After I post this week’s edition of Solty Friday’s, I’m unplugging for the weekend and I’m pretty excited about it.  I have a little bit of FOMO, but I know mentally I could use a refresh and a mini getaway with no social media might be just what I need.  So enjoy this week’s favorite things and updates, and I’ll catch you guys next week (hopefully feeling more creative!) 

> It was just released that HBOMax is releasing a special West Wing episode next week and we are so.excited.  We love this classic show from the late 1990’s/early 2000’s.  Can’t wait for the special edition episode with appearances from former First Lady Michelle Obama and Lin Manual Miranda.  Eeek!

> One of the best things to come out of the current public health emergency is the emergence of wine delivery.  In case you missed my blog post this week, I’m sharing a discount for my followers when they sign-up for Winc’s Wine Club. Read more here. 

> L’s birthday is coming up and we bought her a big girl bike! How is she that old?! I also just picked up this cute smoothie playset from Kid Kraft.  I have a few smaller things to get her still, but what the girl really needs is clothes! 

> One of my Instagram friends started a children’s line of clothing a few months ago.  I shared about this brand in my Brand Spotlight series (here) and the dress L is wearing in the cover photo is from their fall line.  It’s seriously the CUTEST! We get so many compliments every time we wear it.  And the quality is so good.  Definitely check out Shop Maddie and Connor if you have littles! 

> A blogger I follow linked this article about Mom Guilt on on her blog.  I think mom guilt is something we all feel and understand, and this article very much reminded me that it’s okay to take time for myself.  

And with that, I will leave you all to enjoy the weekend! 

Slainte,
