happy Friday!

 

What are your weekend plans?

We don't have much going on for the first time in weeks, and it feels oh-so-good. Today is Penelope's last day of 'school' until August and I'm feeling simultaneously sad and celebratory. My plan is to pick her up from school today with a special treat and enjoy the evening with pizza and a movie. Shaun and I have a lot of Game of Thrones to watch, as well as True Detective, which I'm really itching to get to. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy some links to keep you busy on this Friday!

What are your weekend plans?

We have quite a full weekend ahead. Tomorrow we'll be celebrating my sister Kimberly's birthday with swimming and barbecuing (and I hope a lot of cake). Sunday we are heading to Long Island to celebrate the baptism of my best friend's baby girl Elodie (and Penelope's birthday twin). Then I've got some last minute shopping and packing for my trip to Las Vegas on Monday. It's going to be a busy one but I'm psyched for some good weather (fingers crossed). Also on the list...planning to finally start watching this season of Game of Thrones!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday friends! I'm finally back in action, though still nursing a cough and a clogged ear. I know that some weekend time in the sun will do me well and we have lots of in-sun activities planned for the long weekend ahead. I hope that you all have the most wonderful weekend! See you Tuesday...
