Friday Things #430
1. Perfect swinging weather!
2. Joseph did a basketball camp this week and had a lot of fun! He learned a lot in a short period of time and was excited to practice his dribbling each day in the driveway :)
3. Made maybe my best peach pie yet!
4. Thank you for all of the suggestions last week on prescription goggles! I ordered a pair this week; hopefully, Dominic will notice an improvement when he’s in the pool 😊
5. I got to meet my cousin’s baby for the first time last Friday and oh those little newborn snuggles are so sweet! 💓

6. I recently discovered that Walmart sells large-size bottles of Chick-fil-A sauce. That, paired with the Just Bare chicken chunks from Costco, makes a fantastic replica meal! Now I just need Chick-fil-A to sell frozen bags of their waffle fries 😉
7. Speaking of Costco, I went yesterday for the first time since last February. I was expecting to be thrilled to wander the aisles in person, BUT… it was crowded and I realized that I do not miss crowded grocery stores and eating up a big chunk of my time shopping.
8. Which Olympics sports are you most excited to watch? Swimming, diving, and gymnastics for me!
9. We powered through the rest of season 3 of Goliath and about halfway through it switched back to being excellent; the season finale may have been the best episode of the entire series! Looking forward to a season 4 at some point.
10. TGIF! Judith vs stuffed kitty staring contest…
Thanks for sharing another wonderful post. I have a plan to install a swinging set in my backyard. By the way! Love the pie, it looks so delicious!! Currently, I am busy at this ulive fun site and help people with free funny things around the world. But I will sure read more post on recipe ideas in your posts
I had a friend ask this morning if I’d ever heard of prescription swim goggles for kids, and thanks to your blog I had! Where did you end up ordering the goggles from? Did you order them online or find a local shop that does them? She’s talked to both the eye doctor and the glasses place and neither place had any ideas of where to get some.
Did you ever find a nice purse/bag? I meant to suggest R.Riveter as they are all made by military spouses or someone affiliated with civil service. Made by hand in the USA.
I miss all three of my boys swinging together in the backyard – just precious. I still love my time with them together but it’s quite different now they’re 17, 15 & 13! If you’ve got a Sam’s Club close by, be warned that they sell store-brand (Member’s Mark) Southern Style Chicken Bites, Chicken Sandwiches and Waffle Fries that are almost exact copies of Chick-fil-a! The chicken is breaded exactly the same as CFA, including the pickle flavor. In fact, I think the sandwiches are better than CFA’s! The waffle fries are probably not quite as good (hard to make frozen fries taste as good as fast food) but they’re close and at $4-5 for a 3lb bag, it’s worth it! And we live in Atlanta, GA, the home of CFA, so we have discriminating perspectives :). I realize most people only want to belong to 1 warehouse store but we belong and I frequently shop for our testosterone-driven family at both Costco and Sam’s since I can get certain things at each.
I have realized that I hate food shopping in person. I have better uses for my time! Had to do it for my parents last night and was actually hostile by the time I got home (in my defense it was extremely hot yesterday and the store was extremely short staffed). Kids are looking good. If Chik fil A sold their lemonade in stores….I’d buy it by the gallon. Have a great upcoming week!
Your family is so beautiful, kid’s are just adorable & so is Judith!!!!
That peach pie is picture perfect ! I’m sure it was delicious 😋. I’m going to try the recipe when you post it !!! Love seeing the pictures you post of the kids & the puppies 🐶. Thank you 😊
That pie looks delicious. Love the pictures of the kiddos and Judith. Have a good weekend. Wish I had a piece of the peach pie. Yum!
Aldi has good waffle fries (also sweet potato) & tots. People also rave about the “red bag chicken” which they say taste like CF chicken sandwiches. Have a great weekend!
Beautiful peach pie😊
I wouldn’t touch anything made by Chic Fil A. Homophobia doesn’t sit well with me and they are the epitome of homophobia. . I’m sure there are similar products made by more ethical companies.
Yep – I’ve never eaten there & never will.
That pie looks amazing! Could you please link to the recipe?
Costco also has grilled chicken skewers in the refrigerator section. They taste just like the Chick-fil-A grilled nuggets, IMHO.
Hi! We buy a “copycat” Chick Fil-A waffle fries and chicken nuggets at Sam’s Club. The brand is Member’s Mark and they’re in a red and white bag. They’re so good!
Yes! I was going to post this. They are really good waffle fries
Wondering if you or anyone else has watched Outpost?
Wondering if it’s worth watching.
Love looking at Judith pics every week.
Love your recipes and pictures of the kids and pets. Can you post the recipe for the peach pie? it looks yummy.
Can you share the recipe? I’m signed up to make desserts for my sons band camp next week and want to make peach pie for one of the days. Have you ever made a hand pie version?
I always love your recipes! They always turn out great!
