Happy weekend. This weekend will be a busy one. I am hosting a party for my friend Katie’s book tomorrow, and then we will have a little conversation afterward (come by if you are local!). Today will be spent getting the house ready for the party. I always stress myself out a little bit about making it look perfect; so I’m trying to relax a bit. Whatever you are up to, I hope it’s great! Also, don’t forget, now you can get blog posts delivered by email. This will come in handy when I’m on vacation in July… I won’t be on social media, but I’ll have new blog posts scheduled. Xo
