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!

Then there was dinner at Village Inn with our newly-turned 11-year-old Tessa Bean. Where does the time go?

And more proud Grandma moments…two of our grandchildren participated in the school science fair. Wren placed in the junior division.

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.)
