While I was heartbroken over everything, I feel a sense of peace this week that she\u2019s pain-free and hanging out with Bella and my Tata Gene.<\/p>\n
What do you have going on this weekend? It\u2019s going to be a fun one over here. P has a birthday party, we\u2019re headed to a fall festival, Liv\u2019s friend is sleeping over, and we\u2019re seeing Lion King<\/em>. Whew! Packed as much fun as possible into the weekend. \ud83d\ude42 I hope you have a great one ahead, too.<\/p>\n A bright spot in the week: seeing Michael Bubl\u00e9 for the second time! The last time I saw him in concert was 2019, and it was a DREAM to see him again on Tuesday night. Madre watched the kiddos and the Pilot and I headed up to Phoenix for dinner and the show. It was everything. He\u2019s so incredibly talented, the musicians were incredible, and I LOVED his backup singers\/dancers. They were up there killin\u2019 it the entire time.<\/p>\n Naturally, I screamed my face off and croaked all day on Wednesday. It was worth it and 10\/10 will do it again.<\/p>\n We had amazing seats! Also, there was a woman in the audience who has been to 52 of his shows! GOALS.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n What has made you laugh lately?<\/a>\u00a0For me, it\u2019s been these chipmunk videos<\/a>. I could watch them for hours.<\/p>\n Aging isn\u2019t about lost youth.<\/a><\/p>\n Beautycounter\u2019s fall sale is heeeeere and ends on Sunday.
