Hello & Welcome, Reader, How is life treating you? Good, I hope! If you are looking for a bit of inspiration, here is your weekly Friday Finds newsletter! We're home and hit the ground running.

We made a quick jaunt to WI for a Mother's Day baseball game with my daughter and lots of snuggles and hugs from the littlest grandsons. I'm in heaven. You have to get those hugs before...
