Have a lovely weekend

Happy Friday, friends! What are you doing this weekend? It’s a big weekend for me. Tomorrow is my sister‘s college graduation, and I can’t wait to see her walk across the stage; if there is such a thing, I think I suffer from a severe case of Big Sister Pride. Then on Sunday, I’ll be going to see my mom sing in our church choir for Mother’s Day. Lots of good quality family time coming up, which is my absolute favorite thing in the world. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and here are my favorite finds from the wonderful Web…
