5 Things I Love Friday

TGIF! Happy Hallo-Weekend to you (and you and you)! This week has been a whirlwind, but thinking about the pink pancakes I enjoyed last weekend carried me. Let’s hop right in to what I’m loving this week, shall we?

5 Things I Love Friday

Is anyone planning on making spooky cinnamon rolls this weekend?

I have to be honest, my mind is already at Thanksgiving and I have pie on the brain. I think Halloween is so fun, it’s just not my favorite, and I’m skipping a big celebration this year in favor of reading a book quietly at home. That said, I love seeing costumes, so if you’re doing something really cute with friends or family, please post the photos. I love a theme!

Sarah Blakely, the founder of SPANX, announced this week that she was giving her employees each a first class ticket to anywhere in the world, along with $10,000, to celebrate the company’s new $1.2 billion valuation. Watching the video announcement gave me goosebumps and it’s safe to say I’m now an even bigger fan of my leather leggings.

We are downsizing our holiday gifting this year in an effort to save, but still doing stockings for one another since stockings are the stars of our Christmas show. What special stocking items do you have your eye on? All help appreciated!

I need a new winter coat and I have this one in my cart. Thoughts?
