Five Friday Favourites

Happy Friday, folks!! Here are a few random favourites from this week.


1- I've just printed and started organising A's flamingo pool party. The 'vision' (and I use that word very loftily) started with a $10 Chapter's gift card and this float.

Then I fell in love with this invitation

And now there are lollipops and a cookie cutter. 

I'm at a loss for pool party favours though. In the past couple years, I've tended to do just one bigger spend item- I'm kind of done with giving and getting all the tiny trinkets and trash as party favours that end up being SO much money. I've done buckets and pails one year and sunglasses the other year, both of which would have been perfect for this year's pool party. Any suggestions?

2- My mom is here to visit and help me out in my time of need. Yay for all the help, the cooking, the chats and the QT!





3- I finished this last Elin book in just three days--- another light summery read chockful of all the complex characters and interesting minutae that I find so very entertaining. #nojudgementzone 



4- And these little ladies just finished up gymnastics for the season! 






5- A belated Mother's Day present from my D is my new favourite. It's been a long time since I carried around a wallet, preferring a small cross body wallet/bag instead. I'm going bigger again and this is the first step… now to find a bag!

Hope everyone's weekend is amazing!! One's done with school and the other has only three days again.  We are in full on summer mode here beginning with an invite to a pool party with a Hollywood Glam dress code-- if anyone knows how to combine those two in an outfit, please help a girl out!!

  3. Loblaws had some beach towels that were a decent price, that could work for your party favour if they have any left!

  7. Loving your new KS wallet and how cute is the flamingo themed pool party! You can't go wrong with those fun floaties or those invitations! As far as party favors go, I like the idea of mini sunscreens, beachy hats, or some cut pool safe cups with lids <3

  14. Love summer birthdays! I say go for sunglasses again. Can you ever have too many of those? And I'm stumped for the Hollywood glam swim party. Swimsuit + feather boa and big sunglasses? ;)

  15. Maybe do the tiny version of the flamingo floats that you can put a drink in (like water bottles)? Love those invites! Hope your collarbone heals well, and I love that wallet!
