Hello and happy Friday!
I’m officially at the part of summer where I really need the weeks to slow down. I still have things to cross off my list, and I guess I will need to start reading school emails soon.
As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:
I’m really loving this romper from SSYS. I love that it’s forgiving, has a flutter sleeve and is easy to dress up or down. I wore it last week when we went out to dinner.

The runners had to “carb load” before the Bluegrass 10k on the 4th of July, and we went to a fun pasta place. If gnocchi is on the menu, I usually order it! This definitely hit the spot.

I had some pool time over the 4th, and that was nice and relaxing.

Fireworks are always a fave, and the ones at our usual spot were 10/10 this year!

Hadley arriving home from camp is always a fave, but this year, given the devastation and loss of lives in Texas, I was just ready for her to be home. I think she was ready too. She had fun, but I know she was happy to sleep in her own bed.

Last weekend, I took a stroll through my favorite book. I went there to buy Kristy Woodson Harvey’s newest book since it’s on my summer reading list.

While I was there, I picked up a birthday gift for my Gma. Also, I spotted a few cute finds like this “book lovers journal”…

…and these cute playing cards that look like the book check out cards from the library. I resisted the urge to buy both.

Travis and I have been watching The Waterfront. To me, it’s Outer Banks meets Ozark, and we’ve really enjoyed it.

On Monday, we celebrated Trav’s birthday. We went out to dinner, gave him a few gifts, and had some Bundt cakes for dessert. Since Hadley was gone, and then Hayden went to camp, Monday was the one day we could all have dinner together…and it was Trav’s actual birthday.

The past few days, Trav and I have been in Michigan. We wanted to take some time away to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and neither of us have been to Michigan. I’m sure I will do a recap, but here are a few favorite photos from our few days here:

I had a couple of posts this week:
What are your weekend plans? We’re headed back soon, Hayden comes home from running camp, and we’ll soak in the last few weeks of summer break.


What a fabulous week of favorites! That trip to Michigan looks lovely and oh so relaxing.

Happy Happy Anniversary! I have to ask- is that Lake Michigan? If so, it looks like the ocean! Just beautiful 🙂

It is Lake Michigan
My mind is blown how I have to remind myself it’s a lake and not the ocean. In some parts, when you look out, it reminds me of being in San Diego.

We’ve only just started our summer here and it already needs to slow down.
That romper is so cute and the gnocchi looks so good.
It must have been so good to have Hadley home after what happened in Texas. It looks like she had a fantastic time.
Happy belated birthday to Trav and anniversary to you both.

I can’t wait to hear about Michigan! I was thinking of making a long weekend trip up there in August to beat the Tx heat, but I couldn’t make the airfare work. It looks like summer is going well, although passing too quickly!
