Happy weekend, everyone! It’s suppose to be a bright and sunshiny one!

We don’t have much planned. I’m still on the mend from my surgery earlier in the week, but I’m hoping I can start to kick the pain meds and get back to normal life before Monday.

Here’s what happened on bellingFAM this week:

// We announced a giveaway winner for a copy of MOMSTROLOGY. But, the winner never responded by the deadline, so we picked a new winner! Check to see if it was you and be sure to check your email, too!

// I had surgery on Tuesday. Note: That’s not my mouth. In case you were wondering. That would be gross. (Thanks for all of the kind get well wishes! You are all too sweet!)

// News that Maya Angelou passed shocked the world this week. Here are some of my favorite quotes from this inspiring woman. It was hard to pick just a few. I posted them on my Pinterest account, too, in case you love pinning quotes like I do.

// My sweet and talented friend, Sarah Jio, debuted her sixth novel this week, GOODNIGHT JUNE, and we’re celebrating with a giveaway. It’s still open… come enter!

// This week’s Mom Style post was all about the must-have shoe of the summer… Birkenstocks! What do you think of these picks? The silver pair is in the lead, big time.

Enjoy your weekend!
Can’t wait to see you on Monday for a fresh week of new content,
including some posts from some great local guest bloggers! 

xoxo.
