We have so much to be grateful for this week. Sharing some of the reasons we’re smiling, in the hope that it sprinkles a little joy your way, too!

1. Grey’s last week of Kindergarten!

I cannot believe we have a Kindergarten graduate. It’s one of those moments in parenting where I actually felt time stop for just a second and whisper, be present, pay attention, it’s going to start going by too quickly. Not that it hasn’t already 😭. So grateful for this kind, thoughtful, hilarious, sweet, loving human. He is our greatest gift!

2. Jon surgery update

This guy had another surgery this week to try to save his fingers (six months after his accident with the hedge trimmer 😩) and may have another one to go. The infection has spread to his bone, and they are trying another round of treatment before completely amputating the ring finger. Jon has been taking each setback in stride, and truly handling all of it like a champ. One day post-op and surprising this cutie at school for lunch!

3. Smoothie season

In the cooler months, I try to follow the Ayurvedic principles and eat something warm and nourishing for breakfast…but lately, I’ve been living for a great smoothie. It’s also such an awesome way to sneak in a TON of boosters and know you are starting the morning off both hydrated, and packed with your daily quota of vitamins + minerals! These hand-blown straws have been a joy jolt for sure 🌸.

4. Snake spotting at our favorite park

I have seen three different types of snakes at this park and while I know that might not spark joy for some 😅, I have always adored them! So far we’ve seen a few kinds of water snakes, a ring neck snake, and last summer, I saved a baby copperhead. Teaching Grey to admire them safely from a distance, and show respect to all creatures.

5. Rainbow views 🌈

For Mother’s Day, Jon generously gifted me a new pair of sunglasses, and I loved them at first glance. But the rainbow aviators weren’t even the most special part. He customized them to have little notes of things he’s proud of me for 😭: Sunday Scrolls is written on the sides, along with Best Mom, and Best Wife. How the heck do I top that for Father’s Day?! Speaking of Scrolls – we can’t wait to see you Sunday. Have a phenomenal weekend!
