Hello! TGIF! Man this has been a long week. Ivy has been a handful this week and has decided she doesn’t need a nap anymore (WTF), so I’m all like I can’t wait for the weekend so I can split this crazy girl’s parent duty with Daddy! WHEW! We are headed to our cabin again and weather says sunny and 70’s for Saturday and Sunday, yaaaaaa. We got some new patio chairs for around the fire pit so those will be in full force this weekend with these chilly nights upon us. Hope you have a great weekend and here are your Friday Finds!

Hello! This week FLEW by after Labor Day! First off, remembering 9/11 today… I still remember walking into my astronomy class my senior year of high school and seeing it on the screen. Where were you when it happened? Hats off to all of the people who served during that day and a moment of silence for all of the victims. Can’t believe it was 14 years ago.

Anyways! There’s so much to do this weekend! Sidewalk Arts Festival, German Fest, and John and I are ready to take our title back at the Bormann Olympics! It’s an outdoor games event that our friends put on that John and I have won for a few years! We didn’t play last year so we are ready to get in there and whoop some a**!

Have a good weekend!
