FRIDAY FAVORITES...MEMORIAL DAY LOVE

Happy long weekend! For those of you in the United States, it’s the Memorial Day weekend and unofficial kick off to Summer! For us, it’s our big Anniversary weekend! We were hoping for a getaway but the area we want to go to is completely booked due to the senior PGA tournament. So it’ll be a day to night date instead on Saturday and on our actual Sunday Anni, we’re going to see… 

 

Top Gun Maverick

Only been waiting for this sequel to Top Gun for 2 years since its release was postponed during the Pandemic. And essentially been waiting 36 years since the original was released! It’s in my top 10 of favorite movies! AND it’ll be our first time back to the theater since January of 2020! Give me all the concessions, lol! 

I think I should wear THIS TEE!!? 

I ordered it, should be here today!

2. Festive Attire

This TEE! 

And how about wearing This one all weekend long and right through Fourth of July! This was a favorite purchase from last year and now you can get it all over the place. I will be talking more about Americana tees in a couple weeks but I had to share this one because I realized I never got any pictures of me in it by myself last year. So cute!

Tee HERE // Shorts HERE //Earrings HERE // Flip Flops HERE // Hair Tie HERE

 

STELLA

And look at Stella and her red, white and blue! She wore this Cute Romper recently and saw her first train!

My Angel!!

3. TV

This is Us! 

This show has my heart and I bawled like a baby during the last episode of the series on Tuesday night! Did you watch it? The writers of the show are incredible and I have loved the Pearson family so much!

Stranger Things

I never thought I would like this show, Stranger Things, but I love it and I’m excited for season four which starts today!

4. Old Navy Tech & OkaB

As I mentioned in a post last week, the Old Navy Tech line really has my heart, I ended up getting the Joggers in three different colors and isn’t that green just so cool? In addition to the ribbed T-shirts, the Ribbed tanks are even better. They are cool, soft and you can tuck them in or just leave them on the outside, they are not cropped at all. AND look at my Cute Slides from OkaB. The are called the Bette. Stella chewed some pearls off, first shoes she's damaged.

Sooooo CUTE!

AND my dear friends at OkaB are having 25% off their website until June 2nd!! I own 3 pair and LOVE them all!! 

5. Misc. Fun

3 THINGS...THIS IS US EDITION

I am missing This Is Us! Don’t get me wrong, I love the Olympics but I get so excited for a Tuesday night cry fest. Who doesn’t need a good cry? The last 2 episodes had me crying the entire time! For those of you that aren’t into this show, this post may not mean much. However, for the 40 million that are, this show speaks to our hearts! #jackpearsonforever

Why? Why do we love this show so much? Is it because it is a program about happiness, family and good people? With much of what we see on television these days being about science fiction, crime dramas, or bad things, this show tells the story about a family who came together by chance, and yet it was meant to be. You know the kind of show that we "used to watch." The kind of show that is so rare to find these days.

According to Kristin Wynns, a clinical psychologist from North Carolina, 

"It is a refreshing reminder that for most of us, we have dysfunctional families, if not permanently, at least for a season. But even in the midst of dysfunction, there is love and growth."

Each episode gives us a deeper understanding of this family and the ties that bind them. It gives us meaning behind the universal truths regarding human relationships. As Kevin said to his nieces about his painting, “Life is full of color and we each get to come along and we add our own color to the painting”. All I can say is thank God for Doctor Katowski for bringing this incredible family together.   

In Honor of Kevin, Kate and Randall being called, “BIG THREE,” I thought it would be fun to do one of those "3 Things" Posts surrounding this show! If you’re a fan, feel free to play along and do this “This Is Us” 3 Things for your own. Feb. 27th can’t come fast enough for the next episode.
