It’s Friday!
Oh my goodness…I am so tired.
Why is it that the first week of school is so exhausting? I swear by 7:00 PM every night, all five of us are ready for bed. Whew! I am happy to see you weekend.
Okay, one thing before we begin…
Friends who told me to watch The Good Wife…this one is for you. On Tuesday night, Andrew was gone and I got into bed at 8:05 to watch just a little bit of TV before going to bed (I had BIG plans on going to bed early). Well, I turned on the episode of The Good Wife that I happened to be on when BAM! Something HUGE happened and I was in my bed screaming noooooooooooooooooo! And because it was so shocking, I had to stay up and keep watching episodes until 11:30. #theregoesmyextrasleep You guys know what I’m talking about. I’m not going to say (or post comments that share spoilers) but between me and you…we all know what I’m talking about and I’m still in shock. That’s all I wanted to say about that ;).
Okay…here we go. Like every week, I link up with my friends Andrea, Narci and Erika and share my Friday Faves.
Whoa! Have you seen all of the Eats love across Instagram? I mean…I have been so grateful and overwhelmed with my friends who have been sharing their advanced copies of my newest cookbook with their Insta-friends. Eats hits bookshelves October 1 but can be pre-ordered in advance right now. This cookbook has 12 chapters (one for each month of the year) and I share recipes and ideas for what to cook during that particular month. You can cook your way through it all year long. New recipes, new pictures, new book…it’s all in Eats!
Okay, a favorite this week were Kensington’s booties. She has worn them 4 out of 5 days because she 1. feels like a big girl and 2. says they’re so comfortable. Her birthday is coming up and she asked for a second pair because she loves them so much…so I bought her leopard for her birthday. Remember how last week, I bought myself new leopard booties…
…well, like mother like daughter ;).
Speaking of last week…look what is back in stock…
Woohoo! This dress sold out last week super early and has been sold out all week long, but as of right now, it’s back in stock! For those that asked, I think it runs true to size. I bought a small just as a size reference. I’ve already worn it twice. Love!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeks!
Michael Buble’s new single dropped this week and I love it! You can listen to it HERE. You better believe I’ll be buying the entire new album on October 21 :).
I love him.
Like…in a big way.
Okay friends! The winner of my $500 Nordstrom Gift Card Giveaway will be announced on Monday…so if you’re in education or knows someone who is, you better click HERE and enter to win ASAP!
And if your weekend needs something a little sweet…look no further than my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheesecake. Click HERE for the easy little recipe.
Happy Friday friends! I hope you have the best weekend!
See you Monday!
Kimm says
That first week back to school always has me exhausted ! One of my favorites this week was my special delivery of Eats! Have a great weekend !
Erika Slaughter says
We’re exhausted over here as well!! I’m looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow! #noonewakethebear haha!
Narci says
Girl, our family is beat down tired also! And, Kensington’s cute booties are adorable! I love that she wants another pair in leopard. That is definitely out girl!! Xo
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
I have loved reading through and marking recipes to try in Eats! You put this cookbook together so beautifully! And I love K’s booties on her–can’t wait to see her wearing the leopard ones!

Holly says
Love those booties!!! I need a pair. I also love kensingtons boots for my daughter. So sweet! Cant wait to see you two twinning in matching leopard ones.
Nikki says
I was SO disappointed when the dress was out of stock, so knew I would kick myself if I missed out a second time. It’s already on its way to me and should be at my door on Monday! Hoping I can wear it to a Clemson game in September!
emily @ a little bit of emily says
K looks so grown up in her booties – I bet she will just love the leopard! Happy weekend!
Sheaffer says
I know I’ve already mentioned this, BUT YOU’RE HAIR IN THAT DRESS PRESS IS HAIR PERFECTION! So cute that K likes her booties so much!
Rebecca says
Happy Friday!! 🙂 Heading over to buy a pre-order copy of your book! It looks awesome!! 🙂 And Kensington’s booties are simply adorable! Hope y’all have a wonderful and restful weekend!
