Friday Things #571

1. Dominic made his First Communion last weekend! He was so excited, and seeing his little smile before and after was the sweetest thing 💙

2. So good (and I’d argue a good read for people of ANY age!) >> Why Making Friends in Your 40s Feels So Hard (And What To Do About It)

3. Our entire family loves soft serve, and this machine looks tempting, but I think it would take some of the fun of it away if we weren’t sitting outside trying to keep the cones from dripping everywhere in the summer heat 😅

4. I have never done journaling, but I saw someone share these journal prompts, and it sort of made me want to start >> 31 Inspiring May Journaling Prompts

5. Do you have a “car bag” that you keep stocked during the summer? I’ve seen so many people mention it, and I think it’s genius, but I have never implemented it; what do you keep in your car? The countdown is on to the end of the school year, and I’m ready for slower mornings and afternoons!

6. I love this article about Lego sets for adults… I have a great uncle in his 80s who builds the large, involved Lego sets. He shares them on Facebook, and I love seeing the new things he’s created!

7. Since we don’t have a team to root for in the NHL playoffs, I can’t wait to start watching the World Championships!

8. We started watching Mobland over the past week and oh my gosh, it’s so good! We’re currently all caught up.

9. Wishing all of the moms, grandmas, aunts, and mother figures a very Happy Mother’s Day 🌸 And if this is a hard day for you due to any number of reasons, I am thinking of you and wishing you a peaceful weekend 🩷

10. TGIF! These two are the sweetest together 😍
