Flashback Friday: exactly one year ago- Henry's first swimming class!Happy Friday! This week has been so much fun. We had house guests for a few days and got to enjoy some delicious food with great company, and I'm still on cloud 9 from having so much hang out time. This weekend should be great too, full of family time and The Swellers show on Sunday.
I also wanted to take a moment and tell you guys how much we are loving our Mame candles. The girls sent Hank and I a couple to try out and we've really been enjoying them. Right now I have the Farmer's Market scent burning in our kitchen. They're soy candles, so they burn cleaner and last longer, which is always a plus. I am not usually a candle person but these scents are so, so great and don't smell "fake" at all- they're really lovely. And better yet, they are made locally in Arizona.
And speaking of Arizona, if you are in the valley, I'd love for you to stop by and say hello next Tuesday, at a little Madewell event I'm hosting at Scottsdale Fashion Square. I'm pretty flattered they would ask me to do something like this- I'm definitely not the most fashionable person out there, but I am looking forward to picking out some of my favorite looks and hopefully meeting some readers, too! There will be delicious sweets and really great clothes at a discount for any of you who want to shop, but I would really love to meet you either way! Let me know if you're planning on stopping by- I think it's going to be a really fun evening and I'm definitely looking forward to it.
I hope your week has been a good one too. xo
