Happy Friday! Here are some of my favorite things from this week.
This book I started (and finished) in the same day. So good!
This book I started (and finished) in the same day. So good!
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
is about a family living in Seattle. The story is told from the
perspective of Bee, a very intellectual only child who is just finishing
middle school and is about to head to the East Coast for boarding
school. Her dad is a top executive for Microsoft and her mother
(Bernadette) is a bit of a recluse. I don't want to give too much away
but I will say that things start to get pretty weird pretty fast while
the family plans a trip to Antarctica as a reward for Bee's successes.
You learn about tensions between Bernadette and the other moms at Bee's
school through letters. I can't say that I have ever read a book written
in this format but it gives you some insight into things you wouldn't
otherwise know. It made it really easy to read and at one point I
actually burst out laughing.
I think that I have
mentioned before that I have a terrible habit of starting a book and
never finishing it. I enjoy reading but I am less of a "book-a-day" girl
and more of a
"read-30-pages-on-and-off-for-a-while-and-then-start-something-else"
kind of girl. But this book was just too good to put down.
These impatiens I planted with my husband and sister-in-law last weekend.
They may not look like much yet, but in a few weeks they will be flourishing!
This fashion print that is the perfect 'Thank You' gift for my sister-in-law.
I just need to find the perfect frame.
This cute card for my cousin's upcoming baby shower.
This delicious bottle of [super cheap] wine.
(I found it at Trader Joe's and I think it was under $6!)
What were some good things about your week?
Cheers to a sunny weekend ahead.
XO, Bev
