Friday Favorites

3 hour work day!!! Who's excited???

Happy Friday friends and as always I am linking up with Erika, Narci, & Andrea to share my Friday Favorites :).

First up I want to talk a bit about Stella & Dot.

I am a stylist with them and I've known that they have cuffs/bracelets that they sell where all net proceeds are donated to Every Mother Counts.

It's a non-profit organization dedicated to making pregnancy & childbirth safe for all mothers.

This is the new cuff that came out with the fall collection. I ordered it instantly because of what it stood for. It helps that it's cute & simple too.

To order yours and help every mother click the link provided: Illuminate Cuff

And if ordering online isn't your thing my email is blakewalke93@gmail.com and I will order for you :).

Tuesday was 7-26-16 and I opened up my Bible to this. On 7-26-15 I was hurting. Bad. Sometimes I forget that I hurt that bad but God knew better. He always does :).

I am so thankful for the ways he has blessed me since. He does amazing things.

I have to talk about the new drape ear jackets. They now come in silver!!!

And are so bright!

And yesterday I tried out the Brio tassel and it was super easy to throw on!

I ordered the skinny jean version of those black jeans that I raved about last week.

They came in the mail and I threw them on and wore them around the house. I ate supper in them, dropped my supper on them, and then had to wash them.

I'm wearing them today and I cannot wait! Jeans are really hard for me and these have a waistband that "holds you in" and that makes me really happy!

Just because :)

Leopard & florals??? Sign me up!

P.S. You can find my top here.

Side note: These next few pictures crack me up. My Instagram husband took these and I am glad he's a good sport :).

White with a pop of colored shorts?? Yes :).

I'm still working on the whole posing thing.

This is the same spot where some of my senior pictures were taken!

My left leg looks super long/weird. Am I the only one lol??

Planning our women's day/retreat is one of my favorites. Especially with sweet women like Sissy :).

I am so excited about where God is taking our church/women's ministry.

I hope you all have a blessed & cool weekend!

Weekend Wrap-Up

I never got around to talking about last weekend or camp so I'll do a little recap here.

Pizza & friends on a Friday night is always the way to go :).

A girl and her dog!

Saturday morning I loaded up & was off to camp. I was a counselor for a kids mini camp (grades K-2nd grade) and we had training Saturday.

I was unloading my bag and found this from my sweet hubby :).

I was a tad early so a little walk around the camp was in store.

It truly is a beautiful place and so peaceful.

I stayed over Saturday night, went for a run Sunday morning (hello sun), headed back to church Sunday morning. and then back to camp for the campers to arrive.

Noah came over and helped with registration Sunday afternoon and the campers started coming!

They stay Sunday & Monday and then their parents pick them up Tuesday evening. The weather did not cooperate Monday but we made the best of it! The kids had such a good time and I think they will all be back next year!

Tuesday night I got home and my first Nordstrom Anniversary sale order was waiting on me!

Black pants are the dress code for work so when I saw these black jeans on sale I knew they would be in my cart and I am glad there were. They are so comfy and fit like a glove!

I also needed a couple new tops for work and this Pleione top fit the bill :).

A simple quote that makes me smile :).

My bestie is home for a couple weeks and we jumped at the opportunity for lunch & a nail day!

Friday evening one of Noah's best friends (and our neighbor) had their rehearsal because they were getting married Saturday!

:).

And it just so happens that two of my best friends are the groom's nieces :).

After the dinner we decided to swing by the reception to check it out and it was beautiful!

The groom/neighbor, the bestie, & I.

We had a few drinks before we called it a night :).

Saturday morning we were up bright & early (some of Noah's tux did not fit) to head to Jasper to get it corrected lol.

I'm pretty biased but I think he's cute.

I didn't take any pictures of the ceremony and I just now realized I don't have any of the bride & groom. But everything was so perfect and I love seeing them so happy!
