the weekend ahead + friday favorites

It’s been a rough, emotional week for me and a challenging one with the baby. His napping and sleeping schedule is all out of whack. That’s why I’m so relieved that the weekend is finally here. Do you have any fun plans?

My mother-in-law is in town, so it won’t exactly be a relaxing one for us, but we’ll have a good time hanging out as a family. I imagine we’ll eat, shop, play games and take turns trying to amuse the baby. And as long as Levi doesn’t sleep through his swim lesson like he did last Sunday, she’ll be able to watch him splash around in the baby pool!

Here are some links that caught my eye this week:

Thank you so much to Ashley for including me as a blogger crush in her Q&A on Old Simple Song! The feeling is mutual, friend!

And thanks to all of you for leaving such honest and compassionate comments these past couple of days. I love the community that’s growing here.
