Things I’m Loving Friday XXIII

March 7, 2014 by Julie 69 Comments

Today is a very special Friday because it’s the day before my sister and Ross’ wedding! Their rehearsal kicks off at 2 p.m. but we have a lot of little odds and ends to tie up this morning. It’s excited chaos around here!

After this post goes up, I’m planning to unplug and fully immerse myself in the wedding weekend. Relatives began arriving two days ago and I’m really looking forward to lots of quality time with family and friends.

And congratulations again to Leslie and Ross!!!

Now here is your usual Things I’m Loving Friday feature…

Things I’m Loving Friday

  • Leslie and Ross

I’m pretty sure 99 percent of you predicted this would make my list this morning, huh? Well, it’s true! The thing I’m loving most this week is everything surrounding my sister and Ross and their special day. They are one heck of a fabulous couple and I hope this weekend is absolutely perfect for them.

  • Card Case

Card Case

Whenever I travel, I never bring my wallet with me. I always use a card case! I bought my card case back in college (it’s very similar to this one) and have loved its small size and wonderful portability ever since. It fits in any purse (even the tiniest clutches) and holds several credit cards and my ID without a problem. Since I know I’ll be using a variety of purses this weekend, I packed my card case in place of my wallet so I don’t have to worry about emptying my wallet into a smaller purse when I need to at some point. It’s a small thing that helps me streamline travel a bit! (I prefer metal card holders that make it easy to quickly pop open the case to grab a credit card. I think this $10 case is super cute and classy!)

  • Your Instagram and Twitter Tags

I think dogs are the best animals on the planet and found this article quite interesting, especially the fact about their “vocabulary.”

  • Phyllis’ Homemade Granola

My parents’ place is overflowing with this granola right now since it is going to be used as part of Leslie and Ross’ wedding favors. I haven’t been able to stop snacking on the leftover granola. It’s so darn good!

      Congratulations Leslie and Ross! Hope it’s a wonderful wedding weekend!

      I love the idea of the card case. I have a soft case I used to carry my grad school ID and license in when I was on campus, but never thought about the benefits of a hard case. I’ll have to check that out!

      Your latest treadmill workout!! Oh my God!!! The thing is that I didn’t remembered that from 6.0 mph the next one was 6.5 mph, and instead I went to 7.0 then 7.5. Sweaty mess at the end! But enjoyed it completely!

      You mentioned one time that you love going to weddings even more now that you are married because they remind you of how happy you were on your wedding day.. and I couldn’t agree me! I am SO excited for wedding season to start! We have 5 this year, but the first one isn’t until June.
