7.12 Friday Faves (and a giveaway!)
Hi friends! How are you? Happy Friday to ya! What’s going on this weekend? I blocked off this morning so I could take the kiddos to the museum and bowling, tomorrow, we’re going out, and Sunday, we’re swimming with friends.
Monsoon season is here and it’s been such a welcome treat from the 110-degree scorching oven.
(This week’s reading + tubes for my Women’s Wellness test)
I’d love to hear what you have going on!
It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

Here are the top picks for June:

Hi Gina! I purchased the F59 this week based on your suggestion (along with a mask) and I can’t wait to try it out. This month I’m most excited about our new home. We’ve been living in India for 6 years and are moving back to Georgia. It feels great to be back home ❤️. Thanks for hosting the giveaway. What a treat it would be to win!

I am excited for a kid-free trip with my husband for the first time in many years. The kids are now 21, 18, and 17 and don’t want to travel with us, which suits all of us right now. I’m hoping that in a few years, once they’re (hopefully) out on their own, living independent lives, we’ll want to vacation together again.
I’m excited for my kids to have their annual jeep trip with my parents. I’m not excited about them leaving but I know they are making core memories and I’m thankful my parents are healthy enough to take trips like these.
We are excited to spend time with the kiddos at our local pool and my son rocking his first baseball tourney!
