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?

Happy Friday, friends!

It’s been a little while since I shared a Friday Faves post, but I’m back with a fresh roundup of what’s been bringing me joy this week. Time is flying—I hit 30,000 words in my current work-in-progress (yay!), and I’ve officially started copyedits on the manuscript that’s due to my publisher in July. Between the writing sprints and editing, I’ve been keeping busy, but I’m loving the momentum.

Happy Friday! Happy last week in September! Say what??? How did that happen? Wasn’t it just Labor Day? It certainly feels like it was but today is September 27^th. There’s just three more days until we welcome in October and I couldn’t be happier! I’m in full-on pumpkin spice mode and my sweaters are just waiting to be worn.

Happy Friday! Happy first week in July! July? Wasn’t I just writing my faves post for June? Yep. Now we’re in a whole new month with a long-stretch of summer ahead of us.

My faves this week include a podcast, a Instagram account that always makes me smile, the workout of the week, a favorite YouTube channel, my current read, hair care products and favorite Christmas movie. Ready? Let’s get started.

Happy Friday! Can you believe we’re inching closer and closer to the end of June? What happened? Wasn’t it just Easter? What I’m about to say is going to be controversial, but…the closer we get to July means the closer we get to all things pumpkin spice! I know, I hear you summer babies out there but I love fall and thinking about those cooler days wearing sweaters helps me survive the humid days of summer. Anyhoo, today I wanted to share some of my faves this week (despite the heatwave, though I know it’s not as bad here as it is on other places).

My faves this week include a podcast, a Instagram account that always makes me smile, the workout of the week, a favorite YouTube channel and my current read. Ready? Let’s get started.

Podcast: The Cross Stitch Podcast. This is a new to-me podcast that I found after I started a new project. It’s been ages since I’ve cross stitched and last year I purchased a chart for a Halloween-themed sampler and I finally felt like I wanted to stitch again.

Instagram: Aubreycraighome. I love this New England themed blog filled with beautiful pictures of homes in all four seasons.

Workout: Get Healthy U’s Barre Burn. Thirty minutes of no-nonsense barre exercises. Loved it!

You Tube: Nikol Johnson. I’m loving her re-booted Fierce Aging series that combines a makeup tutorial and life advice from amazing women.

My current read: Murder by Page One by Olivia Matthews. I’ve had this book on my Kindle app for a few months and last week I needed a new book to read and this sounded like so much fun. So far, it is!
