Happy Friday 4/5/24

Happy Friday! How are you? Any exciting weekend plans? We’re headed to our son’s rugby game (a first!) and have unambitious plans for pizza and a movie. An uneventful weekend seems just the ticket, don’t you think? Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Daffodils from our Farmhouse

Some links from the week…

Three rules for parenting kids with virtue and happiness in mind, according to Arthur C Brooks.

Just for fun, which of these historic homes would you buy if you had $3.2M laying around? The NY farmhouse is SO cool (shown above), but I’ve always been enamored with historic townhouses and Savannah.

My secret source for affordable linen blackout curtains (yes, they really do exist!).

This home makes a case for vertical paneling.

When Nana downsized from 20 acres in the country to a 7,500sf lot in town, she didn’t give up on gardening. In fact, she has a bigger garden now than she ever did in the country and we got to share a tour of her garden on the blog this week.

It’s the flower details on the cabinet doors for me (and the whole mudroom, really!). So sweet.

Never seem to find the time to relax? It might be due to the ‘rest gap’.

A book rec for you…this novel about love and loss was a total tear-jerker and so good.

Hope you have a good one!
