Favorite Things Part 4
It's been a while since I've made a Favorite Things post, so I feel like it's time for one today!
1. Winter Coats
Now that Autumn is officially here and Winter isn't TOO far away, I'm super excited about breaking out all of the cold weather ware! Here in NC, our mornings are varied from mid 40's to mid 60's, with the warmest part of the day reaching upper 50's to upper 70's. This time of year is sooo tricky! I haven't pulled out and dusted off my winter coats, yet, but I definitely feel the need to share the love I have for coats!
2. Scarves
What goes best with a winter coat during those cool/cold Autumn/Winter days? A scarf! I'm not talking about this flimsy fashion scarves that people wear. I'm talking scarves made for warmth...AND fashion! I love having my three winter coats (one gray that hits mid-thigh, one black that hits at my hip, and one blue plaid that hits at my waist) and having SEVERAL scarves that can be changed out and worn with almost all three of my coats!
3. Children's Holiday Movies
I admit it. I love love love love LOVE holiday movies...especially those made specifically for children. I'm not just talking about Christmas movies such as Frosty, Rudolph, The Night Before Christmas, etc. I'm talking about Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, Fourth of July, etc. etc. movies. I love the Hallmark Channel original movies made for adults as well as some of the other made for TV movies, but my most favorite always have and always will be the holiday movies made for kids!
These are a few of my favorite things! Do we share any favorites? Do you despise my choices? Let me know in the comments below! I'd love to hear from you!
If you could take 2 seconds and give this a click, it would mean so much to me! Thank you!!

New Job
I have an announcement! I got another part time job! My mom and two of my cousins work for Old Navy. Mommy told me they were hiring seasonal workers with possible opportunity to work part time after the holidays. I applied. I interviewed. Saturday, I was hired! Sunday, I had training! Thursday I have the second half of my training! Yay! I am so grateful to have this opportunity to make extra money! This kind of job would not be my first choice to work for the rest of my life, but for the time being, it is a God-send. I truly believe God continues to provide for us.
Pros
1. I'm making just above minimum wage.
2. I'm working between 15 and 30 hours a week.
3. I get 25% off at Old Navy and 50% off at Gap and Banana Republic.
Cons
1. I won't see Vance as much.
2. I have to work Black Friday...aka Hell on Earth.
The pros far outweigh the cons! I am so thrilled to be able to work with my mom, one of my cousins (the other one transfered to a store in Colorado) and possibly my youngest sister if she is hired. (Hannah, my 16 year old sister, is in the application process, but will hopefully be hired even though she's never had a job outside of babysitting.)
