THE WEEKEND EDIT- BONUS MOMS
It was a great weekend to celebrate our youngest child’s graduation. We hosted a party with his friends and parents at a local brewery. After an assortment of White C, a house Chardonnay or a Red Blend, we packed the last of Evan’s 27 college t-shirts and 1/2 dozen pairs of grey sweats into Ikea bags with 40 pound weight limits.
And then Mother’s Day showed up. So here is to my mom all the moms, dog moms, grandmothers, aunties, and friends. Women who show up for each other to listen, vent and make us laugh until we cross our legs into bendy straws to keep us from tinkling.
Remember you cannot spell mothers without others.
WATCHING + READING + LOVING
You can’t spell smother without mother.
- If you read about my wedding ring saga I am getting my ring resized just a smidge. This means I will inevitably inhale a Costco-size bag of popcorn and won’t be able to remove my wedding ring until the temperatures dip below 30 degrees.
- Check out this cute spring centerpiece.
- I am wearing these earrings fin the photo above.
- I am reading (listening) to All the Broken Places. It’s so good!
- Have you heard of Chirp for audible books? I received 1/2 off All the Broken Places with no monthly commitment.
- My friend Carol in Dallas shared this fun decoupage craft!

FROM THE ARCHIVES
Shop Notes: Organize your fridge with these glass storage containers. We ordered these solar lights for our side yard. My sister ordered them too and loves them too! They are not the prettiest, but they are effective and great for those not photo-worthy spots in your yard, but you want a little glow. I love the pillow covers on Etsy.
