Five on Friday - October 24, 2025

Hello!  Thanks for popping by Five on Friday!  I love sharing five fun things with you every Friday.  Let's get to it ~
 
1.  Nobody Wants This - Season 2
Season 2 is finally here! All ten new episodes are just sitting out there on Netflix, practically begging to be binged—and yes, I fully intend to answer that call this weekend. I’ll admit, when I watched Season 1, I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. But it completely won me over! The show follows a rabbi and a podcaster who meet, fall in love, and (of course) hit every possible romantic and emotional speed bump along the way. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody are absolute perfection together—you’ll fall for their characters faster than they fall for each other (and that’s saying something).  Now excuse me while I clear my schedule, grab some snacks, and dive into Season 2 like it’s my full-time job.


2.  The Widow by John Grisham
The newest John Grisham book is officially out!  The Widow hit the stands on Tuesday and it immediately went on my TBR list.  Here's the summary ~
Simon Latch is a lawyer in rural Virginia, making just enough to pay his bills while his marriage slowly falls apart. Then into his office walks Eleanor Barnett, an elderly widow in need of a new will. Apparently, her husband left her a small fortune, and no one knows about it.

Once he hooks the richest client of his career, Simon works quietly to keep her wealth under the radar. But soon her story begins to crack. When she is hospitalized after a car accident, Simon realizes that nothing is as it seems, and he finds himself on trial for a crime he swears he didn’t commit: murder.

Simon knows he’s innocent. But he also knows the circumstantial evidence is against him, and he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. To save himself, he must find the real killer….
Okay, I know it might feel a little early to be talking about Christmas… but hear me out!  The LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar is already hitting the shelves, and if you’ve had your eye on it before, you know how quickly it sells out every year.  If your kids (or let’s be honest, you!) are Harry Potter fans, this one’s a must-have. Each day leading up to Christmas reveals a new mini build—24 days of magical surprises, tiny details, and festive fun straight from the wizarding world.  So don’t wait until December to go hunting for it—grab it now before it disappears faster than a Golden Snitch! 


4.  Egg & Cheese Brioche Breakfast Cups
I added something to my Target shopping list this week - Egg & Cheese Brioche Breakfast Cups.  The description describes them as golden brioche bites filled with cage-free eggs and cheese.  You can pop them in the air fryer and breakfast will be ready in a flash.  Yum!
 
5.  Sigh...


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We’re kicking things off tonight with friends and a few games—always a good time! I’m also planning to tackle the big summer-to-winter closet swap since cooler temps have finally arrived. Then on Sunday, we’re off to a soccer game! Lots of fun ahead. See you back here next week!
