5 Friday Favorites: September 19, 2025
It's time for my Friday link up with A Little Bit of Everything and Momfessionals.
On Fridays I share things that made me happy from the week - a photo, a song, a quote, a beauty product, a recipe, a pair of cute shoes, etc. If it's a product, sometimes it's something I actually own and sometimes something I just saw online that gave me a smile. Sometimes it's serious and sometimes it's silly. I suppose I believe that God is in the simple details of life and yes, I can even find Him in a tube of lipstick.
Hello. It’s been a crazy-busy week for me with some traveling and a big step in my journey to write a book. A real book. Like one one that will have a cover and pages and printed words and be available to purchase with dollars and cents. Needless to say:
I will spare you those for right now. For today, let’s just keep it chill. Here are some favorites. Many are courtesy of some of my best girlfriends who shared some of the things they love with me last weekend.
1. Tankaneo Sweater Short Set
I’ve seen this short set no less than 234 times online. I ordered it, but didn’t like the color I got, so I sent it back. Then lo and behold when I showed up to my friend, Lori’s house last weekend she was wearing it in this great Army Green color which I love. She says it’s very comfy and it was so cute. There are lots of different colors available.
2. Chicken Piccata Meatballs
While wearing the above short set, Lori made me this Chicken Piccata meatball dinner. She served it over angel hair pasta. It was amazing. I very much encourage you to have a friend who recommends a cute outfit and cooks you a meal while you sit on your butt, drink a cocktail and promptly accept all her refusals to allow you to help.
3. Supergoop Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion
Another recommendation from one of my best girls: this facial sunscreen is light and easy to wear under makeup with an SPF of 30.
4. Game Day Dress
This is another rec from my friend, Cara, who I mentioned last week has an eye for great dresses. This Game Day dress had just come up on my Instagram feed minutes before Cara texted it to me, so clearly we have the same algorithm. I have no idea if this is a reliable website or not, but goodness, is this cute. It has shorts under it! What kind of magic is that? It has good reviews and comes in every team color you can think of including burnt orange which is obviously the best one.
5. Taming the Green Eyed Monster: A Devotional on the 10th Commandment
I was so honored that Rachael K. Adams - writer, speaker and host of The Love Offering podcast - featured a devotional I wrote on her blog last week. You can read it here.

A Girl’s Weekend Away: Otherwise Known as a Menopause Symposium with People You Ate Square Pizza with on Fridays in 1982 in the Cafeteria
Last but not least my very favorite thing from the week is a group of girls who I’ve loved and who have loved me for over 40 years. These women and I used to french braid each other’s hair, lend each other Final Net hairspray and pass notes in the hallway in between Science and Home Ec class. Now we’re talking about protein, supplements, hormones, age-defying skincare and a whole lot of things which cannot be mentioned in mixed company. God has blessed me so. Get back in touch with your girlfriends if it’s been awhile. Trust me. You need them.
Have a good weekend, Friends.
