Happy Friday 2/7/25

Happy Friday! And happy Super Bowl weekend to all of you who celebrate. I’m ambivalent on the game, but 100% invested in the snacks ;) I’m hoping to put these slow cooker carnitas nachos together (my kids love nachos with an alarming ferocity) and maybe some protein muddy buddies, because they feel slightly healthy, maybe…? Let’s go with it! Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Here are some links from the week…

The prettiest home with a genius way to hide the TV (psst: it’s behind the tapestry!). Also, loving this yellow bedroom moment (shown above).

There should be more rituals!

Fav family game at the moment!

Made some last-minute changes to the Poplar Cottage kitchen (because of course we did 🙃) and I’m so excited about them!

6 hobbies that’ll make you happier, according to psychologists. I’m a big fan of number 3!

Can’t stop watching Chloe’s Instagram stories! Her Paris sojourn is giving me serious wander lust.

My everyday earrings. These would make a great Valentines Day gift <3

I keep coming back to this article: 21 Completely subjective rules for raising teenage boys. It’s tender and funny and always brings tears to my eyes. “Treat him to donuts, to barbecue, to a big smile, a cup of tea, the benefit of the doubt. When he lies down in your bed to be near you and the cats, you can go ahead and keep reading your book … but it’s okay to brim with joy.”

Currently listening to this novel. It’s one of those consuming, “wait I’m not in Maine right now?!” and I’m really enjoying it.

Have a good one!
