Here’s a rewritten version of the content with improved clarity, grammar, and structure:
Hi friends! Happy Friday, and a special Happy 4th of July to my American friends celebrating today! We’re enjoying a relaxed afternoon, followed by swimming and dinner with friends tonight. I hope you have a fun and festive weekend planned!
Here are some snapshots from the week:
Dinner at Madre’s
Simple family dinners are the best! We had smoked chicken legs on the Traeger, baked potatoes with garlic and rosemary, and a fresh salad with homemade dressing.
Trying to Dress Up
I’ve been making an effort to dress up every day since we’ve been back. This blue dress is from Nuuly (still have mixed feelings about it, though):
Thrive Market Goodies
I recently stocked up on some essentials from Thrive Market. My link gets you 40% off your first order. I love using it for pantry staples, dog treats (Maisey adores their turkey sticks), and snacks!
Date Night with the Pilot
We had a lovely date night at the lodge recently—always a great time!
7.4 Friday Faves
It’s time for this week’s favorites! I’m sharing some of my top picks from the week and around the web. Let me know what you’re loving in the comments below!
Fashion + Beauty + Random Finds
Farm Rio: They’re offering 50% off sitewide this weekend! I couldn’t resist and ordered a new romper and a few dresses. Use code EXTRA50 at checkout. Their pieces are high-quality, unique, and true to size.
Lumebox: Get 45% off this FDA-approved, portable, and low-EMF red light therapy device. I use mine daily!
- Oliveda: Enjoy 21% off orders over $150, and orders over $250 include a free F59 Hydroxytyrosol Corrective Serum. I’m obsessed with their skincare line, including their face cream, Moroccan mint oil, and honey enzyme mask.

Planning to make banana pudding this weekend—can’t wait!
