Five Things Making me Happy this Week
Some weeks hand you a big milestone. This one handed me a stack of small, genuinely good things , the kind that don’t make headlines but make a life. Here’s what’s got me smiling as I write this.
Summer for a Week
This is the one that actually matters. Summer is here for a full week, and the house already sounds different. It’s louder, better, a little more chaotic in the good way. Scout hasn’t left her side. I keep catching myself just watching her do ordinary things, eat cereal, chase Scout around the garden,and thinking, this is the whole point of this chapter. I’m not getting a single thing done and I could not care less.
My Upcoming Interview with Jeffrey Dungan
If you’ve been around here a while, you already know: I’m a devoted Jeffrey Dungan fan. So when he agreed to sit down with me to talk about his new book, The Soulful House, I may have done a small happy dance in my kitchen. Be here Tuesday for that!!
Camila Mcconaughey’s Viral Avocado Bread
I am not a woman who chases viral recipes, but this one got me. Camila Mcconaughey’s avocado bread has been all over my feed, and I finally made it this week. It’s the kind of recipe that looks effortless and healthy and actually is. If you’ve been seeing it everywhere too, consider this your permission to stop scrolling past it and just make the thing.
Outfits of the Week
Leave it to Zara to find the one piece that solves the August-into-September problem every single year. If you loved the Veronica Beard Kiki Eyelet Jacket but hated the price you will love these two price-friendly olive eyelet embroidered pieces from Zara that you can wear now or wear later in the fall.
Mel Robbins Interview with Longevity Expert Dr. Joseph Coughlin
That’s the week, an interview I’ve been looking forward to for months, a granddaughter who makes the house feel full, a recipe worth the hype, an outfit that’ll earn its keep for two seasons, and a little more clarity on how to live well for a long time. Not a bad list….
What’s making you happy this week?
Now let’s pop over and visit Mary Ann and Annie for their Sunday faves!
Louisa said to me “You are my best friend, Gramma.” So I know the joy you are experiencing with Summer right now. You reminded me to go to Zara while I’m in Paris. Your outfit creations are the best.
