No! Happy Friday! What’s happening this weekend? UP has football doubleheaders and basketball doubleheaders, Liv and I see music and lunch with friends, and we look forward to swimming time at home.
There is no concept of personal space:
P and I spent the whole day swimming this week and it was everything. We learned that Lola likes to be pushed around the lake on a raft,
we ate Cheeze-Its and gluten-free popsicles, blasted 90s country music, played fetch with Maisey, lots of water games (the funniest one where he misled me when I didn’t know what color he was in his mind), and floated around the pool lounges. I liiiiiiife.
I hope you have the best summer ever, too!
It’s time to round up the weekly Faves! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your favorites, too, so please shout out your favorite in the comments section below.
6.26 Friday Faves
Fashion, beauty, random:
Date night with the pilot. He had traveled a ton the previous two weeks, so I was excited that we could skip one evening for dinner and cocktails at the Flying V.
We haven’t been there in forever and they completely renovated the restaurant. It’s bright and modern, and gives off Scottsdale vibes at their best. The food was amazing as always.
(chips, guacamole, shrimp cocktail, prickly pear margaritas. I ordered chicken to go and it had tuna; everything was delicious)
We’re sending this beauty to Vivrelle but we’re looking forward to something new! They gave me a special discount code to share with you, too – use GINAHARNEY403 for 40% off your first three months. This is the best I’ve seen them offer. You will love it!
Always Farm Rio 😉
(I love this print and style but the fit of this dress is weird and small. I’m a proud IBTC member and I’m a true size small and can’t fit the top)
Father’s Day Celebration! I’m so glad our beloved boy was in town and we could celebrate.
We had lunch at Snooze,
then their family came for swimming and dinner. I smoked three types of meat on the Traeger: chuck giant roasts, two briskets (from ButcherBox), and four packs of chicken thighs.
One of the meat!
I made a caesar salad with homemade dressing and homemade gf croutons,
artichoke dip, set chips, salsa, madre brought calabacitas, cheesy potatoes, my stepmom brought this fruit plate,
and we had popsicles, gf brownies with pb frosting, and peach cake for dessert. 🙂 It was the perfect way to celebrate the amazing boys in our family!
Read, watch, listen:
Listening to this right now is also RIVETING. I didn’t know he had such an interesting life (in good ways, and unfortunately in bad ways, too) and started acting at just months old.
I started watching this with Liv, and while it’s slow, it’s great to see a lot of the places we saw in Kyoto. (I have my last two Japanese books going live next week! It took me forever to write them because I’m still suffering from severe Japression.)
Check out this week’s podcast episode with my friend Ashley here! If you have ever had thyroid or any type of hormone problem and you don’t feel like yourself, this is a must listen.
What childhood lessons will you never let go of?
Fitness, health, and good nutrition:
I won’t post a picture because it’s scary but this recipe was amazingly delicious. (I had salmon, pesto sauce and pasta on hand and I was like why not.) The kids loved it and so did Liv’s friend (she lives locally and joins us for dinner sometimes).
Our friends at GoMacro sent us some of their new squares to try out. THEY ARE SO GOOD. It’s not as sweet as the original bars, but the flavors are good and they have the same quality ingredients. I have a GoMacro bar almost every day (and so does P!) and it’s nice to change the flavors.
Organifi is having a Prime Day promo today for 10% off and you can redeem my code FITNESSISTA here. When you buy 3 products, you get Harmony for free! My favorite products are Green, Gold, Red, Harmony, Shilajit gummies, and hydrogen water tablets <— I use one almost every day. Check it out here.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see you soon!
