Happy Friday! This week has been a great mix of school and summer stuff. It has been BUSY, but so much fun! I have some favorites to share with you, so let’s get to it.

Favorite 1: POOL!! I didn’t make it to the pool every day this week, but I did get there a few times and it was wonderful! I saw my friends, swim team started, Jack guarded, and we all enjoyed the sunshine!

Favorite 2: MOVIE!! I very rarely watch a movie. I think the last one I watched was Barbie. We had a very rainy Wednesday afternoon and I have been thinking about an old favorite movie for weeks. Have you ever seen Back to the Beach? Did you love it? We LOVED it growing up and I still love it now! I rented it and have already watched/had it on twice in my 48 hours.

Favorite 3: ACTIVE DRESSES!! I know I talk about them all the time, but I really love them! This week I wore my pink dress to school and then stayed a little later to cut down some tall grasses in our school’s courtyard that have gotten out of control. It was HOT, but I got it done and could still run errands around town. I wore my blue dress with a super cute zip up from the Masters (thanks Annie!). I also wore my Lilly active dress one day and ran around after school getting lots done for the weekend and week ahead. I was so comfy!



Favorite 4: KIDS!! Jack had his last day of school and I am so proud of him! He had a great freshman year. He made a lot of great friends, did so well in school, had 3 great sports seasons, and managed his time in a way that really impressed me!

Jack has been relaxing on his first few days of summer, but he has also been tackling the lists I am leaving for him. It’s great to come home to a few extra chores done and a happy kid!
I found Luke snuggled in my bed one morning this week. It has been a long time since he last crawled in my bed while I was downstairs exercising. The past week or so has been a struggle to get to bed with all the summer fun around.

I took off Monday afternoon and was able to scoop Rita’s for Luke’s 7th grade play day. I haven’t volunteered much in middle school and this was so fun!

Favorite 5: BRACELETS! It is no secret that I love bracelets. I mixed some gold with colorful bracelets this week and loved the stack!

I also loved this set with my pink dress.

Favorite 6: KINDLE!! Jeff often reads at night and on vacation. When we went to Florida in February, he didn’t want to take the giant book he was reading and I got an idea. I decided that the kids and I were going to give him a kindle for Father’s Day. We are getting ready to do a little traveling this weekend so we gave it to him early. I think he is loving it. He also got a new library card to use Libby for books. I always love when more people use the library and read!

I am so excited to get my toes in the sand this weekend! Luke has a lacrosse tournament at the beach and his games are all early in the morning. Woohoo for beach time! I know that we’ll finish our audio book on our way to the beach and need to pick another one. Have a weekend full of sunshine and books!


Sounds like so much business yet fun-wishing you a wonderful end-of-school-year and entry into summer!
Great idea! I love when you find that perfect gift that a person will love but wouldn’t buy for themselves! Happy summer!
I would love to have a pool like that nearby! I think I would spend most of my days there!
I have never seen Back to the Beach but it sounds like a great movie!
Well done to Jack! It sounds like he has had a great year!
I have been inspired by all the gorgeous bracelets that I have seen on Friday Favorite posts and I’ve ordered my self some in different colours and sets. They should be arriving soon.
Love your active dresses! Any chance you could provide a link for those or something similar? Happy Summer ☀️

Oh gosh what a blast from the past! I haven’t seen Back to the Beach in forever but I really loved that movie growing up.
I really need to give an active dress a try! It’s so hot and humid where I live it seems like a good option to have! And it’s so nice when you can come up with a great gift idea! I always use my library for Kindle books! If you are going to the beach I’m sure you will have a great weekend!
Congrats to Jack on a great freshman year. Luke in your bed. Haha so sweet! Trav and the kids got me a new kindle for Mother’s Day….its a little bigger and I love it. I just go back from kc, and I was the driver, so I decided to listen to my first even audiobooks to and from kc. It was a good use of my time 🙂
Good call to listen to an audio book! It makes me feel so much more productive while I am driving and it fun!
