Happy Friday 2/24/23

Happy Friday! How are you? We skipped town (and the freezing temps) this week and headed south to California for a little sunshine and family time. The sun didn’t really materialize and the temps were unseasonably cold, but it was still a lovely change of pace. We stayed in a small cottage in Manhattan Beach (a friend-of-a-friend’s), and fell in love with the neighborhood’s walking streets, beautiful beaches, and cute houses. Wishing you a relaxing weekend.

Some fun links from the week…

This week we did that thing we always do on vacation and hunted for the best fixer uppers. This cute little cottage was my top contender but then I zillowed it and WOW, can you believe what it sold for last year?! Mind blown.

The puzzling gap between how old you are and how old you think you are. I’m 40, but in my head I feel like I’m in my early-30s. What about you?

Found myself googling “how to help your kids bond and get along” after a particularly bicker-ey week. Loved this list of ideas (especially #9).

What Jackie Kennedy ate in a Day.

How cute is this nature-inspired notebook?

Anyone else dreaming about summer travel? These pretty Italian villas are ready to rent and sure to excite your wanderlust.

I’ve been adding a couple drops of this bronzer to my face moisturizer for a little Spring pick-me-up.

Rihana on motherhood.

The design work in this newly built six-cabin camp is stunning. Can you just imagine eating breakfast at that built-in banquet?!

The newest book on my nightstand made me laugh, made me cry, made me introspective…and that was just in the first 10 pages. Can’t recommend this one enough! (amazon, Indiebound)

Have a good one!
