Life Lately: Volume 117

Happy Friday! We have a fun weekend planned full of exciting events like an 80s-themed 40th birthday party, a monster truck show (for Luca) and an American Girl Doll salon appointment (for Amalia), and more, if you can believe it.

I don’t have anything too excited to report on this week. I just put my head down and banged out weeks’ worth of work that I was behind on for clients and for me. It felt really good! The one thing worth mentioning, however, is that I finished All The Colors of the Dark and cannot stop thinking about it. What an amazing book, you guys! I definitely recommend giving it a read.

Have a great weekend!
