Random thoughts on a Saturday morning sprinkled with sunshine:

1. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it before—but I am all about Judge Judy.

I take a break and watch her every day at 4:00 pm. One of my goals this year was to sit in the audience of her show.

But I just found out that the people in the audience?

They are all actors.

Now I’m trying to figure out how I can become an actor, too.

2. You know how much I love Colleen Rothschild skin care—even the twins are using her products now. And now? Everything is 25% off right now with the HUGE Christmas in July sale this weekend. It’s the perfect time to stock up—I just ordered more of my favorite Extreme Recovery Cream that has made SUCH a DIFFERENCE with my skin.

You can see the sale here.

3. If you want a fun idea to cover your porch swing chains like I did in the first photo? You can see that DIY here.

4. It was an amazing week on the blog. I shared

  • all about the hydrangea whisperer
  • this simple bathroom update (with the cutest hydrangea towels)
  • how to organize a small closet like a pro
  • this DIY chalkboard meal planner

That was a lot.

WHEW.

It’s been a great week and it’s going to be an even more amazing weekend.

Here are all my fun finds from around the internet this week.

A beautifully set dining table adorned with a large bouquet of colorful flowers, including yellow, pink, and white blooms. The table features pink and white napkins, peaches, and small decorative lanterns, all against a white background with string lights and modern decor in the back.

Look at these crepe paper flowers.

What a perfect end-of-summer craft.

You can see the DIY here.

Doesn’t this look like the perfect summer salad?

Yes, please.

You can see the recipe here.

An open botanical journal displays pressed plants labeled "Rosemary" and "Aronia." Surrounding the journal are items including a pair of scissors, a feather quill, an ink pot, fabric samples, a paintbrush, old documents, and a "Mustard Seed Interiors" logo.

Look at this way to collect garden cuttings.

It’s so beautiful and simple all at the same time.

You can see the entire how-to here.

Here’s a post on how to make oatmeal soap.
