A quick little update & my favourite reads from the week.

Happy Friday my friends! How was your week? We had a pretty busy one around here, seemingly filled to the brim with swim lessons, gardening, a few beautiful runs outside, bike rides, paddle boarding, dance classes, and lots of visits with friends. Honestly, it was so wonderful! This weekend we’ve got big plans to finally celebrate Carson’s birthday at the Monster Jam show in the city (he turned 11 back in April and while we did a special dinner out and birthday cake, we’re only getting around the the “party” part now). Brady’s also hoping to get the sprinklers installed in all of the garden areas ASAP so that I can start covering them all with mulch, which will make everything look so much more finished (and hopefully cut down on all the weeding C and I have been working on lately). Do you have any fun plans for the weekend ahead?
