Hiiii! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? P is playing soccer twice and basketball twice, Liv and I are watching a musical, having lunch with friends, and looking forward to some pool time at home.
No concept of personal space:
P and I spent a whole day swimming this week and it was everything. We learned that Lola loves being pushed around the pool on the raft,
We ate gluten-free Cheeze-Its and popsicles, played 90s country music, played fetch with Maisey, played tons of water games (a ridiculous one where she dunks me when I don’t know what color she has in mind), and floated on pool loungers. The life.
I hope you have the best summer too!
It’s time for the weekly Friday Favorites roundup! Here I share some of my favorite finds of the week and around the internet. I always love hearing about your favorites too, so please share what you like in the comments section below.
6.26 Friday Favorites
Fashion, beauty, coincidence:
Date night with the pilot. He’s been away a lot over the past two weeks, so I was happy we were able to sneak into Flying V for dinner and cocktails one evening.
We haven’t been there in ages and the restaurant has been completely renovated. It’s bright and modern and has that Scottsdale vibe in the best way. The food was fantastic as always.
(French fries, guacamole, shrimp cocktail, prickly pear margaritas. I ordered the chicken entree and he had the tuna; everything was delicious)
I’m sending this beauty back to Vivrelle but I’m looking forward to something new! They also gave me a special discount code to share with you – use GINAHARNEY403 for 40% off your first three months. This is the best deal I’ve ever seen. You’ll love it!
Always that Farm Rio 😉
(I love this print and style, but be careful, this dress runs really weird and small. I’m a proud member of the IBTC and wear a true size S and I couldn’t believe the top part.)
Father’s Day celebration! I’m so glad our favorite guy was in town and we could celebrate.
We ate brunch at Snooze,
and then the family came over for a swim and dinner. I smoked three types of meat on the Traeger: two giant roasts, two briskets (from ButcherBox) and four packs of chicken legs.
Some meat!
I made a Caesar salad with homemade dressing and homemade GF croutons,
some artichoke dip, chips, salsa, Madre Calabacitas, cheese potatoes, my stepmother brought this fruit plate,
and we had popsicles, gf brownies with pb frosting and peach pie for dessert. 🙂 It was the perfect way to celebrate the amazing boys in our family!
Read, watch, listen:
I’m listening to this right now and it’s captivating. I had no idea that she had such a fascinating life (in good ways, but unfortunately also in some devastating ways) and started acting when she was just a few months old.
I started watching this with Livand although it’s a bit slow, it’s so much fun to see so many of the places we saw in Kyoto. (I’ll be posting my last two Japan recaps next week! It took me forever to write them because I’m still suffering from severe Japression.)
Check out this week’s podcast episode with my friend Ashley here! If you’ve had thyroid or other hormone issues and still don’t feel like yourself, this is a must-try.
What childhood lessons can you never give up?
Fitness, health and good food:
I won’t post the picture because it’s terrible, but This recipe was surprisingly delicious. (I had salmon, pesto sauce, and pasta on hand and thought, why not.) The kids loved it, and so did Liv’s girlfriend (she lives in the neighborhood and sometimes comes over for dinner).
Our friends at GoMacro sent us some of their new squares to try out. They are SO good. Not as sweet as the original bars, but the taste is great and the ingredients are of the same quality. I have a GoMacro bar almost every day (P too!) and it’s fun to switch up the flavors.
