Happy Friday from MCKINNEY!
I warned you.
It’s going to be travel whiplash as we kick off summer.
Andrew, Smith, Ashby, and Mades are on Nantucket, but I came back yesterday for Kensington’s LAST cheer camp!
Today is the final day of camp, and I for sure wanted to be there for the competition portion and to bring her home.
Thank YOU for being here with me wherever I am.
As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika and wishing you a HAPPY WEEKEND!
Because I’m in McKinney right now, that means…
…these three are my current favorite things 🙂 .
Let’s be real, they saw me on Monday and then they saw me again on Thursday, so we weren’t separated that long, but goodness, we were excited to see each other.
Early mornings on Nantucket are my very very favorite.
Smith and I had our first breakfast of the season together. Same breakfast, same bench…same happy feels every single time we do it. After we eat, we always go off and explore something. This time, we went to see what was happening in the marina. We walked and talked about 20 minutes before heading home. Best twenty minutes of my day 🙂 .
Clearly…
…one could say that my LEGGINGS + JACKET + RED SOX HATS are faves of mine this week…
…on repeat 🙂 .
Another favorite would be that we unpacked everything and made a trip to the dump to recycle all of those boxes 😉 .
WHITE JEANS + TANK + SANDALS for the win.
You guys…
…MY SANDALS are on major major sale right now! This is my second pair of JCrew sandals, and the first pair lasted me years. They are crazy comfy (and come in other colors!).
Some around town is always a favorite of mine…
My happy place.
Speaking of happy…
I have received so many DMs about…
…my SUMMERY PHONE CASE and POPSOCKET 🙂 .
And finally…
…just in time for summer, I’m sharing 28 SUMMERY STRAWBERRY RECIPES!
From sweet to savory and even a cocktail too, I have all the deliciousness HERE.
Alrighty friends, TOMORROW is my last blog post of the month! Tomorrow, I’m kicking off SUMMER SATURDAYS {2026!}, and it will contain a giveaway, so make sure you stop on by.
I’m off to watch my favorite cheerleader perform at camp. Thank YOU for being here with me today. I’m always so grateful. Happy happy start to your weekend. I’ll see you TOMORROW! xx

I am trying to be patient with strawberries… I can’t wait to get some!!! One of our kiddos has already asked if I am making jam….OF COURSE!!! Hey mom could you make strawberry rhubarb jam? It’s my favorite! Other one that’s a hit strawberry blueberry….my mom and I were talking about it and my step dad who isn’t a big fan of blueberries even like a this one. I also did strawberry raspberry!
Have a great weekend and last cheer camp (well this one) for Miss K!!

Living vicariously through your Nantucket summers. 🙂 Dying to know about the whiplash!! Would love a post about how to live life in two places / if you feel like you get enough time in each place / adjusting kids / etc.
Mix and Match Mama says
I will jot that idea down 🙂
