Friday Favorites

Cullyn comes home from camp tomorrow, so that's my true FAVORITE of the week!

Puzzle progress! It's been full on 'fish' at our house since school got out. Including this adorable fish puzzle!

Lola turned 9! And to celebrate she got a new {elevated} dog bed {to hopefully help with her hips}! I know many dog owners thinks this, but Lola truly is one of the very best dogs! She is SO smart {absolutely no credit to us for that!}

Tell me your old without telling me -- I just LOVE a nice yard! Adam has been taking such good card of your lawn this year. {Cullyn actually mows and then Adam edges, weed eats, & blows it off -- this was 'mid' lawn session} & my front yard {that we planted last fall} is GROWING!

I'm so sad we missed these guys, but one of our favorite friends brought his boys to spend some time with Adam & Cullyn! It sounds like they picked up right where they left off! I know Cullyn had a great time!

It was Card Club week! This has been one of my highlights for 2026! After years on my vision board, I finally pulled the trigger and started a monthly card club. It's one of the nights I look forward to most each month! This month we played 10's.

BONUS

I listened to Things I Wish I Told My Mother while puzzling

and thought it was cute. 4/5 from me.

Happy Friday everyone!!

Friday Favorites

Jordyn & I are currently in South Carolina visited my sister and her daughter! Plus my mom was able to fly in to meet us for a few days, too! So that is the #1 favorite for this week!!

Jordyn and I have been crossing rooms off our 'purge' list left and right! We have 15 areas to address and we've already done 5 the first week of summer! NOTHING was safe with us -- that donate pile went down the hallway. Like seriously, why do I have 17 flashdrives?!

It only took 2 years, but we finally have some photos in the loft

thanks to Adam & Jordyn!

I blame this on my friend Alicia, but WOW! She made we watch Off Campus, so of course I had to order the book to quickly read it before I started the series. Noteworthy, I bought this to read with Jordyn {14} this summer and I'm very glad I read it first because it is not PG!

I came upstairs one night and Cullyn had convinced his sister to workout with him. It brought a smile to my face. I find the kids get along even better when Adam is traveling for work {he was in MN earlier this week}.

It was book club week! We read Bad Summer People so the theme of book club this month was tennis. We had sushi and summer salad.

Bonus

I got my Herbal Face Food in this week, so I'm about to do a 30 day trial!

If you want to get a bit and try it with me, I have a promo code for 30%off!

Happy Friday everyone!!

Summer Fun List

School is OUT for the SUMMER! We're all so dang excited for the break!

We have several weeks of travel planned for this summer, but in between that there will be sports camps for both, and a sleep away camp for Cullyn. Plus two groups of visitors! In between there, we're hoping to explore some spots around Florida, too!
