Five For Friday

Five For Friday – More Cozy, Please

September 8, 2023

Happy Friday! This week it’s all about cozy. From scroll-stopping cozy aesthetic homes to finding a healthy & kids-friendly meal that my kids love (that brings me great comfort — so, basically cozy), adding more Halloween mugs to my overwhelming collection making my home a way more cozier vibe, and finally cozy new home additions from Home Goods.

Ok, so the movie I mentioned below is anything BUT cozy… but I watched it in my cozy bed. Does that count as cozy? Alright, once you see the movie you know I’ve failed miserably at making it fit into the cozy genre of today. Maybe the “bear suit” in the movie was cozy?

1. Let’s Look: Scroll-Stopping Home Images

Here are five scroll-stopping home images I found this week on the wonderful world of Pinterest. They exude an essence of coziness. They’re not part of a house, but rather a home.

2. Let’s Eat: Healthy & Kid-Friendly

I’ve been sharing healthy and kid-friendly weekday meals, and this week I made the Thursday meal: Teriyaki Chicken and my kids looooved it. Kid tested and approved. I’ll continue sharing healthy & kid-friendly meals weekly, so check back for more!

3. Let’s Watch:

Thanks to TikTok scrolling, I was watching bits and pieces of Midsommar and finally decided to take the plunge and watch the movie in its entirety. That was a lot to take in right before bed. Full review coming up! Because it’s still haunting my mind…

4. Let’s Shop: Halloween Mugs

Do I already own far too many Halloween mugs? Yes. Have I already bought more this year? Also yes. Will I buy even more before the season is over? Once again, YES. I have a problem, but I love it. Here are a few I have my eye on and some I’ve already purchased (currently sipping coffee from a cauldron mug).

5. Let’s Appreciate

I wasn’t feeling well this week, my husband ran out to get me medicine and stopped at Home Goods as well. He returned with a ghost basket, ghost pillow, and a beyond-cozy ghost blanket (which you can see in my latest Screen-Time Balance post). Needless to say, I felt immediately better. 👻

Thank you for taking the time to read! If we have mistagged a photo of yours or you want a photo removed please email us.

Books, Books to Film, Turner Classic Movies, and Outlander are topics (aside from my kids, husband, & two cats) that elicit instant joy for me. Here at 'Home With Two' you'll find those topics in plenty -- amongst so much more! Thank you for being here!

Hi I’m Julie

I love to read, write, and take too many pictures. Blogging has always combined all three loves into a fun and beautiful hobby. You can always find me with an iced coffee in one hand and a book (or two) in the other. Thanks for stopping by!

As a serial highlighter and tabber, this book would have been ABSOLUTELY COVERED in little tabs if it was a physical copy. My Kindle highlights will have to suffice until pub day (June 2027) because I have so many thoughts. 

the ghosts, the art, the wasps, the homewrecking…

This book was strange, sad, funny, beautifully unsettling, and somehow incredibly comforting all at once… and I loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My full review ⚠️with spoilers ⚠️ is up on the blog! 

Thank you @netgalley @spiegelandgrau @beckymandelbaum for this amazing ARC!
