If you’re wondering what all happened this week, the answer is…a little bit of everything. We talked business, I made cookies that are dangerously good, and got to go an awesome wedding! Consider this your weekly roundup of things that made life easier, tastier, or at the very least gave me something new to obsess over. Hopefully you’ll find something you love too!

She may be called Cake by Courtney, but these cookies by Courtney are unreal!!! If you haven’t checked them out see what I learned here!
Three things that can turn that frown upside down ( and probably earn you some bonus points with your spouse):
🧹Sweep or vacuum the floors.
🛏️Make your bed.
👕Put the laundry away.
None of these are glamorous. In fact, I’d argue they’re three of the most universally avoided chores. But isn’t it funny how once they’re done, the whole house feels calmer…and somehow you do too?
I don’t know if it’s the satisfaction of crossing something off the list or the fact that you’re no longer pretending not to see the pile of laundry, but it works every time.
Give it a try today. Pick just one of these, knock it out, and see if your mood changes.
And if these aren’t your “instant reset” tasks, what are? I’d love to hear what chore makes you feel like you’ve suddenly got your life together. 👇

If you have a hard time sleeping, try these sleep gummies. I get them at The Forest Murray and these have been fantastic!!!
These swim shorts might be my new favorite. I don’t know if it’s the stripes or what, but I love Minnow swim shorts!!!
I also finally got my Fourth of July shirt, and it’s just as good as I wanted it to be. If your husband doesn’t have a shirt from Southern Tide check this one out, it’ll easily become his favorite.
We did a huge restock of Clean Simple Eats this week and I have missed making orange Julius. All you need is a bag of Vanilla Protein Powder and some orange juice and you’ll have the perfect summer drink. And don’t forget to use code moderndad at check out for a discount!
One of my favorite things that we have done for our kids this summer is get them this camera. It has been so fun seeing the world through their eyes and giving me nostalgia for the home videos that my parents made. I can’t wait for my kids to watch these back and talk about all their memories from this camera.
That’s a wrap for this week’s favorites! Whether you came for the business tips, stayed for the cookies, or immediately added half the products to your shopping cart (no judgment—I probably did too), I hope you found something worth trying. Let me know in the comments what caught your eye, what you’ve been loving lately, or if there’s something I absolutely need to test next.
