Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had an awesome week, and have a great weekend planned! I promise I don't have any introductory rambling this week so let's just get right to it and talk about some favorites:
1. Daisy
Remember how I told you guys last week that Margot was getting a puppy? Well, this is the sweet girl! Her name is Daisy and she's adorable and the second cutest puppy I've ever seen (Layla obviously being the first hahaha) and I love her! I asked Margot to send me some of her favorite pictures for me to include in the post this week and I got 14 which had been narrowed down from the approximately 120293483 pictures on Margot's phone. Since 14 was a little more than I bargained for, I picked these 3!

I mean can we just? I have no words to describe the cuteness.
2. Skinny Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins
Amanda, Margot, Hannah, and me had a big ole baking session on Wednesday which was a lot of fun! We decided on one of the many, many recipes Margot and I have been pinning for baking sessions, and it was these muffins here from Averie Cooks. The muffins turned out great and I would highly recommend them! Especially since the macros are pretty good for a regular sized muffin-- 25g carbs, 3g protein, and 1g fat! Not too shabby! After baking, we watched a scary movie that Hannah borrowed from the library. Anyone heard of No Good Deed with Idris Elba? Well, it's more of a suspense/thriller movie but to me that's scary! I'm such a baby when it comes to scary movies but this one wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I was definitely relieved about that! However, it's not gonna ever make it on a favorites list because I'm much more about light-hearted movies.
3. Yoga
I have to admit, I'm starting to love yoga! I've honestly never been able to stick with it before. I'd try it for like a day or two, and then get bored because I had a hard time focusing on it. I think I figured out the trick this week-- videos! It really helps me a lot to have someone telling me what to do and instructing me, otherwise if I just try to follow a print-out or list of moves then I struggle. This way it keeps me on track and focused on the workout. My back has been feeling much better, and I'm off tomorrow afternoon to figure out what the heck has been going on with my foot pain! Wish me luck!
4. Girls Picture!

4. Girls Picture!
Every time I see this picture it makes me smile! Probably because it has two of some of the most important people in my life: my sister and my dog haha! Yes, I consider Layla to be part of our family! I'm not entirely sure how it started but I was laying in my bed before going to sleep reading, and of course Layla was already around. Amanda came in to see what I was up to, and somehow we all ended up dog piled (no pun intended) in my bed. I'm not usually a picture-taker but it was super cute how Layla was spooned between us so that definitely called for a picture! The cutest part was how Layla had her head resting on my shoulder and nuzzled against my cheek but then as soon as I pull out my phone to take a picture (I swear she knows what it means) she tries to look away! She does that a lot when she doesn't want her picture taken haha! I'm almost positive she does it on purpose, I promise I'm not crazy.
5. Quote of the week
"The power of love alive in us is limitless"
Again, this week's quote is from a song but I still count those as quotes. I LOVE this song called Limitless by Colton Dixon who is another one of my favorite artists! I think the message behind this song is awesome and empowering because I know I sometimes struggle with confidence, insecurities, or doubt my abilities. I need to remember that it's not about what I can do but what God can do through me! His power is what's alive in me, and is limitless. I just need to keep in mind Philippians 4:13-- "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" because as humans yes we have limits but if we give it all over to God, He can do the most miraculous things!
"Doubt sees a mountain, no way around it
Faith sees a victory, no doubt about it
Fear sees a ceiling, hope sees the stars"
I actually got chills at that part in the song when I first heard it, and I wanted to share that too because it truly struck a chord with me. So, that's been my favorite quote of the week to keep in mind, and gives me encouragement. I hope it can do the same for you!
What are some of your favorites this week?!
