Simple Joys no. 3

Happy Thursday!!  

I’m back today with another installment of Simple Joys.  I really love doing these posts because it forces me to think about the small things that bring me joy, and that can really put things into perspective when you’re having a bad day.

As always, please share your Simple Joys in the comments!

-reading a good book (I’m halfway through this one and it’s hilarious!!)
-Nutella
-making a new recipe and it turning out perfectly!
-following news on the Royal Family
-Christmas movies

Weekend Review!

Happy Monday!!!  This weekend was filled with both relaxation and busyness and it was perfect!

 Dustin and I started out Friday night with a date night to Taco Mama.  It’s a chain that we (or me?) absolutely love.  This time I got nachos and a skinny marg and it was so good!  Dustin got his usual burrito order with a flavored marg.  Sadly, we didn’t get a picture together–#newparentlife? ha!  My dress is from last summer, but this is this summer’s print!!


Saturday morning Harrison woke up at 5am (😩), so I got up with him.  After his bottle, we both fell back asleep on the couch until 8 haha!


 Then Dustin and I both exercised separately while the other person stayed with Harrison.  Then I got Harrison ready for running errands with me and died laughing when I put this hat on him.  I bought this little playsuit and hat from a Facebook group.

We stayed pretty chill Saturday night–Harrison had a bath, we ordered pizza, and Dustin watched Alabama softball while I read my book for my June book club meeting.

(It was The Lying Game by Ruth Ware and I hated every moment of it haha!!  I hate thrillers, so it was torture for me to read it.)


Sunday morning we went to church and took Harrison to the nursery for the first time ever.  Up until now, we’ve just kept Harrison in the service with us and he’s either slept in his carseat or we’ve held him.   Now that’s he’s turned 3 months, I felt like I was ready to take him to the nursery.  Of course he did great and I only worried a little during the service ha!

Harrison is wearing a sunsuit from Shrimp and Grits Kids!

We went out to lunch after and then Harrison napped at home while I did a little laundry.  Sunday was a lazy day for us at home.  Later that evening, I got together with some girls from church and we watched the season finale of When Calls the Heart.  My friend Emily made Canadian snacks for us to eat while we watched.  If you watch WCTH, please tell me what you thought about the finale and about how they handled Abigail’s leave!!

Friday Faves!

Happy Friday!!!  Today’s post is short and sweet because I’ve got to get outside and go exercise!

Back at the beginning of May, I asked on IG for recommendations for tinted moisturizers with spf.  I don’t wear make up a ton in the summer unless I’m going somewhere nice (aka dinner or church) so I wanted something to give me a little color/smoothness and that had spf because that is so important to me now.

I’ve used this a handful of times and love it!!  It’s great especially if you have combination skin and it literally feels like silk going on–it’s the softest!!  I got the color light and it matches perfectly.  I know it’s technically a tinted primer (so you can also use it under your make up), but the girl at Sephora assured me it’s perfect as a tinted moisturizer and it has been!


I received a package in the mail from a sweet blog reader in Scotland (Hi, Madeleine!!) with a local issue celebrating Archie’s birth–loved it!!!  And she included Scottish candies for me to taste, too!  That’s definitely my favorite package of the month!

That’s it for today!  I’m headed outside to go run.  I hope y’all have a great weekend and I’ll see y’all back on Monday!
