 Hi Friends!  We made it!  We are approaching 4th of July Weekend..one of my favorite weekends all year!  It will look a little different this year (crazy rain predicted) but I am sure it will give me 2021 vibes and we still had a blast!  So here goes nothing but before we get there...here are a few faves for you!

Film Camp!



My Girls have had SO MUCH FUN at Film Camp This Week...but they look bummed right?  HA!!  ;)

 








The Five Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand


Yes friends...her latest is out and I am devouring it...I know we don't have many more, if any, beach reads coming at us from her so I am savoring this one and trying to slow down but it is FABULOUS :)

Shellfish!


Can you believe we never gave Eva shellfish before now?  I was just always worried she would have an allergy and I have no idea why.  None of us do but it was never the right time to try until this week.  We tried shrimp on Tuesday night.  She had three with her dinner and then a few hours later we tried two more.  All seems to be ok AND she loved it! We may try it once more over the next month just to be certain but she likes it!  How could she not when her mother is a mermaid? ;)








 

Happy Anniversary!



We celebrated 1 year this week with Diana's AMAZING Vocal Coach Carlos.  He truly is the best.  He has prepared her for auditions, strengthened her voice and her confidence and he has introduced us to his agent who he would love Diana to work with.  We are so grateful for you Carlos! XO








 
Dream Team Reunited
 
 
Well most of us and it was a wonderful night!  When I think back to what we accomplished,  it still amazes me.  This group was incredible.  I was asked by our company president to take over a failing sister company...when I was a mere 27 years old...to say I was scared was an understatement...I went home and cried every night...I had panic attacks but I just put my mind to it.  I sat in an office...all by myself...as the staff had walked out after the hostile takeover.  I studied and learned the business...I hired this incredible team and guess what?  We were the first group in the U.S to turn a profit with that little company which is now part of the 2nd largest staffing company in the world BUT the best thing to come out of it was the amazing team and our never-ending friendships.  When one of us calls, we always show up and I will be forever grateful.
 

 

That's a wrap!  Happy 4th My Friends!  Go live it up in all of your Red, White and Blue!

Great list of items, Holly! Do you think the satin pillowcases live up to their hype? I hear good things about them from people who profit from others buying (using an affiliate link) them but doesn't make me feel like I can completely trust the opinion. It was fun to read about your amazing job performance for your company. Love your red, white and blue inspo. I hope you have the best July 4th weekend!!

@Maria I am new to the "sating pillowcase" thing and you will laugh! Diana told me to get them so I grabbed two- one for her and one for me- stay tuned- it is supposed to "save our hair" ha!

Our weather is not looking great right now, either. We have had so much rain and so many storms!
I am still going to make some festive foods, though, so thank you for the inspo! I love fruit pizza made with crescent roll dough, cream cheese frosting and blueberries and strawberries on top!

That flowery dress is so pretty and I love that lunch bag! Film camp sounds like a lot of fun and I am glad Eva loved the shellfish and had no reaction to it.

Enjoy your weekend! Weirdly other than seeing the fireworks in town tonight it doesn't much feel like the 4th of July weekend here as we don't have any cookouts or anything planned. I love that dress though.. not that I need another dress but I may have to check that one out!

Five Star Weekend is on my summer reading list. Can't wait! I love your job/work story...you are a girl boss! Love it. Congrats to you and your team. I hope you have a great holiday weekend.
