Happy Friday 7/18/25

Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re headed to Seattle for a few days, which is my favorite spot in the whole world to spend summer (though I’ve never been to Greece or spent time on a yacht off the coast of Mallorca, so there’s that). There's paddle boarding across lake Washington, Molly Moons ice cream, runs on the Burke-Gilman trail, Mariners games, and so many fun city adventures with the kids. Can’t wait! Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Some links from the week…

This Wisconsin lakeside villa is filled with amazingly ornate artistry (shown above). That tiled ceiling in the kitchen is such a fun moment!

“I tried Denmarks number 1 secret to happiness for a year. It truly changed my life - and even made me more confident.”

Finally found a way to tell Garrett and my AirPods apart (and clean them!).

Could you have landed a job at Vogue in the ‘90s? A fun quiz, that I failed miserably ;)

Not often I post my love about ads, but Polaroid’s new campaign feels so very fresh!

PSA: Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is on now! Eyeing these flare jeans which seem to look good on every body type and this cozy turtleneck sweater (my head says it’ll be cold enough to wear it eventually, even if it seems impossible right now).

Nana kindly shared some of her raspberries from her garden and I made a big batch of this homemade jam recipe. It’s my favorite - tastes like summer!

Summer’s not even close to over! Here are 27 kid-approved adventures.

This cozy cottage was once a crumbling garage - now it’s filled with fairy-tale details. Just so lovely!

Currently listening to this amazing story. Had to wait about a million weeks for it but worth it!

Have a good one!
