Hi friends! It’s been a busy couple weeks around here. It seems like the summer always goes by so fast– we’ve had plans almost every weekend. I love seeing my family and friends, but I’m an introvert at heart and will enjoy when things settle down again– which may be several months from now!! 

I’ve got a bachelorette party coming up for my future sister in law, a sponsored trip to California, a blogging conference in Vermont (both of which I’ll have a whole blog post dedicated to!), and a family wedding in October. Busy busy! 

Today I’m linking up with Running with Spoons for Link Love. Enjoy!

  1. I feel you, I’m an introvert at heart as well. While I’ve been enjoying doing lots of exploring of our new city that is Austin, I need some down time on the weekends to recover from the adventures! Mmm, those beer recipes sound so good. Especially your sweet potato gnocchi! I bet Vermont will be fun for a blogging conference! I’ve never been anywhere near the Northeast, but I hope to travel there someday.

    1. I’ve been following all your IG pics of Austin! Sounds like you’re settling in well :) I’ve never been anywhere northeast as well. So excited to go up there!

  2. Thanks for including my post! Does this mean I’ll be seeing you at California almonds? And it sounds like you’ll be at Blog Brulee as well! Jealous – wish I could go back!

    1. Yes I’ll be there!! So excited to meet you! The hotel looks so gorgeous. Looking forward to three days away!
