall outfit – I especially love the boots! I can’t wait to pull all of that out, but it’ll likely be at least another month until the weather cooperates and cools down.
Haha I saw the video about things couples fight about – totally us too! Especially the toilet paper roll thing!
Have a fun weekend! xo
The toilet paper issue is constant! And then there’s the discussion of dinner… and shoes… and toothpaste. Ha, all of it!
Those Tervis cups are really cute and please let’s not talk about those Pylone gadgets! So fancy!!
By the way loved your vlog! 🙂
Thanks Elsie!!
Cracking up at those doodles!!! I watched your YouTube video yesterday and it sucked me in. Thanks for reminding us all we need to stop getting sucked into the comparison trap.
P.S. I love the colour of your fall boots. They kinda look like suede from here – are they?
I didn’t think so, but then I went onto the ALDO website and an identical pair says gray suede. Who knew?! 🙂
I love the Fall Bucket List and the fact that you’re going to Halloweekends– sounds so festive! I’m jealous of all the fall goodness going on in this post. I feel like celebrating the fall season was a huge thing back in Pittsburgh, but here in Southern California…not so much 😛 Definitely one of the things I miss most about my hometown! Hope you have a great weekend, Heather!
I am pretty spoiled with an amazing fall here… but just wait until winter!! You win. 😉
I showed that “couples” video to my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago and we both cracked up so hard! We aren’t even engaged yet (been together almost 4 years now) and we even related to most of the scenes and scenarios! Hilarious. Every single time. Also, I cannot wait to indulge in more pies this Fall. Pie is my favorite dessert.
Isn’t it great?! Haha! I can’t wait for pumpkin pie!
Home Skillet!! Let’s bring that back! I used to say that all the time. That couple video is hilarious because of course it’s true. I already made my first apple pie of the season and am headed with my sons class to the orchard on Tuesday so I’d say I’m doing well on the fall activities list. With two little guys we always have the same fall traditions, apple orchards, pumpkin patch, raking leaves, and of course I’ll eat all the pumpkin-y things that are provided. Those heads drawn on other bodies is fantastic! I’ve never seen that before.
