What I Bookmarked This Week
This pork tenderloin stir fry looks AH-mazing.
Can’t wait to make these summertime fried chicken sandwiches.
Saving these skillet steak bites in mushroom gravy for a cozy fall day!
This will make an amazing lunch >> Asian-inspired chicken salad
Ooooh yes Big Mac sliders!
Have a delicious weekend!



I like the crossbody bag! My favorite is more like a nylon style that is lightweight for traveling, I use it for tours etc. I like it because it also has a pouch for a water bottle, which can make the bag heavier but love being able to be hands free while still having the water close by!
Your opening photo….
A retired teacher’s dream photo!
May your precious children always have a love of reading!! Yay! 💕
Your weekend updates can be dangerous L O L! We will be returning home next week after 10 weeks at our summer camp and I cannot wait to make your Keylime pie….. And I’m also going to have to try the pork tenderloin stirfry and the Asian inspired chicken salad. So much deliciousness!
Love seeing the photo of your children reading. Don’t you wish summer break lasted all year long?
