Friday Favorites

Goooood morning and TGIF!!

This is an extra, extra TGIF because it is a long weekend and my troop is off on VACATION all next week.

I seriously can hear the angels singing. HALLELUJAH!! 

I thought I would link up today to share some Friday favorites of what we've been enjoying around here this week. 

Meatloaf Balls

We have been LOVING this recipe for Meatloaf Balls.  It's honestly hard not to make them every week.  Justin is hooked, and usually I can even get Teddy to eat them too. 

If you're like me and don't feel like taking the time to make mashed potatoes, I'm a big fan of the Oprah (O That's Good) Potatoes that have some mashed cauliflower mixed in!

Dirt Road Playlist

We are gearing up for our first bit ROAD TRIP with Teddy next week. We will be driving down to Gatlinburg, TN to stay in a cabin for a few nights and then head to outside Atlanta for a family wedding.   I have been obsessing over this country playlist on Spotify that I think will be getting a lot of rotation on our trip (along with Baby Shark, of course!).

And while we are on the subject, Sam Hunt is playing at Wrigley Field this weekend with Luke Bryan.  If ever there was a concert that I am supposed to be at, this would be it. Since I'm already heading to Ravinia tonight with my mom and the first Notre Dame game is on Saturday night (someone has to make the dip & chili!!), it's just not going to happen. Between that, and missing the PopCast Live in Chicago next weekend with BooMama and BigMama in town, I don't even know who I am right now. 

Major FOMO.

Everything Fall

Speaking of FOOTBALL!! You guys...I cannot even tell you how pumped I am for fall. It has been hellaciously hot here lately, and this preggo lady is SO over it! Fall is always my favorite season, but it is extra welcome to show up this year.  I was literally giddy yesterday morning when I woke up and it was 59 degrees.

For the Notre Dame/Michigan Game this weekend, I'm going all in and making Chili and a new dip  that goes like this:

1lb sausage (browned)
1 jar of Pace Picante Sauce
Sour Cream (not sure how much...)
Melted Cream Cheese (again...will eyeball)
*mix all together and serve with chips or crackers*

Yes, MAAM!!!!!!

20 Week Ultrasound

We had our 20 week ultrasound this week for Baby Girl Miller who is due in January! I am so thankful to say that everything went great and this is finally seeming real that we are actually having another baby and a GIRL!

Little miss is very active and was flipping around all over the place.  I am absolutely loving feeling all her little kicks.

It's going to be so different this time around having a winter baby.  Teddy was born at the end of June, so I can't help but feel like January will be the polar opposite...literally.

I plan to put her in all sorts of snuggly getups like this one...

I just cannot handle the cuteness.

Alrighty, that's all I have for today.  Have a fantastic LONG weekend, and hopefully I can share some vacation pictures once I'm back.

XOXO
