Happy Friday gang! As I was scribbling different things into my planner earlier this week, I realized it made more sense to put it in a blog post. I’m always getting asked what’s going on in Louisville and so I’m compiled 30 things to do in Louisville for you to attend over the next week plus recapping my Friday favorites. Let me know what you think of the new Friday Favorites format, it’s definitely more work so if it’s not something that y’all love, tell me!

Last weekend, I had a completely lazy weekend. I spent all day Saturday reading The World As It Is, which I found to be incredibly interesting. {This is the second Obama staff memoir that I’ve read and definitely the better of the two!} I normally read trashy romance novels {#noshame} so it was nice to switch things up and read some non-fiction.
This weekend, I’m looking forward to celebrating Father’s Day, finishing up some blog stuff since I’ll be out of office, and hopefully packing for Florida. What are your weekend plans?
