Happy Friday 5/12/23

Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’ve been so busy on house projects we’re a little behind on making Mother’s Day plans, but I’m excited to celebrate. And to all you mothers, grandmothers, care givers, aunties, and friends keeping kids fed and happy and growing, especially my own mom and mother-in-law…happy Mother’s Day! You make the world go round.

Some fun links from the week…

Your mom was right. Some beautiful advice from moms.

You can now live in a historic Cape Cod beach house for $2,000 a year - but there’s a catch. This is so fun!

Is this the cutest bedroom you’ve ever seen?! I’m a yes.

PSA: this block print linen tablecloth is on sale and giant (108”x70”). This striped version too. And while I know they’d look beautiful on a table, I bought them earmarked as curtains. Because in case you haven’t heard, TABLECLOTHS MAKE GREAT CURTAINS AND ARE WAY CHEAPER. That’s all ;)

You’ll know you’ve found your ideal travel companion if they have these 4 qualities.

A brand new flower library. This is such a great resource for growing and arranging flowers!

Real friendship 🙌

Picking colors can be so hard, but this 18th-century gatehouse gets it right! In love with this home.

This NASA sleeping position can cure insomnia and snoring. Who knew?!

Ladies, can we talk about hormones?! This book is all about perimenopause and optimizing hormones and basically all the things you never knew you needed to know as a woman. I only wish I had read it sooner. ps get the paper copy - you’ll want to make notes! pps ignore the corny cover. (amazon, indiebound)

Hope you have a good one!
