Today is a GOOD DAY, mostly because tomorrow we’re headed to Maine and we’re going to see my parents and my sister for the first time in almost a year-and-a-half. I cannot wait for this mini reunion. I miss them so much it’s nuts and I am so stinkin’ excited to see their faces in real life and hug them forever and possibly dissolve into a bucket of tears. 😭🥰
We’re out of town for the whole week this upcoming weekend and week, and though I won’t be completely “off of work” (when you run a blog or any kind of social media for that matter, there’s never really any kind of “off”), I will, however, be in a different zip code, right on the beach, and I’m prioritizing my favorite things to do: talking for hours on end with my family, eating all of the things, and reading all of the books.
Plus, today is Friday, and you know what that means … it’s time for another LITTLE LOVE NOTES; a.k.a., the weekend link roundup! Basically, we have plenty to celebrate!
How about you? Any exciting weekend plans?
In case you don’t yet follow along, I’ll be sharing what we’re up to throughout the weekend over on instagram (lots of fun behind-the-scenes on my insta stories too!), facebook, and twitter. Follow along!
With that, a few little love notes to the things I loved most this week …
Dear what I’m reading, I just finished an advanced copy of The Love Hypothesis (I’ll share a review soon, but in a nutshell = I adored it!) and I’m about to dive into Last Summer at the Golden Hotel (set in the Catskills and described as perfect for fans of Dirty Dancing and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel … a.k.a., I’m all over it!) Are you reading any good new books lately?
Dear Flashback Friday, SJP announced Hocus Pocus 2 is coming! Fall 2022 can’t come soon enough. 🖤
Dear home refresh, here are 10 of the best kitchen upgrades you can do for $100 or less.
Dear DIY’s to try, ice dyeing; a foolproof and beautiful version of tie dye.
Dear wanderlust, these grand chateaux are opening in France (you know, in case you want to chill in Marie Antoinette’s palace).
Dear spring cleaning, give your underwear drawer a makeover.
Dear weekend wardrobe, I’m kind of loving this relaxed linen dress from Amazon. It’s under $40 and looks way more expensive than that. It also comes in the prettiest light sage green color and of course, black.
Dear helpful, 21 believable excuses, for when you need to flake on plans. (i.e., you’d rather stay home and watch Netflix)
Dear weekend baking, a perfect-for-summer pavlova. Get the full recipe here. (See more of my favorite recipes here!)
