Today, I’d like to do something a little different and provide you with a round-up videos to watch. Enjoy…

Hello friends! What are you up to this week? Yesterday, I full on stopped work in the middle of the day to listen to this emergency episode of the Britneysgram podcast. What started as a comedy podcast about Britney Spears’s magical and ridiculous Instagram has become a true crime podcast and I. am. here for it! Highly recommend checking it out. Anywho, this weekend we’re planning on getting our yard ready for the summer months. We don’t have a covered porch in the back and bugs are pretty bad where we’re at, so we’re thinking of getting one of those pop-up gazebo things. Have you ever used one? Hope you have a great day, and here’s the latest links for your enjoyment…

Hello Delight-Seekers! And welcome to the first mid-week round-up of 2019… How is your January faring? After all the holiday travel in December, I’m happy to be returning to a slower pace. The past few days have been filled with work and good amount of CHILL-TIME…and I’m just fine with that. The weather is beautiful and sunny today (I had an hour long work call this morning that I was all too happy to take outside) and we’re hoping it holds to accommodate some outdoor projects we need to tackle this weekend. Hope your new year is off to a magnificent start, and here are a few fun things you might want to check out before you go…
