Life Lately: Week 24

This is what the past week looked like.

Dog days of summer.

"I've been standing at the edge of the water

Long as I can remember...

I come back to the water."

In office day.

Griffin lunch special.

IYKYK.

I heart Battle Creek.

Hosted friends with a little Qdoba spread.

Manny immediately went and sat where our friends had been sitting, aw!

Cynthia is a voice of our generation and did a fantastic job hosting The Tony Awards.

Of course, the Hamilton performance was incredible and I've watched it about ten more times lol.

In office again this week.

Free lunch Thursday.

We were just drinking our coffee and a little deer family walked across our backyard.

They were so cute.

He doesn't look comfortable.

His sandwich (left) versus my sandwich (right).

Deck sitting.

"Sunsets connect us to our sense of wonder."

We picked up the kiddos for a fun overnight.

Grabbed brunch at That New Place.

My quiche was delightful. 

The salt and pepper shakers were unique at every table and this eggs and bacon on toast was my favorite.

Benny's favorite was a shark with a leg in it, lol.

How we feel about peanut butter and jelly cups.

Playing with their new toys.

Tub time.

These kiddos love an avocado roll.

Lifeguard Manny is on duty.

Having a spa moment.

Pistachio ice cream was a hit.

Movie night!

This movie was so heart warming and funny.

Highly recommend.

Morning snuggles.

Breakfast bonfire.

Catching fish.

Boat time.

We paddle boated for over an hour and it was so fun.

The whole family came over to celebrate Father's Day and Eric's 40th and we ate pizza and spent all day on the lake.

My mom made Eric the most perfect Star Wars cake.

Perfect day.

Well said.

Yes, I need more time to enjoy summer.

If you know you know.

It's funny because it's true.

Life Lately: Week 23

This is what the past week looked like.

It's a bit Where's Waldo, but there was a mom, dad and baby deer running away from Manny and I.

Culver's to support our local library. 

In office day celebrating a few fun new launches.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but this book wasn't my favorite.

I almost gave up on page 160, but then kept going because of all the hype.

See also: it's so long.

There were some fun twists, but they seemed so unrealistic.

Fave quotes:

"'You think I'm beautiful?' 'Entirely and absolutely.'"

"If you ever get the chance to make someone smile, or better yet, make someone laugh, then you take it. Each and every time."

"I wonder what exactly a mistake is. A thing we should not have done, right? But if learning is built on trial and error there can be no mistakes, only rungs on a ladder to someplace better."

He brings me flowers, insert heart eyes.

If I could turn back time.

G grilled brats and sweet potato fries.

Deck sitting is the best.

Summer sunsets are here.

Lunch date with my mom.

My lavender martini and truffle fries hit.

Peach salad obsessed.

We walked around town chatting and had a lovely afternoon.

Finally purchased a water jug (after using an old orange juice jug for years) and it's making me happy.

It really is the little things in life.

I swam four times this week.

Good cloud day.

You have a pizza my heart.

This was a cute read.

I liked the premise and think G and I would be a diamond match.

And now I want to do Try Something New Sunday.

This guy loves a blanket.

Brunch life.

In full bloom.

Saturday was the most perfect summer day.

Coffee on the porch, long walk with M, porch sitting, floating with a good book, and going to bed tired from all the sunshine. 

Creamsicle skies.

Iced coffee always.

A burger as big as your head.

You just don't see a juke box anymore.

Picture perfect.

Deep.


After AI made me a morning routine it gave me this inspiring pep talk.

100 percent.

I texted this to my SIL and she tried it and now I need to try it.

This is why I don't make sourdough.

I like a mist.

So funny.

Treats emporium!

Sunturday, lol.

Hahaha.

Lol.

The pollen right now!

The anxiety!
