Hello and happy Friday!

This week we boarded a big bird and found ourselves in Venice, Italy to meet up with our Smudge of Love and her BFF who’ve been gap year traveling through Europe for the past two months. Can I tell you how amazing it was to see her again?? And now to spend the next two weeks finishing out their European travel goals? Not to mention eating ALL the good food. All of it I tell you! If you’re interested in following along, I’m sharing over on my Instagram stories.
But now, it’s time to get into this week’s Friday Faves. Have a great week friends! I know I will.
