Starting off with a story that made me tear up this week. Read it here. You can look around and always find good people, but it is nice when they are SO good SO young. Sad events this week involving young adults (what a horrific story out of Charleston ... so disturbing, disgusting, and heartbreaking) make me happy to hear about folks who are doing the RIGHT thing.

I spied this recipe on Pinterest and must recreate this beautiful toast. Yes, please.

I am so in love with this weekender! The perfect size for a little getaway. Isn't it cuuuuute?!
After spending a night out this week, I was so ready to return home. I pulled up in the driveway Thursday evening just in time to get Camille bathed and to sleep. We read this book before bed ... hands down, my favorite book to read to her. Moms ... get ready to do the ugly cry while reading it.
This weekend is our annual (BIG) family weekend at the lakehouse ... all of my mom's family comes to town. There will be eighteen of us. Eighteen! Bring on the great family time, a few fun little surprises, some time in the lake bobbing on a noodle, and -- of course -- LOTS of great food. Maybe a little bit of Cards Against Humanity too, because it's even more fun and awkward playing with your parents, aunts and uncles!
TGIF y'all, and hope you will join in on Five on Friday this week! Cheers to the weekend!
That toast looks amazingly delicious!
ReplyDeleteLove your bag!! Have a blast this weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness how sweet is that news story? I teach middle school and always love when I see compassion and kindness like this in my students. Hope y'all have a good weekend! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the tragedy in Charleston and my heart goes out to those families. Hope you have a great time this weekend!

ReplyDeleteOh gosh, we played that game with my parents over Christmas and I about died! So super awkward but I'm pretty sure I burned a few calories from all the crunched over laughing!

ReplyDeleteI love that game! Sounds like y'all are going to have such a fun weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteCards Against Humanity is THE BEST!!
ReplyDeleteUm, that toast?! Yum! Delish. I'll have to try to make sometime this summer. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your fun link up! I've just joined in and can't wait to meet some new bloggers. I've also added your button to my linky party page.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting a new link up this weekend so if you have a spare moment I'd be thrilled if you could join in. It's called Sundays Down Under and it starts Sunday AM in Oz or Saturday PM in the USA.
Take care and best wishes for a fabulous weekend.

I love that weekend bag! Great color! Thanks for hosting :) ~Ree
ReplyDeleteI hadn't read that article, what a great kid. And out of my current home state, amazing! That toast looks delicious! And Cards Against Humanity is always fun!
ReplyDeleteCards Against Humanity...even BETTER with your parents/older family members. "What does X mean?" always starts a great conversation. We've actually had to google some of the cards...even WE are clueless about some of those words / phrases. Ha!
ReplyDeleteThat toast looks amazing! Cards Against Humanity is always a good time! Our office played it together at our Christmas party and it was embarrassing, but hilarious.
