This month I enjoyed reading on the shore of Lake Michigan. It's not 30A, but The Great Lakes are growing on me. We spent several days enjoying the sunshine and shark-free waters! This month I also celebrated My Little Library's FIRST birthday! It has been a blast sharing my love of books and reading with my community. I never get tired of seeing people stop by to grab a book. It makes my heart happy!!! This month I filled my library with some of my favorite summer books to celebrate! Continue Reading
My Five Essentials for Summer

I didn't think much of his request until I saw a Facebook friend help her daughter set up a lemonade stand. It got me thinking... Allowing Jackson to have a lemonade stand could be a valuable learning experience. So I said yes! I told him we would have a lemonade stand on Friday and he was pumped! We took a trip to the store and bought Continue Reading
Five Things You’ll Find Me Doing This Summer
This summer has been about rest. It's been about slowing down and making time for me. I did not make my health a priority earlier this year and I felt the toll.
