Happy Friday! I cannot believe it is the last Friday of July! That is most definitely not a favorite! July flew by, so August better slam on the brakes and takes its time to pass. We are in full on summer mode and loving every minute of it. Here are some summer favorites from the week.

Favorite 1: TARGET! We went to Target this week for (school supplies – shhh!!) and a bunch of other things. I was so excited to find a 20% off coupon in my Target app for teachers. It was easy to verify myself and have that coupon show right up in the app.

I found these fabulous curtain rods for our office and library. I never replaced the rods when we moved in almost 10 years ago because I couldn’t find something what wowed me like these.

I am still loving this Target skort. I ended up sizing down because I thought it was cut pretty generously.

Favorite 2: GLASSES! My glasses are only a half favorite. I do not love wearing them and I do not love having pink eye, but I am glad I have huge lenses in my glasses so I can see as much as possible. I thought I would be back in my contacts today, but I misread the eye drop bottle. I’ll be back in my favorite contacts tomorrow.


Favorite 3: SWIM!! I know I say it every week, but I love summer swim! The boys had a great summer of swimming and tomorrow is our last meet and team banquet. I’ll miss it in August, but I’m not sure I’ll miss the four trips to the pool before noon each morning. The boys aren’t the only ones that have fun at summer swim. The parents have fun, too!



Favorite 4: BOOKS!! I read a bunch this week and it makes me so happy! I have a few books lined up for next week that I am looking forward to reading! Have you read Hula, On Fire Island, Mrs. Nash’s Ashes, The Soulmate, or The Unsinkable Greta James? I’m not sure which one to read first.





I finished Same Time Next Summer by Annabel Monaghan and loved it. Her novel from last year, Nora Goes Off Script, was so fun to read and so was this one! If you are looking for a light, easy read I recommend both of them!



Hello Monday
What’s Up Wednesday
Monthly Musings – Summer Fashion
I hope you have a wonderful last weekend of July soaking up all the summer things. I am going to try to do exactly that! I’ll see you on Monday for Hello Monday with Holly and me. Have a great weekend full of sunshine and books!

Love your glasses- you look great in them! Glad you are still soaking up every day of summer there like we are 🙂
You don’t want to hear this but I love you in glasses! They are both darling! I also love those curtain rods. I can’t wait for Same Time to come up in my library requests and also the cover makes me happy!
Love your glasses. Hadley didn’t do swim team this summer and I didn’t miss the early pool times but I did miss hanging with the parents at meets…swim meets are always full of good memories.
The soulmate is AMAZING! Also, the house across the lake is REALLY good too!
I just finished On Fire Island and enjoyed it. I’ve been very envious reading various bloggers who have had their summer off. So lucky!
I just picked up Mrs. Nash’s Ashes today and I did read the Soulmate. I am loving that Target skort– I just ordered a few pj’s from them this week.
That’s good to get money off at Target and your glasses are fabulous!
Your glasses look awesome!
I always get excited for book recs! I personally really loved The Unsinkable Greta James.
