Welcome to the weekend, my buddies! This whole week has been a whirlwind and the weekend goes to be each bit as full for us. My older boys satisfied me to do the Barbenheimer factor with them, so we’ll be watching a double function of the Barbie film and Oppenheimer tonight. I’ll let you realize what I consider all of it subsequent week.
Sean and I noticed Don McLean in live performance final evening for his Fiftieth-anniversary tour of American Pie. I truthfully wasn’t certain what to anticipate, as I’ve by no means considered him as a giant performer, however wow. His musicians have been unbelievable and his voice?? 77 years outdated and he nonetheless gave me chills – it was a bit paying homage to Johnny Money a number of instances. (And final however positively not least, mad props to the person who managed to make his American Pie finale final nearly 20 minutes and stored the group going the whole time.)

Creamy smooth ice cream bursting with buttery popcorn flavor? Is that too loopy an concept? Completely not. One style is all it can take to make a believer out of you too.
What I’m CRAVING: Sushi. ALL the sushi. Are you able to be hooked on sushi? If that’s the case, my hand is raised over right here. I didn’t even like sushi when Sean and I have been first married and it’s solely been within the final 5 or so years that I actually have loved it. Now? I’m hopeless. If I’m given a selection, it’s my first, final, and solely selection for lunch or dinner out. In the meantime, it’s about time to make some sushi bowls at home.
My FAVORITE THING this week is my salad spinner. I’ve had mine for over 10 years now and I exploit it a number of instances every week. I balked at shopping for one for years earlier than I lastly did so and man, what a salad-making game-changer it has been. In the event you’ve ever thought of one? You’ll most likely use it as a lot as I do and find it irresistible!

Thanks for the entire suggestions! I’m glad I pushed by the preliminary oh-so-very-annoying Cameron introduction. The characters completely develop on you and sure, it seems that an octopus may be lovable.
What I’m LISTENING to: My Savior by Carrie Underwood. This album is completely lovely. I like hymns a lot and Carrie did an incredible job with the songs right here. The musical preparations are just a bit bit totally different and the songs really feel each acquainted and new. This one goes to be in my early morning playlist for a very long time.
“Allow us to, due to this fact, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we could receive mercy and discover grace to assist in time of want.” – Hebrews 4:16 KJ21
