I can’t believe we’re already at Friday again! This week has gone by in a blur, and it may have something to do with surviving my sister-in-laws bachlorette party last weekend. Ummmm, well maybe kinda surviving? Last Saturday it was a high of 113 degrees *thank goodness I thought it was only 108, ha-ha*. We were in Palm Springs (California) and after hanging out in the pool all day, we went to a yummy dinner and then went out dancing till 2am for the second night in a row. It was so much fun, and I’m so grateful I was able to go! The day after I flew home, then my oldest son started Kindergarten *sobs*. I’m always amazed at how fast time flies and I continually wish there was a way to slow it down. I’m not ready for this huge step, but he loves his teacher and his best friend is in his class, so I am beyond ecstatic for him! I have another crazy busy weekend planned but I’m keeping my fingers crossed I can sneak in some reading. Here’s hoping you had a great week too! ♥
So, in case you aren’t familiar with our Friday Star Posts, we like to take a look at what’s happened around here in the last week, what’s coming up that we are excited about and anything else that we may have to share!
♥ Enjoy!

Yikes! That’s quite the week you’ve had Jen! I’m glad you survived! And I’m so happy your son is off to have a great kindergarten experience!🙋🏻
I’m glad I survived too lol! The desert in California is no joke! I always thought Las Vegas was hot, but they have nothing on Palm Springs! 🙂 Oh me too, he loves it soooooo much! It makes my heart so happy! ♥
I miss my pool in Florida so much! Sounds like you had a great time. Sorry to hear you disliked both books, but it happens to all of us at some point. Have a great week!

I miss my pool too! I grew up with a pool at my childhood home in California, but my parents just sold that house last month to move closer to me and my little family. I wish they had a pool here too, they’re so much fun! Wishing you a great week too!
