What a week it has been. I usually like to keep this space light and uplifting, often choosing to focus on the good rather than the bad. But the tragedies our country has faced this week feel especially heavy. My hope is that, together, we can move forward with compassion, decency, and unity.
Here's my Five on Friday for this week ~
1. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale
I’m so excited that the new Downton Abbey movie is finally here this weekend! Ever since the very first episode aired back in 2011, I’ve been captivated by the characters and their storylines. Now we get the chance to enjoy them one last time on the big screen. Here’s a look at the movie summary ~
DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE, the cinematic return of the global phenomenon, follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. When Mary finds herself at the center of a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the entire household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys must embrace change as the staff prepares for a new chapter with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future.
2. Honey Roasted Peanut M&M's
M&M’s has done it again—and I am here for it! Their latest flavor is a sweet-and-salty twist that’s sure to be a hit—Honey Roasted Peanut. Just when you thought the classic peanut M&M’s couldn’t get any better, they’ve added that irresistible honey-roasted crunch we all know and love. I can already tell this one is going to be a favorite for movie nights, road trips, and anytime those chocolate cravings strike.
The fifth book in the popular Dream Harbor romance series just released this week! You might recognize it as the Pumpkin Spice Café series. I absolutely adored the first three books, while the fourth one was just okay for me—but now I can’t wait to dive into book five! (Fair warning: these stories definitely have their spicy moments!) Here’s the summary ~
As owner of her beloved Gingerbread Bakery, Annie Andrews should have a love life to match her business; sugary and sweet. But instead, she’s locked in a game of words with the irritatingly upbeat bar owner down the street.
Mac Sullivan has everything he wants, except the girl he dreams of. It’s easier to argue with Annie than get her to talk to him but with Jeanie and Logan’s wedding coming up, they're about to spend a lot more time together.
As the snowflakes fall and with romance in the air, will Annie see that the one she loves to hate might just be her perfect match after all?
With holiday cooking and baking just around the corner, I’m seriously thinking about adding a few silicone mixing bowl liners to my kitchen must-haves. Whenever I’m in the middle of a big baking session, it feels like I’m constantly stopping to wash out the mixing bowl. These handy liners would let me keep right on mixing without the extra cleanup in between.
We are just back from a fantastic trip to Disney! There will definitely be some resting up this weekend to recover. We also have a dinner party on Saturday, church on Sunday and the Chiefs game. Hmmm...I'm not sure how much "resting up" there will be time for! See you next week.
