Happy weekend. I hope it was a good week. Tonight, I’m having a sleepover with my niece. I’ve been so excited for this! We’ll do a fancy bath and a blowout, loads of craft projects, and a movie before bed. I told her that if she’s good, I’ll teach her a prank or two. Pranks are a big thing right now with the 6 y/o set. I can’t wait. That’s my only solid weekend plan. Wishing you a cozy, happy, and restful weekend! Xo
