The β€œpicture you reading this” description was so spot on. Toddlers with yogurt faces climbing on me while I try not to spill lukewarm coffee - hands still pruny from finishing last nights dishes this morning at 7am. We’re about to pack up and head to the zoo! So glad to have you back πŸ’•πŸ’•

Just here to second the movie marathon with your partner or bestie! My hubs and I did a β€œSummer of Tommy Lee Jones” a few years agoβ€”it was really fun.

Thank you thank you…I love everything you wrote. πŸ‘πŸ½I would love if you gave notes on your picks for the Nordy Anni Sale because I’ve been on the lookout for a long white skirt and I see you’ve got some lovely’s posted here 🀩🀩🀩.ordered the mosquito patches and the book! I love that you are prioritizing what brings you peace this season. And calm when you’re not tending to family and trying to get yourself moved into your new beautiful home. Your community here gets it and supports that 100%. We will take what we can get!

Thank you so much, Christiane! I’m with you on the white skirt, I grabbed one I loved last year and will do some hunting for you.

Have you read Everyone Here is Lying by Shari Lapena or None of This is True by Lisa Jewell? I am not really a thriller girl but these were page turners for sure!

Jill Atogwe's avatar

Loooove none of this is true. I’ll have to look into the other one!

Yay, she’s back! Woke up looking forward to reading this and you delivered across the board! I ordered the mosquito patches and am eyeing that necklace. I really appreciate the no-recipe meal ideas. I have sale round up fatigue, but of course, eagerly await your style guide. Hope Team Atogwe has an awesome summer.

I can't stop reading The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. It's a slow burn suspense/family drama mashup set at a summer camp. Pretty sure it's going to be 5 stars for me!

Oooh, heading to Goodreads to investigate now 🀝🏽
