Happy Friday! I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share my favorites from the week. I hope your week was full of favorites!

Favorite 1: SUNSHINE!! Oh, we are soaking up the sunshine like it’s going to run out. I put in over 8 hours on the beach yesterday between walking and reading at sunrise and spending the day with the family. I love sunrise on the beach and Thursday was a good one.




Favorite 2: BOOKS!! I’m slowing down a bit the past two weeks because we’ve been with friends and family and enjoying everyone’s company. I did read The Royal We and I started The Heir Affair, both by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan


Favorite 3: SURFING!! Jeff and I have always loved surfing movies – Endless Summer, Step into Liquid, Mavericks, etc. – but the kids and I have never surfed. We signed the boys up for surfing lessons this week and they LOVED it!!




We decided to rent some surfboards so the kids could keep surfing and the rest of us could try. Update: I am not going to be featured in any surfing movies any time soon! 😂



Favorite 4: DARK!! We went to the beach after dark to find some crabs and use our glow sticks. It was fun!!


Short and sweet today, but some of my favorite favorites! I hope you have a great weekend full of sunshine and books!
This week on Sunshine and Books:

Truly an amazing happy adventure.
Your time on the beach looks like pure bliss- and that picture of the boys with the surf boards is a framer! Love it- have a great weekend Sarah!
I just LOVE sunrise on the beach!! I just love that shot of the boys near their surfboards; it’s so funny how much longer the boards are.
What a great week! Good for you trying surfing!
