Weekend Happies

Happy Monday, friends!

Instead of my typical recap I thought I'd share a few "happies" from the weekend.  Little things that brought a big smile to my face and hopefully a couple bring a smile to your face as well!

Sunset tennis with friends....



... a giant surprise slide set up in the neighbors yard and a bestie to enjoy it with.


Birthday balloons!!!


Anyone else love chopped produce?  Seriously makes me so happy.


This big baby half on/half off the couch made me smile...


... as did all the "happy messes" around the house like Legos..


... and SLIME!


This GORGEOUSNESS brought a big ol' smile to my face...


... as did the return of one of my Trader Joe's favorites...


... and an impromptu birthday party project :)


This sweet little scene made me smile...


... and seeing these besties having the best time together did too.




Celebrating these two with lots of friends made me heart SO HAPPY...


... as did stumbling across this amazing mosaic downtown.


I'd love to know what made y'all smile this weekend!  Leave me a comment and I'll pick someone to send some Starbucks to (because you KNOW a caffeinated beverage on a Monday will make you smile!).

HAPPY MONDAY, friends!!!

  19. We celebrated our daughter's 7th birthday on Saturday and she had her first "sleepover" this weekend. We created a little, because her bestie is Mommy's bestie, so her friend's mom was in the guest room just in case there was some bedtime anxiety. We definitely hit Starbucks the next morning!

  28. Well our weekend was not especially fun. Our youngest (5) fell on her back, lost consciousness and had to take her first ambulance ride. It was terrifying for all of us. But once the x rays came back and we were cleared to go home, she was chatting up a storm. She exclaimed, "I love my life!" and THAT was a happy moment. My brave, strong girl full of gratitude and hope and joy. She has had to face other ER visits with her food allergies and severe eczema so for her to be so optimistic is just a huge blessing.
