Happy Friday! This was one of those weeks where I just don't have much to say - just a normal week spent working and enjoying time outside while I still can. I'm trying hard to get a little more control over my life - getting a little more ahead on blog posts and ideas, getting better at going to bed on time, and just feeling a little less scattered and a little more organized overall. Kind of like that "back to school" energy, but for my entire life! So I'm hoping that I can spend some time this weekend just getting organized, physically and mentally.

I'm so excited, because I'm finally going to watch the Barbie movie tonight! I feel like I've been waiting so long for it to come to streaming, and it's finally here. Other than that, I have an extremely low key weekend planned. Last weekend I went to the Family House Polo Match (SO much fun!) and had a few people over for a Barbie themed bonfire (after they pushed the streaming date back a weekend and I had to pivot from my patio movie plans) with the most delicious Milkbar red velvet cake with cheesecake icing. It was all very fun but also tiring! So this weekend will be much more chill.

I took today off work as a birthday treat to myself, so my weekend started a little bit early. This week has been a bit of a roller coaster for me - we had to say goodbye to our cat Simba on Monday, but I also celebrated by 35th birthday yesterday. So it's just kind of been a lot, and a real mix of happy and sad. I'm just trying to focus on taking it one day at a time right now.

This week has been... a lot. I know it sounds like I'm hinting at things and not sharing, but it was one of those weeks where so many small things happened one after the other, and they just kept adding up! I am extremely glad that this is a long weekend, and I'm very much looking forward to the extra day off to just try to recover a little bit... both my sanity, and my sleep. But - even with everything going on, I did manage to squeeze a little bit of fun into this week - which I'll share about in the favorites!

I was pretty convinced that it was Friday on Thursday this week, if that gives you any indication of my week! It really wasn't that bad, just one of those weeks that felt like it dragged a little bit. Which is good, in a way, since I'm still in disbelief that it's actually the end of August. But I've been trying to soak in the slowness where I can, and try really hard not to rush things. Patience is not my strong suit, but I'm trying.

This week has felt both long and short at the same time. I think it's because it's already mid-August, and feels like time in flying. Every time I go outside I'm reminded that fall is just around the corner - I can hear the crickets so loudly when I'm on my patio! I've said this before, but I'm really not ready - I'm trying to get in every second of outside time that I can.

Happy Friday! This week has felt both extremely long and extremely short at the same time - I always feel a little bit frazzled after coming back from a trip. I'm definitely looking forward to being home for a bit and not having any more travel in my immediate future - I love traveling, but it's also exhausting sometimes. Anyway - on to this week's favorites!

Happy Friday! Today is not only Friday, but also my dad's birthday - so it's an extra special Friday around these parts. This week has actually been super busy for me, and I've barely been online - so this week's favorites post is a little bit shorter than usual. It should be back to normal next week. On to the few favorites I do have.

I have really just had a WEEK. I am very much crossing my fingers for a low-key weekend, and hoping to be able to relax and get a little bit ahead on blogging - I have really been running on fumes and leaving things until the very last second. With that in mind, this week's favorites are shorter than usual! I haven't been able to do a ton of Internet scrolling this week.
