Happy Friday friends!

Today I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for Friday Favorites a weekly link up that is always my fav! I love being able to look back on my week and share the things that made me smile and brought joy to my life.

I’ve said this multiple times but, these kind of posts are some of my favs because they remind me of old school blogging, when it was about community and connection and less about ads and paid posts! That blogging was definitely my favorite and my promise here is that I will always have these blog posts because community and connection are not just my favs, but the core to my business and why I do what I do.

Okay first up, our new collection at Shop Rooted and Free launched yesterday with a focus on St Patrick’s Day! I love brining in collections for holidays that mostly consist of items you can wear all year long with a touch of festive because it is just fun and life is worth celebrating especially holiday’s.

Another favorite for the shop that I love….private parties!

Why? Because it goes back to the core of connection and community in really fun ways. I love seeing women come together, share a meal and encourage each other as they try on clothes and shop. It really is such a special environment that I love so much and can’t always create at my typical pop ups.

Earlier this week I shared my favorite dairy free creamers on the blog. Coffee is one of my favorite parts of my morning so sharing these finds was a favorite too.

If you are dairy free or like to cut out dairy in your creamer, this post is for you because you know how challenging it can be to find good creamer that isn’t filled with junk or tastes horrible.

I’ve been organizing my computer, my photos in particular and these pictures above made me smile. The go in order of years from when I started doing pop ups - the first in March 2021, and 2022, and Fall 2023. It’s amazing how far this business and my pop ups have come.

It’s really special to see not only how far my business has come but how my in person sales ave evolved and my events have progressed over the years. Doing pop ups are exhausting and truthfully not always fun but, in person sales are my favorite!

Another photo find as I was organizing, this quote and affirmation card is my favorite!

Last but not least, we are booking our spring break trip this weekend and it is giving me all the excitement and my wanderlust spirit is beaming. This was a trip to LA we took last year for a wedding (it was one of my very favorite trips ever) but I am excited to explore somewhere new this spring.

We don’t typically take a spring break trip since we live in Florida where so many vacation (Spring weather is amazing) but since we couldn’t take our winter vacation due to Savannah’s surgery we are out of here for spring break!

Alright ladies, that is all we have for today - I am off to finish up work so I can close down my computer before I get the girls from school and we start our weekend.
