Feel Good Friday
This past week was CRAZY busy! Last Sunday, my Dad got really sick overnight -- like bad. After a doctor appointment on Monday where he had a CT scan & bloodwork done & then another appointment on Wednesday where he had a hida scan done. Yesterday afternoon they called him in to speak with a surgeon. He'll need to have surgery, but ideally they'd like to wait eight weeks so that the inflammation can go down. However, if he keeps feeling horrible then he'll have surgery next week. & if he starts to feel better & decides to have surgery in eight weeks & he has another attack, then they'll have to do surgery immediately. So much unknown!
If you've been around here for a little while, then you know about Chill. For those of you that are new around here, I'll fill you in! Last summer, my family opened up a sno cone trailer in our little bitty hometown. My two sisters, parents & I (plus one cousin) run it Monday-Saturday. (We're closed on Sundays this year because the Rices need rest too)!! Anyway, for those of you who don't own a sno cone trailer, it's a heckuva lot of work. More work than we knew going into the whole thing last summer. There's quite a bit of heavy lifting between the ice blocks & the sugar water mixture that we use to make our flavors. Us girls have deemed all of the heavy lifting duties "Dad jobs". Well, if our Dad ends up having to have surgery, us girls will have to step it up & take over the "Dad jobs"! You see what I'm getting at here? I tried bringing up the sugar water mixture the other night to assess my skills ... let's just say ... I now feel like I need to have surgery on my shoulder ... this is not going to be good OR pretty, people!
One of my most favorite things to do for a relaxing weekend is to go to a winery. We went to our favorite local winery called Grace Hill & since my brother just turned 21 in May, he got to come & experience all that is good & right in the wine world. My absolute favorite wine from Grace Hill is called Eclipse. It's a suuuper sweet white wine & I could honestly probably drink the whole bottle by myself in one sitting if I allowed it. My brother & Mom both got Peckerhead Red -- a pretty sweet red wine. It's probably my third or fourth favorite out of all of them!

friday favs...
Have y'all tried bubly sparkling water? I love me a good pop every now & then, but I'd like to try some other things that aren't so bad for you. I didn't love my first drink of this, but the more I drank, the more I liked it! Are you a sparkling water drinker & if so, what's your favorite kind? Please leave your thoughts in the comments below!!
Everyone needs a cute go-to dress in the summertime & we found ours -- this babydoll t-shirt dress is perfect! My Mom is wearing it here in olive green & it goes perfectly with her favorite tan platform sandals. Such an easy & cute outfit for the hot temperatures this summer! I'm wearing it in black & white striped in the above picture at the winery. I love that it's so easily dressed up or down & it's great quality for the price at $20. I will say, it's definitely a wider fit, but still super cute! I usually would wear a small, but I got extra small in this one.
Bethany recently ordered this darling hair clip set. Such a good price for what you're getting! I love that there's so many different colors & styles. These are definitely on my wish list.
She also ordered this headband set & this leopard one too. SO CUTE! When I was in middle school, headbands like these were used strictly to slick back your hair, not for cute purposes. I love how easy these are to throw on & how quickly they add a pop of color or pattern to a look. Also on my wish list!
About a month ago I ordered a few pairs of new glasses & they recently came in! I'm such an organizer, so of course when I saw this glasses organizer case on Amazon, I was hooked. It holds nine pairs of glasses & actually looks really cute sitting on my vanity! Pictures of my new glasses will be coming soon!
