5 on Friday


Grab button for FIVE ON FRIDAY AT THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

Cheers to the lovely lady creators of this 5 on Friday link-up (hiii Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha!)!!


REDESIGN
First things first...the new, fancy, more put together design debuted here a couple nights ago. Y'all, I am obsessed!!!! Aimee of Dear Harper is one talented, sweet, loving, caring, patient, persistent, consistent, fabulous lady! If you're thinking redesign, she is your girl! I'm tellin' ya!!!

CHEERS to a new look for the new year! 

SHE READS TRUTH
I am loving the She Reads Truth advent. This week has blown me out of the water...the Holy Spirit is stirring in me and convicting me for sure!!! Glory to God! This was my favorite...just insert your name. :)

Wanna join in or read some of these devotions? Check them out here!
Days 17 and 18 were my favorites from this week. :)

GIRLY STARBUCKS DATES
So when you move to a new city and don't know anyone...the making friends process is a little slow. :) But this week I met precious Heather from Port City Prescription, and I couldn't love her more! Thank you, Jesus! How sweet it is to connect with another sister in Christ who I feel like I've known for years!!!

DECEMBER BEACH TIME
The little video I posted on Instagram melts me. I am so, so, so very thankful for my little bitty family. The beach in winter is climbing the charts to being one of my favorite things...especially with the unseasonal forecaset of 79 degrees this Sunday!! (!!!!)


POP FIZZ LINK-UP 
I had so much fun linking up with Khala and Sam yesterday! Polyvore is my new BFF. I had way too much fun making outfits. :) Can't wait to link up with them next Thursday too for NYE party ideas and decor! Join us!!! I'm most likely hosting a little get together at our place to ring in the New Year, so I need your help! All the ideas I can get!



Read yesterday's post here!


Happy weekend, everyone! Christmas is just around the corner...merry, merry!!!

    Love the girly coffee dates...!

    I recently moved, and making friends is definitely a process... surprisingly (and a bit shamefully), I have met some really great sisters in Christ at the dog park (ha!).

    You know you've fully moved in when you find a new dry cleaner, hair dresser, and a girlfriend to have coffee with!
