Have a darling weekend

This weekend is going to be a big one at our house. Coco is turning 7 tomorrow and she designed the concept for her birthday party entirely on her own. Attractions will include candy kabobs, root beer floats, a donut-shaped cake per her own design/illustration, a piñata, ring toss, pin-the-horn-on-the-unicorn, and all the balloons. She can't wait! I decided to add a bunch of Totino's Party Pizzas because a). why are those nasty cardboard things so tasty?! and b). something has to temper all that sugar. ;)

This week, I've had this balloon photo from L'Instant Parisien's Instagram as the wallpaper on my phone and it has made me smile ear to ear many times a day. This week was a doozy, so thank you darling little boy with the balloon. Honestly, I love everything about this photo. Such mirth and joy! I just want to give him a little squeeze and a snuggle. Where do you suppose his mom is? Do you think maybe he's just cruising around 1930's Paris on his own à la Le Ballon Rouge?!

And, here are a few links for your weekend, including a few of Coco's top birthday wish list picks:

Made me chuckle!

Either the best birthday present ever - or a trip to the ER!

Are you a victim of lifestyle inflation?

The big article blowing up the internet this week. (No pun intended)

I love this music I just discovered.

I have no words. (Watch the video! LOL;)

Inspiring! The Zurich one made me cry.

Internet gold.

Ireland in 60 seconds.

I want to get two of these in C and T. So cute!

I hope your weekend is wonderful in every way. I will see you back here next week. Thank you, as always, for reading!
