Friday favorites: another fabulous week

Where to begin with a week full of so much fabulousness? (Yes, that is a word.)

Let’s start with spending the weekend with this bunch, including a pizza/popcorn/pumpkin pie/movie night.

I’ve been trying these new SmartMade meals by Smart Ones. They promote themselves as made with real ingredients you can pronounce–and it’s true. Bonus: they are delicious!

And finally, as promised, here are photos of some of the items I ordered from MM.LaFleur. (Please disregard the restroom stalls in the background. Larry kindly took photos in our house, but the harsh lighting was…well…harsh. I took these selfies in the bathroom at work. I know, kinda creepy. But don’t worry, no one else was in there at the time.)
