Five Finds Friday (jewelry, ridiculous emails & oranges)

It’s Friday – hooray!  This weekend I have a fun date with my younger son and the kids have some teenage events happening and it’s a funny mix of a house we live in lately, floating between grown and not.

funny

Lately I get more and more emails like this:

They’re so ludicrous they make me laugh.

Surprisingly, this guy is really a hidden gem!

This is no joke.

Except.

It is.

fashionable

I think I’m going to do a Noonday online trunk show in February – because they have so much new pretty stuff.

So save your pennies and don’t order any Noonday stuff until February – alright?

Because look at these earrings …..

And this bracelet.

Don’t worry – I’ll for sure let you know when it’s happening.

flavorful

Here’s something delicious . . . .

dried oranges from Trader Joe’s.

For real – they are SO good.

faithful

Here’s a short list of what I am grateful for recently:

Good books to read.
Sons who load the dishwasher in the evening.
The hope of a new kitchen sink and a generous offer from a gentleman at my church to install said sink.
Sunshine.
Dogs who like to sleep at my feet.
A cozy home.
Generous humans.
Dear and thoughtful friends.
Surprise packages in the mail.
Laughter.

feels

I love that my fifteen year old still very much wants me to say goodnight.  To tuck her in.  To sit by her bed for a little while and talk or sit quietly.

Some nights, all I do is show up.  After a long day.  A day with attitudes and frustrations, short tempers and quick fuses.

But, for now, that seems to be enough.
