Happy Friday 5/9/25
Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the Mothers Day weekend? We only live a few blocks from both our mom’s so we’ll get to wish them both happy Mother’s Day in person. How lucky are we?! Plus I asked the kids to go on a hike with me, weather permitting, so fingers crossed for sunshine. Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Here are some links from the week…
This home in the Cotswolds stopped me mid-scroll (shown above). It’s so calming and beautiful and all the little details are so thoughtful.
This week I did a quick little DIY number on these inexpensive unfinished nightstands. You can check out how they turned out here. I’m a happy lady!
Loved this article on taking back childhood from phones by Jonathan Haidt. Yes to all of it!
Mother’s Day survey reveals: Moms loathe breakfast in bed. I 100% agree. Do you?
Wow! This Hudson Valley farmhouse (from 1790!) was renovated to perfection.
How the most remote community in America gets its mail. Dropped postcards in the mail for the kids when we were here for Rim to Rim to Rim last Fall and they arrived stamped with ‘delivered by mule’.
The best advice I’ve ever heard for how to be happy. Love all the advice in this one, including “Hang out with younger people. … Just ask questions. Listen. Offer food. And don’t talk about your bad knee again.”
Arcadian Revival launched a podcast and this episode is on fixing up old buildings!
Currently on my nightstand. Have you read it yet? I’ve heard it’s a motivational read for religious and non-religious people alike.
Have a good one!
