This week has been a blur of writing and life things, but I still managed to squeeze in some fun. We had a few deliciously cool days, so Connie and I took full advantage with long, leisurely walks. And let me tell you, those cooler temps gave her a burst of energy—she’s been a little tornado with her toys every morning! Even my Shih Tzu seems to love that “almost fall” feeling. I know, I know—it’s still technically summer. But a gal can dream, right?While I (impatiently) wait for sweater weather to arrive, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites from this week. Ready? Let’s dive in: Podcast: Homemaker Chic — They kicked off a new season a couple of weeks ago, and I’m still catching up. Always such a treat to listen in. Instagram: @Potato.thePrairieDog — This account makes me smile every time! Fun fact: we actually had two pet prairie dogs. Wally, our first, passed away young, but Cosmo lived with us for nearly 13 years. He was such a character, and we still miss him. Workout: Dumbbell HIIT 3 from GHU — So much fun, and I love the sense of community with these workouts. YouTube: Miranda Mills — This week she and her mum chatted about their current reads. Cozy, charming, and just the kind of content I adore. Current Read: Every Time I Go On Vacation, Someone Dies — What a fun, witty book! I’ve been looking forward to winding down with it every night. TV Series: Rosemary & Thyme — I’m deep into season two on YouTube, and I can’t believe I waited this long to watch. Such a delightful mystery series!That’s my round-up for the week. It’s always fun to pause, take stock, and share the little things that are bringing me joy.Do you have a fave this week you’d like to share? Leave a comment below.