Valerie says
I’m still in shock over that episode, and it’s been years. I remember sitting on the couch with my mother, and neither of us could say anything after that scene. Such a good show though!
Jan Fisher says
OH my gosh….that episode of Good Wife! If it’s the one I think it is…..Had me in tears…… What a shocker! Glad you are enjoying it. I am so sad the series is done. What will I do on Sunday nights now?
Lisa says
I’m about halfway through season 4 of Good Wife but I do know what you’re talking about….and I’m so dreading it????????????!!
Nicole says
Hey!! I actually got the dress last Friday when you posted it and always wear the same size as you – the first post you said small, so I got that and it fits great! This post you said, XS. But either way, for size reference a small worked great for me! 😉
Mix and Match Mama says
You’re totally right! Just corrected that!! Thank you Nicole!
kathy Olson says
If I were just walking through a bookstore, the cover of your cookbook would make me stop and look through it. That is a beautiful cover and I’m so happy for you!
Mickenzie says
I can’t get over the little girl booties! Would you say they run true to size? I have to order my daughter a pair, she is all about feeling like a big girl ;). Thanks!
kathy Olson says
If I were walking through a bookstore, just seeing your cover photo would make me stop and look through it. That is a beautiful cover, and I’m so happy for you!
Regine Karpel says
Have a good one.

Amy says
Bublé’s new single turned me into a puddle on the floor so I don’t know how I’ll be able to handle his new album! SO EXCITED.
Kelly says
I know the episode you’re talking about. TEARS! and SHOCKING! But SOOOO good! I’ll miss that show this season!
Whitney Pegram says
I am LOVING the cookbook! Getting it in the mail Tuesday made my day. And your leopard booties!! ???? Have a great weekend, girl!
Rebecca Jo says
That cheesecake… YAAAAAASSSSSS!!!
I’ve been bragging to everyone about that cookbook. It’s AMAZING!!!
Julie says
I totally understand your devastation at THAT Good Wife episode! I watched live and was just horrified. I think it took me months to get over. I’m currently (one of the last on earth) to be watching Downton Abbey (which I know you loved too) and I was also horrified when THAT episode took place. Sigh. The Good Wife is such a good show-hope you enjoy the rest! Oh, and if you haven’t yet watched, you’d LOVE Friday Night Lights!!
Lauren Denny says
Good wife was never the same after that event!!
cassie {hi sugarplum} says
That dress is so darling on you!!! Have a great weekend, friend…I hope there’s some sleeping-in going on over there! 🙂
heidi says
I feel that way about ‘ how to get away with murder’ .. I’m loving the series wayyyy to much sex I have to fast forward through it lol.. but eekk so good!
Thank you again for my book I love it Infact today I’m making your pulled pork & blueberry banana bread! !!!!
Kensington booties are so darn cute!
Maria D. says
Kensington looks so cute in her back to school picture – and I love that she loves the booties just like you:)
I’m not a big fan of the new Michael Buble song but I’ve liked everything else he’s done so maybe a 2nd or 3rd listen will help….lol….thanks for the cheesecake recipe – looks tasty!
Molly says
FYI gonna be real here. It isn’t helpful when you post your size as XS because we don’t have you in front of us as a reference point, so you’re “for reference” is pointless. People who don’t know you think you’re bragging and being obnoxious. I know you won’t post this but thought I’d tell you privately anyway. Trying to give a heads up to a lady who seems pretty cool. Looking forward to trying your new book.
Andrea says
Thanks for inspiring me to do a Friday favorites!!! Love your blog and can’t wait to get your cook book!!!

Leigh says
I just bought the leopard Tom’s booties for my daughter from Nordstrom Rack – for $37!!! I was pumped. She is going to be SO EXCITED!!!
Carley says
I also am totally in love with Michael Buble and have downloaded his new single and cannot wait for his new album!! Have you heard about his One Night Only Concert Show coming September 27th?? In only select theaters for one night only, they’re showing a Michael Buble movie following his tour! Check theaters near you to see where it’s playing! You need to go!
