1. Tomorrow is my Friday – yay for 3-day work weeks!
2. Our new cat, Riley, is starting to really fit in with Owen and Taby, and it makes life much easier.
3. Football starts in just about 2 months (finally!!)
4. TJ and I have no plans for the extended weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. Tons of time relaxing together is my favorite way to spend our days off.
5. Easy summer desserts that you can make the night before, allowing for more time with friends and family without sacrificing delicious taste – namely this Cookies & Ice Cream Cheesecake!
