Welcome to Round 50 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately!

Just Hang On, Just Hang On {August 2024 Goals}

How to Stop Activewear from Stinking {+ 4 Other Things I’ve Learned Lately}
Every fall, I try and share five random lessons (mostly practical) that I’ve learned recently in honor of back to school time. And this year, I’m gonna try to make at least some of them not growing- or flower-related, just so I don’t sound too much like a broken record over here 🙂 So without …

Rather than most of my round-ups, which usually only include titles I’ve read in their entirety, my summer reading list is a curated blend of books that I’m particularly EXCITED to read next and that …
