( friday ) favorite things

friday favorite things | finding joy I'm joining in with my lovely momma for ( friday ) favorite things. Celebrating, as my mom said, "those moments of joy in the midst of the everyday." All the lovely grace gifts throughout the week. I'm excited about this. Thankful for all the precious moments in midst of normalcy ( or ) chaos. Make sure that you head over and link up as well, sweet friends! :)
