Five on Friday - December 5, 2025

Happy Friday, friends! I’m so glad you stopped by today. Another week has flown by, and I’m excited to share a fresh roundup of five things that caught my eye, made life easier, or simply brought a little joy. Let’s jump right in!

1.  Jay Kelly
I am a sucker for anything George Clooney.  His newest movie, Jay Kelly, is out on Netflix this week and I'm hoping  to carve out some time this weekend to watch it.  Here's the summary ~
Jay Kelly is a 2025 comedy-drama film directed by Noah Baumbach and written by Baumbach and Emily Mortimer. The film stars an ensemble cast that includes George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, and Billy Crudup. It follows a friendship between a famous actor (Clooney) and his manager (Sandler) as they travel through Europe and reflect on their life choices, relationships, and legacies.


2.  Jesus Listens for Advent & Christmas

Are you on the hunt for the perfect gift for the tween in your life? Check out this light-up football! Who doesn’t love something that glows in the dark—kids and even a few adults included. This fun pick is sure to provide hours of entertainment and might even lure your kiddos away from their screens long enough to get some fresh air and exercise. It’s a great holiday gift idea, and it’s also one of those handy items to keep tucked away for a last-minute birthday surprise.

Take a look at these adorably named holiday teas from Stash! This festive variety pack includes six different boxes, each filled with 18 bags — that’s a grand total of 108 cozy cups of tea. With both caffeinated and caffeine-free blends, there’s truly something for everyone.  They make a wonderful gift bundle as-is, or you can break them apart and tuck individual boxes into stockings, gift baskets, or teacher gifts. Of course, you could also keep the whole set for yourself and sip your way through the holiday season, one delicious cup at a time!

5.  Staying Fit...


Have a wonderful weekend! We just got back from a trip to Oklahoma, where we soaked up all things Pioneer Woman and even visited my cousin — someone I hadn’t seen in nearly 50 years! It was such a special trip, but now I’m definitely feeling a little behind on all the Christmas prep.

This weekend will be all about catching up, decorating the house for the holidays, enjoying dinner with friends, and taking in a PBR event. Busy, but in the best way! See you next week!
