Yay! It’s Friday! It’s going to be a nice, sunny hot weekend here in KC. We have absolutely nothing planned except relaxing, and I am pumped!

As I’m writing this from the balcony of my hotel room, that leads me to my first favorite…

Every year, our company takes a few days down at the lake – and while I stay up waaaaaay past my normal bedtime, it’s always one of my favorite things each year. I mean – who can argue that this view isn’t nice during a workday???

It’s day lily season! I’ve been so happy with how many blooms these newly planted day lilies have produced just this year. They must be liking their new spot in our garden path. I blogged about our new garden path earlier this week. If you missed that post, make sure you go back and check out all of the beautiful flowers we used in this new garden bed HERE.

Time with these two babies is my ABSOLUTE favorite of all time. And walks with them just bring me so much joy. Look at those two smiling faces – both human and puppy alike. Ah! I just love them so much.

I found myself going back to the pantry every couple of hours and eating a couple more of these throughout each day….until they totally disappeared. Addictive. Delicious. And they partially count as healthy, right? I mean, there is an almond inside all of that chocolate-y goodness. Definitely a favorite.

My sweet, sweet aunt sent Harrison a beautiful gift of so many classic books. Perfect timing, too, because I was just starting to feel like we needed some new reading material! And this little man was pumped to get his hands on some new books!

So very many things to be thankful for this week, and always. Wishing you all a blessed weekend! I am off to our final day of meetings at the Lake, and then headed back to KC to my boys and puppy girl!
