Friday Favorites – 5/2/25

Happy Friday! Oooooo! Happy first Friday of May! That just sounds so close to summer! The days were long this week, but Friday came pretty quickly! I am so happy it did! Let’s get to the favorites…

Linking up with Erika and Andrea

Favorite 1: UNDEFEATED!! Jack’s golf team won their final regular season match last night and went 10-0! It has been so fun to watch them play and have fun. Playoffs start next week, so there is still work to be done.

Favorite 2: SUNSHINE!! Holy moly! The weather this week has been absolutely perfect! It’s been sunny and warm all day, every day. I am loving it! Perfect for walking, running, reading, and hanging out. I even snuck in a visit to check on the pool. It’s not ready yet, but it will be soon!

Favorite 3: DRESS WILD! As part of our school fun run incentives, the students earned a day where the teachers dress wild. We could do any kind of wild – wild animal, costume, wacky tacky, wigs, etc. I decided to dress as a lifeguard and teach from a pool all day. It was so fun to blow my whistle for adult swim and to remind people to walk.

Favorite 4: BOOKS!! I have been reading up a storm lately. I got a big book order in at my school library. I have checked out a bunch of new picture books from our public library. I have been reading middle grade novels and graphic novels any chance I get. All of these new to me books have definitely been a favorite!

If you are a seaonal reader, it might be fun to read Betting on Good this weekend for the Kentucky Derby. Happy Oaks Day to those who celebrate! The book described the Oaks Lily cocktail and it sounds delicious!

Hello Monday
Reading Lately
What’s Up Wednesday

The calendar doesn’t look too busy this weekend, but I think we will fill our days. We have a community clean up day at the pool on Saturday. Luke has a soccer and lacrosse game on Sunday. I am sure Jack will get to the golf course at least once if the weather cooperates. I’m going to read as much as I can! Have a great weekend full of sunshine and books!

    That pool will be ready before you know it, friend! I love your joy here, it’s always contagious! I think your idea of being a lifeguard and teaching from a pool all day was clever. I’m sure your students loved that! Happy Friday to you!

    Well done to Jack and the golf team. Good luck to them with the Playoffs.
    We have had some amazing weather here too. It has been lovely to enjoy more time outside.
    The dress wild day sounds like so much fun! Your little pool did make me chuckle!

    Oh that wacky teacher day sounds like so much fun! I’ve been seeing that book in a few places this week and I really must pick it up soon. I wish I had thought to find it and pack it for my trip to Louisville!
