We’re back from vacation and settling back into a routine here. My brain feels like it did an entire reset in the best way. The boys and I flew home on Tuesday evening and Mike and Teddy drove back on Wednesday so we really hit the ground running getting everything unpacked, reorganized, and settled.
I have a bunch of links this week since I took some time off from posting… let’s dive in!
ONE // Move Over Pickleball and Padel: Guests Are Playing Mah Jongg at Posh Resorts
Loved reading this post about how hotels are incorporating mahjong into their programming now! I would love to see more hotels adopting this– and I know my friends would too. (We are all itching to go on a girls trip to needlepoint and play mahjong all day in a pretty location!!)
TWO // “Quilted” Chappy Wrap
Chappy Wraps continue to be our favorite household blankets. They’re cozy and soft and get better with every wash. The quilted style on this one is so chic. I have a light blue version, but the bolder navy is really speaking to me.
THREE // Kids’ Water Inflatables on Sale
My boys have been loving all things water this summer. We’re spending so much time outside and these inflatables seem like an easy way to add even more fun to the backyard. (25% off right now with code “splash”!)
FOUR // High Schooler Spends 600+ Hours Painting Portraits of Classmates
Molly Schafer spent 600+ hours during her senior of high school secretly painting portraits of friends she had lost touch with. And then she surprised them with the portraits at the end of the year. This story brought true tears to my eyes. What a wonderful display of friendship and love and a reminder to treat everyone with kindness.
FIVE // Minnow x Over the Moon
I do not need another bathing suit… I do not need another bathing suit… My children do not need another bathing suit… but if we/they did…. It would be one of these Minnow x Over the Moon floral suits. OBSESSED.
SIX // Veronica Beard’s Nantucket Home
NO NOTES on the design of Veronica Beard’s Nantucket home. It’s stunning and fits so well with the laid back vibe of the island.
SEVEN // Tin Can Kids
I got an ad for this somewhere and thought it was genius. An old school landline inspired (it’s connected to wifi to make the calls!) phone. This is one of the smartest things I’ve ever seen, honestly. Getting a ~phone~ in my room (one of the see through ones, of course) was so thrilling. It’s a fun way to let your kids connect with friends and family in a screen-free way without any of the stress.
