Week in Rewind Volume 70
Happy Sunday, friends!
And a very happy February too. It’s time to dive into the latest week in rewind! I’m recapping all my latest posts, plus sharing ideas from some friends, including inspiration for spring and mouthwatering recipes and hosting tips for the upcoming Super Bowl!
So grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea, and let’s catch up on everything that’s been happening here at home and on the blog.
Tidbits from Home
This week, I’ve been adapting to my new schedule and settling into my full-time blogging gig.
I miss my colleagues, but I’ve got a pretty adorable assistant keeping me company daily. And I was invited to join a weekly Zoom meeting with a group of blogging friends.
It’s wonderful to have such a supportive group of friends who understand all the ins and outs of this “non-traditional” career.
This week was a busy one over on Instagram as I collaborated on multiple posts with one of my favorite local grocery chains—Fareway!
If you’re not already following along, I’d love to have you join me there to say up-to-date on exclusive content like these delicious game day recipes.
I hope to share these on the blog soon, but in the meantime, you can find both recipes saved in my story highlights on Instagram.
My Favorite Finds
Did you know that whenever you click on a shoppable link in my posts and make a purchase, I earn a small commission – even if it’s not the specific item I’ve linked?
Your support means the world to me, and I’m genuinely thankful when you shop through my links. It allows me to keep sharing free content with all of you here on the blog.
Here are a few of my favorite finds from around the web this week.
I bought a few of these to make Valentine’s Day baskets for the girls. I can’t wait to share with you what I put together!
This is on my wishlist for my new office space.
I also snagged one of these for Peyton now that she’s driving…and I may get one for myself too!
These are on my spring decor wishlist. And they come in several colors and patterns.
Need a new vacuum? We love this brand and there are currently several on sale!
