Blame it on public school, but I will always have a serious love for the weekends and summer. Don't I work every weekend? Well, yes. Isn't summer in the Midwest sweltering and at times miserable? Mmmhmm. It doesn't matter, though. I look forward to every weekend and I treat every summer like it's pure magic.
This weekend we:
Ate donuts. (We actually eat donuts every weekend. It's a Saturday tradition.)
Went for coffee (and juice).
Had some ice cream... maybe more than once. ;) Hey, there are a lot of delicious places to choose from.
Met the SWEETEST blog reader who totally impressed Hope with her ice cream flinging (literally, in the air) skills. Hi, Grace!
We also went swimming, but I don't have any pictures of that since my arms were wrapped around a splishy-splashy baby.
This morning Mr. Postman brought me a really cool package. A very nice couple with an Etsy shop turned my Instagram photos into a poster of one of my Instagram photos. (Did I just explain that in the most confusing way possible?) Their shop is called Postrgram and I am just blown away by this. I normally wouldn't hang a 3'x3' poster of myself on the wall, but this one will be finding its way into my next studio space. It is so fun to look at! Proof:
This pictures cracks me up. They stood there forever and then went back to the same position when we got home later. There's a lot to see. :)
I hope your week is starting off in the best way!
Looks like an awesome week!
ReplyDeleteAnd this Postrgram? Sounds amazing! I must check it out now!
