How was your weekend? I just wanted to take a moment to say hey. I love being able to “chat” with ya’ll.. even if it is in a post. 😉

In three short weeks we will be heading on our first out of country family vacation. We are going to Ireland at the end of the month and will be staying on a farm. We’ve been saving for this trip for a year — I’m so blessed that we’ve been able to put the funds together as the trip is not cheap when you are trying to take five people! I’m pretty nervous about the flight there– we will be traveling for about 15 hours and our boys have not experienced anything like this. (I need all of your prayers!!! 😉 )

Last week, I attended Social Media Day in San Diego. I have a Social Media and Blog consulting business, so this was a great way to network with other social media mangers and to learn about the new social media trends. You would think that with all of the media platforms we already have– that they would run out of ideas. Hah! That is far from the truth as there are new ones everyday it seems. Conferences like this are SO motivating and I am so lucky to be able to call this my career.

This summer, I’ve been trying to read more. I decided to take a trip to Barnes and Noble the other night and ended up leaving with quite a few parenting books.. My goal this summer is to read 10 books. I LOVE reading and sometimes finishing reading books within one day. Here are just a few that I am diving into this summer:

Are you reading anything right now? I’d love to know. I’m always looking for new reads.

Lately, I’ve been LOVING the fresh flowers in our house. I’ve been splurging and spending $5 bouquets at Albertsons every other week. There is just something about flowers and summer. I love it! 🙂

How has your summer been? Hope you are staying cool!

    Dear Josie, it was a pleasure to read your post! I cruise your blog once in a while, and more often lately because we’re expecting our first child, so every penny really counts now. This post reminds me that there’s a real person behind all this and it inspires me to get motivated! Thank you for all your hard work and great advice!

    Hiya!

    I am a crazy avid reader… I read while I brush my teeth and blow dry my hair. Then I switch on an Audible story while I do my make-up and chores. I drive and listen. I read on my phone, on my Kindle, on my computer. Of course, given that I work at a library, I read stacks of traditional books at a time!

    I actually just started (as in yesterday-LOL), a Pinterest board called The Constant Reader. I’ve read almost 800 books in 10 years and I’m trying to get them all up with a comment. The commenting is hard since I don’t always remember the plot from 10 years ago. 😉

    Anyway… I’d love it if you joined my Constant Reader page! https://www.pinterest.com/3cagirls/the-constant-reader/

    Kate 🙂
