Happy Friday. We got back late Wednesday after a few days on Silver Lake in Vermont. It was so nice to have a change of scenery for a couple days. We haven’t gone anywhere or done anything other than grocery shop and go to the beach for a day since Marin was born in February so I think we all benefited from some time away. Being up in Vermont for a few days just solidified how much we love it up there.

If you’re looking for something to buy, try, read, share or pin, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of the week…
