Week In The Life™ 2026 | Saturday

Ah, Saturday.

A beautiful May Saturday here in my little corner of the world. It was an at-home day filled with lots and lots of outside time. Just what I needed.

Snap peas ready to harvest.

Coffee outside.

Betty loves the lamb dog toys and has them in multiple sizes that she often carries from upstairs in our bedroom to the yard.

I've picked up a number of new plants this year when Mom and I have taken adventures to local nurseries. I love that there will be tangible reminders of this season in my yard for years to come.

Today I finished up getting all the areas in our backyard pressure washed. I have 1/2 our driveway left to complete the full job for this year.

Something I already love about this season is how much time the kids like to spend outside too. They are always heading for the big sunny spot in the grass and both Isaac + Elliott have been reminding me again how magical the yard is right now.

Aaron rehanging some solar lights (we love the ones from Costco and have them all around on our fences).

Peonies!

A new video game came out and Isaac moved his operation downstairs so he could set up next to the big tv.

Simon was here to film a couple scenes for a Star Wars home movie he's been working on for a few months in his spare time.

Today was the first time I could remember in a long while when all five kids were here at the same time. It was joyful.

Thank you for the light.

I spent the vast majority of my Saturday outside pressure washing.

My Japanese Snowbell is showing off right now. It smells so good and the bees are so happy.

And pruning.

And talking to my pets.

More peonies coming.

Always girls coming and going and coming and going and I love it.

Pizza ordering for 10 means Aaron places multiple orders to take advantage of coupons! Girls went and picked it up this time.

I love that Simon likes to come over here and take a nap.

Always ready for this spot with him and her.
