Friday Favorites!!

Happy Friday!!! The opening ceremony of the Olympics starts tonight and I am so excited!! I love the Olympics but especially after what last year was like, we need something to cheer on. Dustin’s birthday is Sunday and I’m throwing him an Olympic-themed party 🙂

Today’s FAVORITES post is going to be short and sweet because as I’m writing this Thursday night, I’m hurrying to get in bed because my mom and I are going to breakfast and then shopping!

One

I did a Day in the Life post from earlier this week, and I think we can all agree how much we all love reading about other people’s days 🙂 I’ll be the first to admit I’m always fascinated how people spend their days.

I finished reading Starry Night this week and LOVED IT!!!! If you’re looking for something light and easy, this book is for you!! I had no idea it was actually a Christmas novel when I checked it out on the Libby app, but it’s not overly Christmas-themed. Carrie, the main character, is a society page editor who is tired of writing about parties and wants to write more serious pieces. Her boss tells her if she can track down a new popular author who is like a recluse and get an interview, she can write whatever she wants. Carrie heads to Alaska to track down Finn and…..you’ll have to read the rest 🙂 It was a quick read and I read this in two days.

I technically haven’t finished The Nantucket Inn yet–I’m a quarter of the way through!!–BUT this book is already a favorite!! I like the premise of the story and when I checked it out, I didn’t realize it was book 1 of a series. Lisa’s husband has passed away and she found out he gambled all of their savings away. She wants to keep her home so she decides to transform it as a bed and breakfast. Her four adult children all have issues of their own, so it’s been really fun reading about multiple characters. Plus, the setting is Nantucket and seems completely idyllic!

I want to leave y’all with a peek into my life as a toddler boy mom 🙂 Dustin was working late one night, so I was putting Harrison to bed by myself. While I was calling for him, he ran out of the hallway like this, so naturally I had to snap a picture before I made him put the pitcher up haha! He sometimes wears that pitcher as a hat, and we’re breaking him from his paci so he’s been chewing on that teething toy more lately.

I hope y’all have a great weekend and I will see you back here on Monday!! I also wanted to say thank you so much for reading my blog. I love connecting with everyone, and I hope my little piece of the internet brings you happiness 🙂
