Hello and happy Friday!
How was your week? We had a good one overall. It was one without too many extra activities or commitments. I can’t believe this is the last Friday in June!
This makes me want to both laugh and cry.
As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.
Here are some favorites from the week:
No pic but I had pool time a couple times this week, both at our pool and my sister-in-law’s mom’s house. I hope to hit up the pool even more now that it feels like things have settled down a bit.
Anyway, another favorite was celebrating our anniversary on Tuesday. Trav and I were married on June 24, 2005.
Is it even a celebration without a card with bubble letters?
In a true picture of our life right now, we had dinner in between picking Hayden up from his workout and picking Hadley up from work.
We went out for sushi, and it hit the spot! It was a nice evening.
My friends have really shown up over the past week. It was just a hectic one with the kids’ wisdom teeth extractions and then a couple of other appointments.
I’d never even seen this book, and my friend dropped it off for me…
I can’t wait to read it!
Another friend, sent dinner on Saturday night along with some Gatorade for the kids, so I didn’t have to leave the house.
…and my sister-in-law sent some sweet treats too…
I appreciated the additional support while juggling a few extra things on my plate.
How cute is this mug?
Last week, Hadley and I were out and about, and I popped into a store I’d never been in….I was looking for a dress, but walked out with the cute mug.
Mugs don’t frustrate me…they are cute and one size fits all. The same can’t be said for dresses.
Homer continues to be the sweetest…and always seems to find the sunshine.
I purchased a few candles from Antique Candle Co. They had their spring and summer candles on sale, so I chose these three:
Almond Vanilla will be perfect for the fall; I’ve already lit Sun-Kissed Citrus, and it’s great for summer. Lavender Vanilla is one of my faves, and I will burn it next or save it for spring.
It had been a minute since I got out the celebratory red plate. The kids took turns using it for dinner to celebrate the end of freshman year…yes, a month ago! haha
They wrapped up the year with great grades and lots of track accolades.
Hadley had the plate before wisdom teeth extractions, and Hayden had it after!
I rarely buy clothes from Nordstrom, but I have purchased quite a few things through the years. Their Nordstrom sale wasn’t even on my radar, but I saw an ad on Instagram for these Wit and Wisdom flare frayed jeans…the “ab” solution fit..and the waist has good stretch. I have a pair of the “ab” solution jeans, so these caught my attention. Also, I like a cropped/shorter pair of jeans. Anyway, I purchased two pairs of these…deep sea grass and ecru, and I know I will get a lot of wear out of them…even wearing them to school.
Favorite Mom Meme:
Ok, this made me chuckle, but I can also relate. How do I have two kids driving me around town?! (BTW – I’m still getting used to this milestone!)
Weekly Recap:
I had a pretty full week of blogging. I had two posts yesterday because I got off on my blogging schedule…but here are my posts this week:
I hope you have the best summer weekend!

Oh gosh that meme is so true but we also had family say the same thing to me this weekend when they were remarking that all the “kids” were getting so big and I informed them that only my youngest is still a kid and only for a few more months. When I mentioned Alec was 19 and Ian 21 they incredulously remarked “21?! How can that be?!” It was nice to know I wasn’t alone in that thought.
Your mug is adorable and that whole mugs don’t frustrate me like dresses is why I often buy shoes or earrings or purses. LOL

I’ve gotten the candle in a previous order and I love that it’s subtle – and I use it for the fall.
We had a great dinner. Thanks!!

I think I buy purses and earrings because they don’t frustrate me! I would have picked those same candle scents. I love anything citrus or almond! Hope you have a good weekend!

I bet you are getting palpitations since it is almost July. You have had a lot going on!
I might get a pair of those jeans. Wit and Wisdom is just so good. I feel like I will be wearing jeans more now. I love the length and the flair.
I hope you have a summery weekend planned!

This has not been a summer of relaxation…I’ve even had a few Dr appts I wasn’t planning on . Urg. We tend to have a bit more downtime in July but of course, once it’s July, I start thinking about school…even if I don’t meant too. Haha
