Happy Friday 5/10/24

Happy Friday! How are you? We’re getting ready to celebrate Mother’s Day with our moms this weekend (how lucky are we that they both live nearby?!). We’ll be bbq-ing in Nana’s backyard and enjoying her new table :) Anywho, I’m still loving the smell of lilacs all over our small town, so I’m leaving you with another pic of the lilacs at our last house. Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Some fun links from the week…

Filing this English home tour under ‘short ceilings can be so charming’. I actually have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to the topic!

Your neighbors are retiring in their 30s. Why can’t you?

This week was teacher appreciation week (thanks to all you amazing educators out there!) so the kids and I made a double bath of the BEST EVER chocolate chip cookie recipe for the teacher’s lounge.

My fav every-day sunscreen.

The 25 best movies on Netflix to stream right now. I can’t wait to watch King Richard.

One of my very favorite places in the world: Washington’s state’s San Juan Islands. I could spend a whole summer here island hoping!

For Mother’s Day I asked Garrett and the kids for a family hike and a new pair of running shoes. These are my very favorites!

Read this historical-fiction/romance/comedy about Lady Jane Grey after getting a hot tip that it’ll be an Amazon show soon, and what a hoot it is!

Have a good one!

ps here’s a fun riddle from our 2nd-grader’s puzzle book: how can you make seven even? (I’ll share the answer on IG stories later today!)
