 On Fridays I share things that made me happy from the week - a photo, a song, a quote, a beauty product, a recipe, a pair of cute shoes, etc. If it's a product, sometimes it's something I actually own and sometimes something I just saw online that gave me a smile. Sometimes it's serious and sometimes it's silly. I suppose I believe that God is in the simple details of life and yes, I can even find Him in a tube of lipstick.

Hi, Friends. I'm back! We had a great time in the Outer Banks sharing the week with our people and celebrating my sweet in-laws' anniversary. We missed our Kyle and some other nieces and nephews who are all out there adulting in the real world, but were happy for those who could make it to the beach. The weather wasn't great, but we got a few days of sunshine and it was so much fun to have all of the generations together.

Hello. Hope all of you had a great week. Drew came home from college this week which was both happy and sad because it means the baseball season is over. His team fought really hard in the first round of the playoffs - playing all three games of a three-game series but unfortunately lost two out of three. It was a fun season and we had a blast traveling around Virginia to cheer on such a great group of boys. Here are some favorites from the week.

Hello and Happy Friday. The baseball has been delivering lots of fun this week. The Texas Longhorns swept the Aggies last weekend which was particularly delightful. Today we're off to the first game of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference playoffs to watch Drew and his team, so I gotta hustle. Here are my favorites from the week.

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. We had a great time at Lake Anna with my dad, Kyle and Drew. Unfortunately, we missed Joe who is crazy busy with his sports broadcasting gigs during the Spring. It's becoming more and more of a rare event to have all of us together, but we are super proud of the boys' hard work in their careers so we take what we can get.
