Friday Things #581

1. Everyone wanted in on Saturday pancakes last weekend! Sometimes I have one helper, but this time everyone wanted a turn :)
2. Joseph has really been enjoying tennis this summer and got to play his very first match last week, and he loved it! Itโs so fun to see them discover new things that they enjoy.
3. Such an amazing video of a puzzle being made!
4. Speaking of puzzles, โNantucket Breezeโ is my next one :)
5. From a recent James Clear newsletter:

โBe forgiving with your past self. Whatโs done is done. Take the lessons with you and release the guilt.
Be strict with your present self. Win the moment in front of you right now.
Be flexible with your future self. There are many paths to success. You donโt need life to be a certain way to live well.โ
6. How gorgeous are Icelandโs colorful buildings?!
7. Good tips for making your phone easier to resist picking up >> Dumb Down Your Phone the Smart Way
8. The boys have started asking how much longer until college football starts and I canโt believe itโs only a few short weeks away!
9. A couple of nights ago, we had on a local channel and right before I was about to head upstairs to bed, a Seinfeld rerun came on and I got sucked in. Itโs been years since Iโve watched, but it remains always, always funnyโฆ one of my all-time favorites!
10. TGIF!ย Love these two!




I, too, like your boys cannot wait for college football season to begin! Your children are so adorable and as a mother myself, I know how precious time is with them. So happy to see them healthy and happy.
And Seinfeld, I absolutely love the show. In fact, own the complete DVD series; it never fails to make me laugh too.
p.s. I so appreciate your sharing of the James Clear newsletter.
Iโm glad to see the kids enjoying themselves. Enjoy the rest of the summer with your beautiful family and dogs too!๐ถ๐๐๐พ
Fun times in the kitchen making pancakes! Iceland sure does have some stunning architecture donโt they?
I am super excited for football season to begin again. I follow both college and pro. Nebraska and KC!!!
Such cute pictures of your kiddos and pups!
Cannot believe how grow up the kids are getting. ย Looks like everyone has been having a good summer ๐
