Friday Things #429
1. Isabelle did a little three-day dance “camp” this week (just 30 minutes each day) to get a feel for it since she keeps saying she “wants to ballerine” 😍 It was so cute and she seemed to really enjoy it!
2. When we watched the end of Isabelle’s class on the second day, Joseph had the biggest, brightest smile watching her and I wish I had been able to snap a picture quickly because it absolutely melted my heart.
3. Dominic is riding his bike without training wheels! He picked it up pretty quickly and then was off… A summer milestone 😉
4. Does anyone have any experience with prescription swim goggles? Dominic has mentioned that it can be hard to see sometimes at swim class since he doesn’t have his glasses on. My husband found online that prescription goggles exist; his eye doctor doesn’t sell them and didn’t have any contact info, so I’m curious if anyone here has used or bought them?
5. Mourning the loss of my old phone number… I think I’ll always remember our phone number growing up; I still remember my grandma’s and aunt’s, too.
6. Which French fry is your favorite? I haven’t had them all, but it’s a toss-up between #1 and #6 for me!

7. It’s the middle of July and suddenly I feel like summer is almost over 😭 Just five weeks and change until school starts and omg, THAT IS TOO SOON, ugh!
8. Anyone watching The Open this weekend? It’s the tournament that got me totally into watching golf over 10 years ago. Still one of my favorite sporting events to watch!
9. Okay, last week when I mentioned Goliath, Renee commented that the second season wasn’t bad, but not as good as the first and then the third season just gets weird. THIS, 100%. The second season started out great, but then go way weird, and we just started the third, but it’s even stranger! Then we looked and saw that the people who wrote the first season did NOT write the 2nd and 3rd seasons, which has to be a big part of it. Disappointing since the first season was stellar.
10. TGIF! Best buds 💜
I think some nicer (independent) sporting goods store may have some prescription goggles in the lower prescriptions. I’m thinking Rapid Transit (in State College) carried some in the store. If not, Swim Outlet is a great resource for anything swimming.
From an adult user POV: Game changer. I had a prescription face mask for scuba diving. I ultimately learned how to dive while wearing contacts but I always preferred the face mask with the prescription. It was fussy when taking the prescription mask off though. I had to also be near my glasses. But I figured out how to make it work. Then I learned to dive with contacts. Not as visually good but much easier.
Swim goggles are worth the investment. My nephew ( now grown) had them as a kid and made a world of difference. He couldn’t see to dive down to get things off the bottom of the pool. In addition to poor vision, the reflection of the sun in the water, the pattern of the liner made it even more difficult. Without prescription goggles he would have been swimming/diving nearly blind and that made us nervous! He was thrilled to get them!
I have used prescription swim goggles for years. The prescription is close enough to make a huge difference. I can see the lane lines clearly, and most importantly, that pace clock. They will help Dominic so much.
We have used Rx goggles for swim team. Amazing game changer for my blind without glasses son. Swimoutlet.com has the best deals and selection.
Hi Michelle, On your advice I purchased Yellowstone first season when Amazon Prime had it offered for half price. My husband wasn’t thrilled about it until we decided to bite the bullet and watch the first few episodes. Needless to say, we both loved it and finished the first season last night! He has some health issues and now this show gives us something to look forward to. Thanks so much for the rave reviews! Buying Season Two today. Also love your recipes and watching your adorable & unique children grow up.
