Friday Favorites The Long Hot Summer

Hello sweet friends! I am happy to say that I am safely back home from my travels. It feels good to stay put if even for a few weeks. It has been wickedly warm and humid here. How about you? Here’s to Friday Favorites The Long Hot Summer.

Let Them

I just finished reading Mel Robbins new book The Let Them Theory. As a people pleaser who often puts too much weight on what others think as well as struggling with the unkindness of others this book provides simple tools to letting go. It is a game changer.

Help Texas Flood Victims

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to make sure my family and I were safe. The horrific Texas flooding occurred about 3 hours away from us. Earlier this week, on Facebook and Instagram, I posted ways to assist. 

Now even more rain is expected to hit this saturated region today.

So I am holding a sale in my Etsy shop. A portion of the proceeds of each sale will benefit The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund or Austin Pets Alive who are caring for displaced animals.

Through the weekend I am offering Free Shipping. More merchandise, to include aprons and capes, will be added to my shop today. 

 

Have a safe and lovely summer weekend,

Laura
