Hello and happy Friday!
How was your week? I feel like we’re finally hitting the summer groove with only a couple of more weeks until we go back to school!
As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.
This is a rather short week of favorites as we didn’t have a ton going on, but that, within itself, is a favorite. I’m savoring these slower summer days.
Here are some other favorites:
I typically don’t shop much when we go on vacations…besides picking up the occasional sweatshirt, but on our last day in South Haven, we had some time to walk around and shop.
The first shop I popped into had so many cute things…and I bought a candle and two essential oil rollers. I loved the scent of all of them, and they are a fun way to think about the trip when I use them. I’ve now been using the vanilla scented one on my wrists in the morning and the lavender one at night.
I’ve been enjoying these souvenirs so far!
This week turned into a little bit of self-care this week. On Monday, I got a long overdue manicure, had my monthly facial on Tuesday, and yesterday, I went and got a pedicure. It was nice to have these pockets of time to get some things done for myself.
Homer is always a fave but especially recently. I really think he missed us as the first two weeks of July were different. Hadley was at camp, and then Hayden went to camp, and Trav and I were gone. He likes to sit a beg for a bite of my breakfast!
You guys…my cute little rechargeable dimmable scalloped lamp from Walmart is back in stock. I picked up one for the kitchen, and it’s oh so cute.
Our limelight hydrangea bush is popping off! That thing really grew this year, and right now, the blooms are everywhere. So, I snipped a few to enjoy on the coffee table.
Favorite Meal:
I tried a new recipe this week. I wasn’t sure what to have for dinner, and I already had some pasta and ground beef. So, I went to the Skinny Taste website that I hadn’t been on in years, and found this recipe for Skinny Taste Hamburger Helper. I placed a quick Kroger delivery for the ingredients I needed as well as some frozen breadsticks. Dinner was delish.
Favorite Mom Meme:
“Later” and “I’m about to” are my teens favorite phrases.
Weekly Recap:
I was a busy blogger this week…
Have a great weekend!

My absolute favorite flower is the hydrangea, the weather is so warm in Florida I have not had much luck with growing them. I think I will try it one more time though, I refuse to give up. And the one you have is just gorgeous! Have a great weekend!

Our limelight bush in our side yard took off this year! We actually need to trim it back. I feel like it came out of nowhere. Haha

I usually don’t buy things on vacay, but it was nice to have the time to stroll and look around. You should definitely go! 🙂

My limelights are so pretty this year too. I cut some for my kitchen and dining room both and love them. I had to postpone my facial since I didn’t want to lay on that table with a heavy blanket over my big boot. Your picture makes me miss it though! Enjoy the slow summer days!

I was just thinking I might trim a few more blooms for another vase in the house. I hope you are better soon!
