Need to Take a Break from Screen Time?

Hello, my lovely!

The days keep blending together as my time here in Florida steadily shrinks...Soon my husband and I will start making our way back up to New York to spend the summer with our families. I am so torn because I don't want to leave here, but I also want to go home! I wish I could be in two places at once.

As the days go on, we are spending as much time as we can with my extended family here in Florida and we're also trying to get into a normal routine again. We are very much ready to settle down. I plan to do some blog posts in the future as I catch up with the RV Life series and talk about our experience living in an RV full-time. Our days are now numbered!

Remember in the last newsletter that I changed my domain name? So instead of withlovemelissashop.com, I am www.withlovemelissablog.com. This means that Google is going to take a little bit to catch up, so if you search my website it may still be the old domain (which you can still click on to get there!) in the search results. You may not find a particular page in the search results just yet either. My new domain needs to be indexed. So just get to the homepage and search through my search icon in the top right corner to find something. I also have a site map.

I am also still in the process of my massive site-wide audit, going through every single blog post because some links might not have changed over, so if you see anything funky, just know I haven't gotten to that page yet!

My ebook bundle has received an update! As a thank you for staying around, here is the link to my new bigger, and updated! I consider my newsletter supporters, my number 1 fans 💚

Our daily lives are filled with screens, so taking some time to do a digital detox in this day and age is essential!
