Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁
Let’s see what brought the sparkle this week!
Wednesday marked eight years of To Sparkle Punch, which is madness! In July 2014, I was a just a baby limping around Philly in a walking boot, one year removed from the start of this whole mental health journey. 🤯
Though I would only shyly link up with Fran’s Budgeting Bloggers back then, I definitely was (and am) “here to make friends”—and I’ve made so many! Special shout-out to Mica and Bri, who I often talk to via text/IG messages! 💖💖
Dude, I have been so.tired. this past week—tired enough to want to sit down and watch a movie, which is a rare occurrence! I was in the mood to re-watch this Hallmark gem, and I was delighted to find it on Amazon!
Petition for Kimberley Sustad to star in all Hallmark movies!
Something else that’s been bringing the sparkle? Those little butterfly lights above!
I found them at Big Lots a few months ago, and they remind me of the butterfly clips of my childhood… which seem to have come back in style? (Although, if you wore butterfly clips to your Confirmation in 1999, does that mean their 2022 resurgence is not for you?? 😬🙃)
Our hydrangea is THRIVING this year. It is bigger and more colorful than ever!
HOW IS THIS ALL THE SAME PLANT?? (Okay, yes, varied soil pH, but still!)
Our Rose of Sharon is thriving too! (Possibly because I’m not bumping into it with my car on a daily basis?? 😂)
Lastly, though horrifying, this tweet cracked me up…
and inspired me to bust out this shirt:
