Hello there and happy June to you.  May was full of many good things 💗. As places opened up and my health improved, we have gotten out more. My husband and I tried a newer restaurant and liked it so well that we went back a second time. We also enjoyed weekly lunch dates at the park, went to watch our youngest play with a local band at a fun venue, celebrated Mother’s Day, and set up our new fire pit. Our landscaping project is underway, and I’ve been spring cleaning with fervor. We are anticipating a fun summer with many plans made. See more about that below under the “What I’ve listened to lately*” section. How about you? What plans have you made for summertime? Do you plan to explore nearby sights or travel afar?

FYI~  Each month, I send out a much longer version of this type of post which always includes recipes, and recommendations for random things like clothes, skincare, makeup, books, and such. It’s much more personal and is the place where I share more private topics with my readers. If you would like to receive that, you may sign up here.  At the end of each month, you’ll find it waiting for you in your inbox  It’s typically loaded full of great links!

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:

~  I ordered this tea at a café and liked it so much, my son and DIL bought me some for Mother’s Day.

~ Have you heard of Quince? It’s a company that offers high-quality items at low prices. I’ve purchased a few items and am very satisfied 😊

~ This app. I’ve been using it daily since Jan. 1 & I’m so thankful for it. 

~ Since I’m spending more time outdoors, I make sure to slather this sunscreen on before heading out.
