Friday Favorites--First Post Edition!

 Happy Friday friends! As you can see by the title this is my first post here at Pennanen Pens. Exactly one year ago I left my teaching career to be a stay-at-home momma. Even though there are many aspects of teaching that I miss so much, I have also loved being able to stay home. There is nothing better for me than to be the one at home with my baby. Recently I have felt the pull to want to do something else...working outside the home is just not an option right now, so I thought what better time than now to start a blog! LOL Do people even read blogs anymore??! I don't know, but I still read a few so thought maybe I'll give this is a go again... (way back in my single days, I did blog for a while, and I really enjoyed it). 

Anyway...enough rambling for now! LOL Friday Favorites are my FAVORITE posts to read so I thought what better way to start than with one of those posts! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika by the way!

Here we go with a few of my FAVORITES from the week!

#1 My Flowers!

My hubby planted these a couple weeks ago and I'm just so excited that I haven't killed them yet! LOL Fingers crossed I can keep them going all summer! 


#2 Sweet Magnolias

I think I'm late to the party on this one, but oh my goodness, this is my new FAVORITE show! I'm into season 2 already so I'm going to need a new one soon.... does anyone have any good recs??


#3 Summer Reads
I plan to do a post soon where I actually review these books, but if you need some reading suggestions for the summer, these are all great books! They're all very different, but really good.


I'm having a moment with Madewell! I hopped in there the other day and oh my goodness I wanted one of everything. I made a little collage here with some of my FAVORITES!

                                  Mini Dress    Gingham Top    Maxi Dress    Earrings    Sandals


#5 Cute Summer Top


I purchased this top recently for our trip to Panama. I like that it's short enough to wear with shorts, but not a crop top (which seems to be hard to find lately). I also brought these sandals to wear with dresses, but they look cute with anything! 
Speaking of Panama, if you follow me over on Instagram @mrspennanen you can see my latest post was a reel I put together of some of our pics from the trip. 😊

Ok, I think that wraps up my first post! If you've made it this far--thank you for reading!! I hope everyone has a very happy Memorial Day weekend!

Friday Favorites {4.21.23}

Happy Friday Friends! I'm linking up again with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share my FAVORITES from the week! Here we go!  1. Live with Kelly and Mark! I watched Live with Kelly for YEARS, and then gave it up the past few years, but when I saw Mark Consuelos (her husband) was going to be the new Co-host, I knew I had to start watching again. I always loved when he filled in on the show, so I've been recording the show this week, and I love it.  2. It's been chilly here which has got me pulling out all my sweatshirts and sweaters again. And also shopping for sweatshirts 😂 I saw  this oversized one  on  Amazon  and loved this  orange one  for spring! 3. I also pulled out one of my favorite nail polishes this week,  Essie Toned Down . It's such a pretty, darker/gray/blue color and I actually really love it for this time of year.  You can find all the things I use for my at-home-mani linked  here ! 4. Last week I mentioned I got a new  moisturizer  for spring/summer and I love

Happy Friday Friends! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share my FAVORITES on this last Friday in April! Where has the month gone???   Let's get started... 1. Next week we're headed on a little vacay to the Bahamas and I'm so excited to get away and relax, and enjoy some sunshine! I've been looking for dresses for spring and vacation and I rounded up some cute white ones  from Amazon here ! 2. Speaking of vacay, I'm going to need a fun nail color so I was thinking one from  this set here  would be cute! 3. I did grab  these shorts  to take and they are super cute and fit well! I linked them with other things  here . 4. I'll also be sure to bring this fun  Very Raspberry lipstick  with me! 5. Target has so many cute sandals right now! I saw  this pair  in light purple, in the store the other day, and I didn't grab them but I wish I would have! I can't find the purple online, but all the colors are so cute! Perfect for vacay or anything this

I really love this  black one here ! 3. Seinfeld...I love this show so much! I've seen them all, and just started rewatching it on Netflix! Love having it on in the background, and it's just such a good show if you need to laugh. 4.
