Happy Friday friends! I have some fun things to share today that have been making me smile lately. Speaking of friends…
Did my fellow Netflix lovers hear that EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE of FRIENDS will be available for streaming on Netflix starting January 1st? Every single one. So much for starting the year off on a productive note.
Other things I’m loving lately…
The POPKEY APP. Think of it of emojis on steroids. With this animated keyboard you can send GIFS! Basically I may never use words again. Thank you Alise, for bringing this time suck obsession into my life.
Sushi from Joel’s. Because some nights you just need to pick up dinner and keep your kitchen clean.
Baby snuggles. Kaitlyn had a little case of the sniffles the past few days, which led to many a snuggle. She’d fall asleep on me while nursing, so we just went with it. How can you be upset about a snuggly baby?
Bone Broth. Speaking of sniffles, with cold season upon us, I’m loving bone broth. I like to make my own, but was recently sent a sampler from Pacific Foods of their new organic bone broth! So cool. I plan on keeping it on hand to sip in a warm mug if I feel under the weather.
Home Design. My friend Alexis just started a blog and posted recently about how to style book shelves. I’m certain it was aimed directly at me and my lack of style sense (juuust kidding A-lex!), but she did offer some great tips and I plan to spend nap time reconfiguring my bookshelf. It’s a wild life I lead.
Koda snuggles. It’s just been a snuggly week over here all around. Hooray for cooler temperatures! Koda usually stays on her specified couch blanket, but last night she cinnamon-rolled up right on me. I didn’t have the heart to move her. I did, however, feel just fine using the flash in her face. Sorry pup.
This sweater! I fully intended to take some fashion pictures from the challenge, but it hasn’t really happened. And while I wouldn’t deem this outfit (and greasy ponytail) I’m sporting to be super fashionable, it’s not yoga pants. And the sweater- oh man, it doesn’t get any more comfortable. Plus it’s on sale right now! I may or may not have a different color sitting in my online cart waiting to be decided on.
I’m looking for something fun and fall-ish to do this Saturday. I’m considering the Amazing Maize Maze that Julie visited or hitting up Patterson Farms. Do any local friends have any other suggestions?
What are you loving lately?
John J. Stathas says
That picture is YOU!
Molly says
We’re going to Patterson farms for a birthday party Sunday. I’ve never been and am excited! If you ever want fashion pics, I can take them for you!
Brittany Dixon says
You’d laugh so hard trying to get me to look fashionable. Teach me your ways! Patterson Farms is adorable- you’ll love it!
Molly says
Also, now I want sushi and need to try Joel’s! You know we’re getting a Sushi at the Lake up here?
Brittany Dixon says
Yes! I saw that. Girls night when it opens?
karyn says
Where did you get those boots from!?
Brittany Dixon says
They are from Rack Room but they are about 3 years old. Still, I’d check there because I’m sure they have some similar ones for cheap 🙂 (Mine were only $30!)
Lindsey @ SimplyLindsey says
January 1st can’t come soon enough!! My husband and I are finishing a Friends marathon and I don’t have the last season, so it’s perfect timing! 🙂
Brynn says
We are having sushi tonight! The first time since I got pregnant ten months ago. Whoo hoo! I’m also enjoying lots of newborn snuggles. So sweet.
Caitlin says
You have now made me obsessed with popkey. That’s all 😛
Brittany Dixon says
I’m not sure whether to say I’m sorry or you’re welcome 😉
Lee says
What’s bone broth? I mean, I get that it’s made from simmering bones, but why do that instead of regular broth? Just curious.
Brittany Dixon says
Bone brother uses vinegar and a longer cook time to draw the gelatin out of the bone. That’s the stuff that’s really great for immunity/digestion/etc. I wrote a little more detail about it on this post- http://www.ahealthysliceoflife.com/bone-broth-a-how-to-for-health/
Marnie @ SuperSmartMama says
Thanks for sharing your friend’s post about how to style bookshelves! I have a newly renovated home office that looks woefully lame despite the new built in bookshelves. Maybe I can get a tip or two.
I’m enjoying my last eight weeks of “freedom” before baby #2 makes her appearance.
Alexis says
I’m glad you enjoyed my bookshelves post! Thanks! I’ll tackle home offices soon so hopefully I can keep you inspired 🙂

I’ve also been loving Netflix lately (Gilmore Girls) and can’t wait to watch way too many episodes of Friends. Such a fan! I just saw the Pacific bone broth in the store the other day and almost got some, but wasn’t sure of it’s uses. Now that I know it’s really healthy for you, I’m going to pick some up and give it a try.
Madeline @ FoodFitandFam says
Kaitlyn suddenly looks SO big!! GAH!
Laura @FitMamaLove says
So cool about Friends being on Netflix!
Also cool that bone broth is available for pre made purchase! Do you know what the difference is between that and stock?
Happy Friday!
Carrie (This Fit Chick) says
I’m totally checking out the popkey app! I always send gifs!
Jen says
You know what I’m loving on Netflix? Gilmore Girls! I used to watch it on and off, but it’s fun to watch the whole thing, plus it allegedly takes place in Connecticut, my home state, so I find that amusing. I also love the fall colors and hot drinks!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I think you may have just convinced me to get NetFlix! 😉 Once they are on NetFlix how long do they usually stay there?
Sarah says
That’s a cute outfit! And it looks so cozy. I’m loving this fall weather and curling up with a cup of warm tea.
Alex says
I love making homemade bone broth in the crockpot this time of year! I feel like it is the quintessential thing to do on a fall weekend. It’s nice to use it as a soup base!
christina says
that picture of you is so cute! you look great. love the sweater. 🙂
Parita @ myinnershakti says
I was just telling Vishnu how Friends is the only show that cracks me up to the point where I can’t stop laughing…STILL!
Matt says
I totally need to watch friends from the beginning!
GiGi Eats says
I DEFINITELY need to invest in BONE BROTH! I have heard so many great things when it comes to your digestion!!! And my digestion, yeahhhhh LOL!
Jen@jpabstfitness says
Definitely loving baby snuggles! With my first 3, I was all about crib training and making sure all naps were in the crib, but this little one gets away with mama nap snuggles every day and I don’t intend on stopping that anytime soon.
Jen says
love friends. Cannot wait for January 1st!!
