Friday Favorites: Busy Fall Week
Another Friday, another favorites post! Let’s get to it with Andrea, Erika, and Narci!
Volleyball and the Aristocats.
Friday night I had off work, which just makes me glad in the first place, but I also babysat my brothers that night as well. Rick wanted to go to the volleyball game, and I didn’t hesitate to take him one bit. I played volleyball all through middle school and high school. PEOPLE I MISS THIS SPORT. And just being there Friday really proved how much I miss it. I caught myself jumping to dig the ball a couple times in my seat in the sands. My alma mater won, and I saw many people I knew.
Later that night we had big storms roll in around 9pm. Real big…I was in the shower and the power went out kinda thing. Ryan is scared of the dark, and haunted houses, and all that haha so when I walked into my room I saw him cuddled up in my bed. He asked if he could sleep in my bed with me and we could watch the Aristocats. Childhood throwback! How can you say no to that??? I love my brother.
OU/Texas day!!!
If you follow me on Instagram @mollymiddleton01 you saw me post this picture. Saturday was the OU/Texas game and i’m so glad WE BEAT TEXAS!!! After the game I went outside on my patio to study, ’cause hello fall weather. It was 60 degrees and I was in my element. I had my scarf , fuzzy socks, hot chocolate, and my #1 up!
Study day.
After daddy/daughter golfing Sunday morning, we stopped by Starbucks and I tried an Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte with Soy. The first sip I had I was like what in the world? but then I took another sip, and another, and it was delicious!! I’m not one for hot coffee so i’m totally in love with this drink for the fall season. When we came home I sat and studied with my IPSL and a candle lit on the counter.
I took a break to do some closet organizing (oh yeah!) and then walked around my entire neighborhood with my notebook and did some more studying. It was so perfect, because I was studying and exercising and the weather was to die for.

I went to nanny on Monday in a scarf, jacket, AND leggings because it was cold. Eeeek!! For the third time in just this post…i’m so glad my kind of weather is back. The kiddos had school off Monday, so I went over earlier than usual. Collin and I played soccer in the little yard next to their house for a bit. Then, I took him to soccer practice. Little one loves his soccer!
I love getting mail.
Look what came in the mail for me on Tuesday!!!! My Stella and Dot Elephant Wishing Bracelet is the perfect new addition to my fall arm party. Click HERE to shop all the other New Arrivals including the elephant, horseshoe, and arrow wishing bracelets. See something else in there that i’ve talked about before?? Yep, the arrow bracelet was given to me by one of my girls and makes the perfect gift that the recipient will be so glad to receive.
Cram sesh.
Oh, wednesday, how you tease me. It’s just the middle of the week and you’re usually either happy the weekend is almost here or you’re like ah only halfway through the work week! But after a nice little kickball game with my nanny kiddos, I was sweaty (um, what happened fall weather?) and when I got home needed to bathe, obviously. I decided instead of showering I just wanted to soak in a bubble bath with my aromatherapy because I knew I had a long night ahead of me. And I did, I had my government final Thursday morning and I stuuudddieeeddd forever!!!!! Need. Sleep.
High school homecoming.
Can we just talk about how cute my siblings are???? I love my brother and sister even though some days we all just want to pull each other’s hair out. It’s Morgan’s senior homecoming *sniffle* i’ll miss her next year. For those of you who don’t know, Texas peeps are HUGE football fans. Homecoming is a big thing. We make mums, which is actually kind of ridiculous but also a fun tradition. Girls make garter’s for the boys and boys make mums for the girls. Rick doesn’t have one because he’s the cool freshman who doesn’t need a date. *Rolling eyes right now* but Morgan is wearing a mum that mom made her because she wants to fly solo for her senior hoco. Here’s a close-up for those of you curious as to what mums are.
And as an added bonus while i’m getting all sentimental over here. LOOK AT US! Baby freshman Morgan, and baby senior Molly after we got our mums.
Have a fun-filled, wonderful weekend y’all.
