Spring Recipes You Didn't Know You Needed

Hello, my lovely!

This newsletter just happens to land on the Spring Equinox, so happy first day of Spring!

My husband and I have had a blast of a time down here in Florida these past couple weeks. We spent the beginning of March wandering around bike week and getting front row spots at the Daytona 200.

Immediately following that, we went on a vacation for a week with family and kayaked til the cows came home. We paddled through the most stunning natural springs with vibrant blue water and an abundance of cute creatures (although I wouldn't call gators cute!).

Now we're settling back into some routines and slowly beginning prepping for traveling back up north. In the meantime, I am enjoying every minute here I can get.

Blog news: I'm still working on that site-wide audit. I have about a hundred posts to go through and fix links, so some links may redirect you back to the homepage. Just a heads up!

I gave my Redbubble shop a little update. I'll be adding some more listings to it soon. New products in store include Bucket Hats, Baseball Caps, Dog Mats, Dog Bandanas, Pet Blankets and more!


See what I read last year! You can view my favorite books of 2023 here.

See what else I've read on my Goodreads! Feel free to friend or follow so you can have updates on your feed and we can talk books!
