Hi friends! The weekend is here and we’re officially into summer! The kids had an amazing school year, but we’re definitely all ready for a break (especially from the early mornings and homework). This weekend is Liv’s First Communion, new Fit Team workouts go out on Sunday, and we’re going to spend lots of time in the pool. I hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend ahead!
For now, it’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite things 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!
Friday Faves
Life:
We had some friends over to celebrate the end of school and it was the perfect evening.
Here’s the menu:
– Artichoke dip and crackers

– A giant thing of fruit (jicama, mango, cucumber, pineapple) and chamoy that Ana brought
– Always the cheese board
(I tried making little rivers this time instead of piles and like how it turned out)
– Steak with chimmichurri sauce
– Caesar salad with homemade sourdough croutons (this is the dressing)
– Grilled salmon
– Mashed sweet potatos
– Sangria and margaritas
– and for dessert, chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting and the most gorgeous Persian love cakes from Agave Pantry
The kids swam for hours (our babysitter is a lifeguard and came over to keep an extra set of eyes on the pool), we got to catch up with some of our closest friends, and it was a blast.
The kids’ picnic setup from Wicked Picnic:
Health, fitness, + good eats:
