Priority A1a after our trip was to get thank you notes written from my birthday.  I don’t care what anyone says, there is nothing better than a good, old fashioned, hand written thank you note!!  And I do subscribe to the “better late than never”  philosophy :-)

I call Elsa my toddler.  Tiring her out makes SUCH a huge difference in her sleeping through the night.  (“sleeping through the night”… something I thought was behind me six years ago…)

John has me out in the driveway every day photographing his “slam dunks”.  He puts on his football gloves, climbs up the back of the goal and then poses for his pic.  Boys are so … odd… for lack of a better word.

I didn’t fact check this, but found it inspirational nonetheless.

And, speaking of forty, many of my besties are celebrating this year.  We went out for bestie M last week… this one is SO appropriate for us.  Check, check, check and check.

I am sooooo happy it’s spring!!!  I love the look of long sleeved tops with shorts or sleeveless tops with white jeans.  There are approximately four days a year down South where it’s not too hot or too cold to pull off this look.

Have y’all seen this little monkey cheesing for his stamp???  I would die of cuteness every time I checked my mailbox.  And seriously, Queen, what is your secret to looking so fantastic at NINETY????

John’s lacrosse has taken us to new parts of Atlanta this season and we have a new little tradition.  We google the local bakery for wherever we’re headed and hit it up for an amazing breakfast.  This one was called Best Dang Bakery and it lived up to it’s name!!  It already makes me excited for Saturday!!

Look at this baby!!!!  She was so hot after her walk that she just laid down right in the river.

We had the humbling opportunity to see little Wyatt’s wish being granted from the Make a Wish Foundation.  It was emotional and moving and something that will stay with us for a long, long time.  He wished for a sports court in his backyard so that he could play any time with his brothers and friends.  <3

I’ve been working waaaaaaaay too much lately trying to catch up from our trip.  If only every work day, meeting and training came with a cup of gummy bears… the world would be a sweeter place.

Okay, I’m savoring every hysterical word in Celia Rivenbark’s modern etiquette book.  So much so that a piece of kale salad went down the wrong pipe at Whole Foods and caused quite a scene.  PS. Their kale salad, cherry vanilla creme and toffee crusted pretzel is my current fave lunch out.

It’s been SO gorgeous in the neighborhood lately.  We dined out on the patio at the club this week and it made me so beyond giddy for the pool to open, school to finish out and summer to finally get here!!!!

Ahhh, forget summer for now.  Can it just be the weekend already?!
xoxo
