Happy Friday 7/25/25
Happy Friday! Any fun weekend plans? We’re heading to the last swim meet of the season and beating the heat with one of these brilliant inventions and snacking on a batch of Nana’s scotcheroos if we’re lucky. Have you ever tried them? They taste a bit like rice crispy treats and a lot like young love at a ‘90s high school track meet ;) Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Found! The most adorable oversized cotton sweater for that evening breeze (and it’s on major sale!).

I will be stealing this ‘stamp wallpaper’ DIY one day…so clever!
A beautiful and serene Pennsylvania farmhouse. Stunning (!!!) but thinking my kids would take the serene right out of that house in ten minutes flat haha. Also, can we talk about that barn?!
Excited to see Julia Whalen’s first book turned into a movie (here’s the trailer).
Have a good one!
