Happy Birthday, America! We hope you were able to find time this weekend to celebrate; maybe not in the way you've been able to in years past, but in a way that felt meaningful, recharging, and good for the soul. We took Grey for a boat tour and dip in Lake...
I hope this post finds you joyful today! And if by chance it doesn't as you're reading this second sentence, my goal is for you to be by the end. Will you report back? We've got some fabulous finds to get to this week: Make it. via Half Baked Harvest These Mac and...
Call it a bucket list, a joy journal, a memory-making manual; whatever you name it, let's cross off every single item, shall we? Because of all the summers to find fun again, this is the one where we really need it. Here's what we're planning over the next few...
