10 Fun Things From This Weekend

By Courtney 9 Comments

I got some beautiful, “just because” flowers from my better half, which doesn’t happen often!

We had a special visitor at the house on Friday evening, which the boys loved…

Cute little guy was hiding underneath a pillow on the back deck and scared the crap outta me when I moved it.

We enjoyed some s’mores with neighbors on National S’mores Day (who knew?!).

And then we enjoyed even more s’mores the following day at the boys’ daycare summer party.

Despite it being a crappy day on the weather front, Lucas still got to go swimming in the rain, and both boys had fun with some sparklers.

A summertime staple.

I found this Truly Rosé at the grocery store, and I am happy to report that they are QUITE delicious (if you’re into the seltzers and that sort of stuff).

I baked a batch of cookies which Jay declared may, in fact, have been some of the best I’ve ever made. He has, however, told me this more than once, so either I’m really upping my game or he just keeps forgetting how good the other batches were…

Either way, I used THIS RECIPE, doubled it, and did half chocolate chips and half Heath baking bits because…Heath bits are my jam. Best decision I made all weekend.

I took a little trip to HomeGoods and the new TJ Maxx that opened up last week right down the road from me (my wallet is screaming haaaaalp meee) and came home with these beauties…

And this gorgeous mirror for our bedroom, which I am dyyyyying to get hung up above our bed.

I’ve honestly, probably been looking for a mirror to put over our bed for well over a year now, and I’m reeeeeally hoping that this one will look as good as I’m envisioning it to be!

    Beautiful flowers! Also, those shoes are so cute! I'm loving peep toe booties for the summer/Fall!

    Random, but I noticed the Freeport Maine red t-shirt someone is wearing in the background of one of the photos. I live 15 minutes from Freeport! Have you ever been to Maine?

    So sweet Jay gives you flowers. My man handed me weeds and dead grass when he was gardening - which is weird cause we have asphalt all throughout our neighborhood! And that’s little froggy is cute! We thought we found a stranded dog last year with mangled fur and when we shaved it it ended up being a possum - which we adopted and named Henry!

    I'm inspired by those cookies and home decor finds. I love how it all comes back to family :)

    Just pinned these cookies. Must. Bake. Soon. I'm also in the market for something to go above our bed in our new place. We don't have a headboard, so I'm thinking of a piece of art?? A mirror could work too! Gah! Any ideas?? Our colors are navy, white and gold with little touches of rose if that helps! - Kaitlyn | www.poweredbysass.com | @poweredbysass