Kayla Bruce says
AHHHH! New Michael song!! I’ve been waiting. SO great!
Jenny says
Yay for a new Buble song! Thanks for the heads up! Have a great weekend!
JCH says
Just in case you don’t already know, Spotify is a music app/website where you can listen to any/all albums and songs for free – and legally, as it’s an artist-opted in online radio. So you can type into the name of Michael Buble’s album when it comes out and listen/play it, and save that album $ for more leopard booties. Artist gets residuals, you pick your tunes. I probably haven’t “bought an album” in over 3 years 🙂
vanda brejcha says
I was wondering what color is your Kendra Scott Cuff Bracelet from last weeks post, if it’s the Pyrite/Rose Gold, or the Brown Mother of Pear/Gold? I’ve loved that bracelet ever since you showed it last winter also worn by your mom & grandmother! Thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
I believe it’s the brown and gold!
Lindsay @ Lindsay's Sweet World says
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! So much to love in this post!! I did NOT know that Michael Buble had a new album coming out, but I am all over it! Like, I immediately stopped reading your post, went to Amazon, downloaded the new single, and then came back here to comment! And I marked 10/21 on my calendar. You know how much I love my old standards!! And I saw that The Very Thought of You is going to be on the album!! GAAAAHHHH that is one of my favorites ever!
And also, I’m totally fan-girling that my picture of your cookbook is here on your blog! I just love you, girl! Thank you so much again for the book!
rebecca says
I think i may still have PTSD from that epi of Good Wife! ok, i gotta ask, the black and white stripe towel (??) that went to your girls with your cook book, where oh where can i find?? 🙂
brett says
I know EXACTLY what you are talking about with the good wife! I finished the series but after that happened, I’ll be honest, I kind of lost my strong interest and love for the series.
Megan Butler says
Okay YES!!! Soooooo shocking. I just want to prepare you that I loved the show up until that point and then it sort of went down hill for me…sorry! I watched it so fast until then but I still haven’t finished it yet. I need to start watching again. And I am LOVING eats! Seriously! You are talented friend! Happy weekend.
Jordan Meline says
Um, first, Kensington has better shoes than I do…I have been wanting these Toms booties for a while now. Time to order some!
Second, CAN’T WAIT for the cookbook! I’m thinking it is going to make a great Christmas present for my mom and sisters 🙂
Kelly says
I have already pre-ordered the cookbook. I love that you organized it seasonally. Love ! And my husband and I just finished season 1 of the good wife and now you have me very afraid to watch the next one.
Nicole says
I love when you give size references so please keep doing so 😉 it helps me know what size to order! Love you Shay!!
Kristy says
What season was the big event in? I’m only in season one and really enjoying it so far! Lots of characters from Scandal in this show!
Megan says
I had no idea he had anew album coming so soon. You just made my day! Now I will be on the hunt for when he announces his next tour schedule.
Kati Matthews says
Alright friend, I just bought all the ingredients for 2 of the August Dinners and 1 of the August Breakfasts (I started to name them, but didn’t want to give away any of the yummy meals you’ve chosen to share in this AMAZING cookbook before the release!). The Matthews are eating good this week!!
Jaren says
I was so excited to get that cookbook!! Oh happy mail day to me!!!! Thanks girl!
Lisa says
I was going to enter an amazing educator for the $500 nordstrom giveway but when I click on your link, it doesn’t take me to a page to enter into the drawing. Did you take the link down? Was there a deadline on Sunday night? It is 10:45pm. Thanks!
Angela Ellingson says
I love our mutual love of Michael! I just bought tickets to his September 27th movie Tour Stop 148. I wish they were tickets to a live show, but I’m still excited!
Kaci says
I love your little girls with their big bows! It just makes my heart happy.
Detroit Duchess says
LOVE The Good Wife! I feel like there are few shows on TV lately that can keep you glued to the TV like that and shock you as much! I am looking forward to the spinoff coming soon.
