Friday Favorites!

Hi y'all! Merry Christmas to you and yours! 

We are having a wonderful time in our home, just being by each other's side. I love these long periods of time when my man gets to be off work! Hooray!

Friday Favorites

ONE

Today, I am absolutely loving our Christmas Eve dinner (we're still munchin' on the leftovers!). We had a Switch It Up version of Mama's Enchiladas. I promise. You've never had 'yummier' enchiladas! 

Just take the original recipe and add green onions and corn to it! Such simple and cheap additions, but they jazz it up just right! 

I even add extra corn on top, and then throw some enchilada sauce on it and cheese and crisp it up in the oven for 20 minutes at 375 degrees. 

My man and I agree, the corn is the best! 

TWO

Our Christmas jammies! This is a tradition in the Fashionista Housewife home. 

On Christmas Eve, we all open new jammies, throw them on, drink some hot chocolate. 

AND watch the Polar Express. Which is my all time favorite Christmas movie :)

Read about how we make Polar Express Night special!

I got the Aria Fleece jammies from Costco!

Mine are black and cheetah print!

I am so excited that Cole is being a little sponge! We have been working on his training pretty intensively, have I told you how determined we are to have the most well behaved doggy? 

So far, he has learned Sit, Down, Up, Roll Over, and Look At Me. 

Pretty good for being only 8 weeks old, and 3.8 pounds. 

Maybe his weight has nothing to do with it, but in my mind, he seems way too tiny to learn anything. 

(Even though I know that's not true, because he quickly learned how to get out of his crate. Anyone have any advice on how to crate train without them screaming/crying so loud?!!)

This hike has been our favorite! It's a bit of a drive from our home, but I feel it's so worth it. 

The path is about a mile long, but look at the end result! 

Not even kidding. This is exactly how it looks in the winter time! Swoon!

FIVE

I have been loving walking into our home after a long hike, or walk with Cole and smelling it! Sound weird? You wouldn't think so if you read my post on How To Make Your Home Smell Amazing!

There's just somethin' about that feeling!

Need some YUMMY food this week?? Check out my Mozzarella Meatballs. You will NOT regret it!

They're cheesy, and so classic, but honestly, I was surprised at how amazing they came out! Not dry at all, but had a little crunch to them from the outside. The taste was superb!

Easy-peasy for these babies!



SEVEN

My most favorite favorite of all time?!! 

JESUS!!!

Thank you LORD for being born, living a life without sin, and dying on the cross, just so that we could be saved! How selfless is that?!! You cannot have a more selfless act than that. 

Especially on this Christmas, when my mama's in Heaven, you realize the importance of living for Jesus, and loving God with every fiber of your being. 

Plus, once you've lived a life for Jesus, you wonder what you ever did before being saved. Please let me know if you have any questions on being saved or need to be pointed in the right direction to living a life with PURPOSE! I will be more than happy to help you.

Thank you, Jesus, for being the REASON for the season :)

Y'all... what was your favorite part of Christmas, this week, or this season? I would love to hear from you!
