Happy happy SATURDAY, friends!

I’m always so happy to see you here over the weekend!
We had Senior Night last night at the McKinney Boyd game (on the heels of Lovejoy playing Thursday night), so on this Saturday morning…

…we are taking things realllllly slow around here.
I hope whatever YOU are doing this weekend brings you JOY.
Thank you so much for stopping by! xx

I’ve mentioned this before, but McKinney is famous for the hot air balloons that fly over quite frequently. Some days, you even see multiple in the sky at once.
Last week, I set out to walk the dog and saw this one…

…right at the end of my street. I have probably seen hundreds of hot air balloons in the 20 years I’ve lived in McKinney, and they bring me joy EVERY SINGLE TIME! Would you ever go up in one? I would not, but I certainly love to see them!

I have two breakfast bites for your weekend that are both very popular here in blog world, very delicious, and very easy too.
If you’re looking for something savory on this Saturday, whip up my…

Actually, you should just make both 🙂 .

…mug this week and it came home with me. It just makes me happy.

Every morning, I go out and water whatever plants I happen to have on my balcony. Over the years, I have purchased the world’s least expensive watering tins because…it’s just a watering tin. I’ll buy a plastic one that is super cheap, use it a bit and then when it starts to leak all over the place and/or break, I’ll replace it. And repeat. I have always wanted a Haw’s watering tin from England and finally, in August, after replacing my crappy one for the millionth time, I ordered one…

They’re pretty hard to find (they’re always out of stock), but I found one on Williams-Sonoma’s site. It took six weeks to arrive, but it came this week, and I am so in love!

I bought the “Haws Green” color because if I was going to do it, I wanted to do it right. You just have no idea how happy one watering tin has made me each day. If you are an outside person like me and use a watering tin each day, look up Haws. They’re really quite special.

I have been watching A LOT of tumbling…

…Mades has been working on her own tumbling skills and the two of us have spent a lot of time together in the gym. She started taking tumbling lessons in March and even took them each week on Nantucket too.

She’s been living her life upside down 😉 .
On Sunday, all of her worlds collided and after church, she had back to back lessons. She worked so hard and when she got home, she asked if she could reward herself by…

…jumping in the pool to cool down with her clothes on. Who am I to deny such fun? 😉


Because of course I found a PUMPKIN CLAW CLIP.
No one is surprised by that.
And that’s a little bonus Saturday blog fun.
