Summer Fridays, Vol 3.
Happy summer friday! Here’s what’s happening this weekend.
EATING
My buffalo smashed cucumber salad. And grilled chicken caprese pasta salad. Ooooh and root beer pulled pork. Finally, grilled chicken orzo salad!
DRINKING
Strawberry summer water. And frozen gin & tonics!
MAKING
A ton of stuff for this weekend. 48 recipes for father’s day right here! Oh oh plus my hot honey chili crunch dip! And jarlsberg cheese dip.
BAKING
Aperol spritz snack cake! And my gruyere herb slab biscuits!
CRAVING
My ricotta pancakes with salted blueberry butter. YUM.
GRILLING
The perfect slider bar. My pimento cheese grilled chicken sandwiches! This chimichurri quinoa bowl.
LISTENING
To this father’s day playlist! It’s a good one.
READING
Swan Song!!! I mean… it feels like a full circle moment. P.S. huge reading list right here.
WEARING
CRZ yoga does it again… their skirts are SO good. I love this pleated tennis one, this a line golf skirt and I even got the ruffled one! And even though I hate shorts I am so tempted to try one of these lightweight shorts/shirt sets!
LOVING
My favorite things to gift on father’s day? Polarized sunglasses, massage guns and backpack coolers. Boring, predictable but all so useful and practical! I have a huge list of all my favorite father’s day gifts here.
SHOPPING
Okay so Jordan’s official birthday was yesterday and as the third child, we have just about every toy he would be interested in! In a moment of utter panic I ordered the pony cycle and OH MY WORD was that a fabulous idea. He absolutely LOVES it. I love that it’s a bike (cycle… duh) and not motorized. He has had so much fun and adores it. We also set up this waterfall wall for him on our deck and he was in heaven! Max and Emilia love that too.
CELEBRATING
Jordan’s third birthday party tonight!! I have NO IDEA how on earth he is three years old. I feel like I had him five minutes ago. How is this possible?! Anyhoo, we have a truck with lots of construction vehicles so that is the most important! Today is also my mom’s birthday! And father’s day this weekend. And US Open weekend! SO many good eats coming up.

Happy belated birthday to Jordan and your Mom! I can’t believe he is 3. Although the picture of him from your week in the life post in the morning light, I couldn’t get over how grown up he looked, along with Max and Emilia. Now I am craving root beer pulled pork!
Loving It!!!
How is that baby boy already 3?!? It feels like you just had him, Jess! Hope you have a wonderful weekend celebrating everyone 🩷
I seriously want that pony for my grand daughter… she won’t be 3 until March but is a tall girl for her age. Should I wait until her birthday or maybe Christmas? Does Jordan use it often? It’s so crazy cool! 😍
