hi, hello. ✨
i had the best of intentions to send this newsletter out on the last day of may. today is june 17th. oops. instead of using the normal monthly format, this is just short + simple round up of the month of may.
happenings in may:
we took our spring vacation.
we stayed in a yurt in robbers cave state park in oklahoma.
we visited waco, texas + the silos
we (spontaneously) extended our trip for a night in galveston, texas.
i blogged every day in may.
mother’s day was celebrated with flowers + panera.
books* read in may:
the housemaid’s secret - 3 stars
the inmate - 3 stars
happy place - 3.5 stars
the locked door - 3 stars
jackson lost his first tooth!
we went to the drive-in + watched the little mermaid + the new guardians of the galaxy movies.
we (okay, JARED 😂) finished up the first year of homeschooling! i am so proud of the boys for what they accomplished this year. we are excited for first grade (even though i did shed a few tears because HOW DO I HAVE A FIRST GRADER?!)
three things i loved in may:
bubblepop pedi wraps. these have lasted on my toes for over five weeks! i have basically broken up with nail polish + only wear bubblepop wraps.
jalapeño + garlic-stuffed olives. i am a black olive girlie, but i loathe green olives. i recently saw these olives on tiktok + had to try it. i have already went through one jar + am on my second. such a delicious snack!
kindle unlimited. i opted for a two-month $5 trial of kindle unlimited. i read 3 of the 4 books for free this month!
