cotton candy

woops! my post got timed incorrectly today! happy friday!

i love a good window seat. last weekend i flew out to florida to see my husband on tour. as we reached 30,000 feet in the air, i couldn't help but look out at the sun shining through the clouds. for some reason (probably because i woke up SUPER early), the clouds looked like cotton candy! here is my fun cotton candy inspiration for the day! happy weekend!
