I hope you’re fourth of July weekend is off to a great start! Take some time to think about all the things you’re loving this week. Here’s five of mine…
(1) Zootopia
Last Friday was my turn to pick our movie night movie. I chose Zootopia, my favorite of all time Disney movie. Judy Hopps is my spirit animal. Her energy is just so inspiring.
(2) Jenny read The Giver!
It makes me so happy that Jenny is old enough to read my favorite books. Earlier this week, she asked me if she could read The Giver, and I, of course, said yes!
(3) We made brownies!
I have been using the Nerdy Nummies brownie recipe for years. It is very simple and easy to make. I make them for my family relatively often, though I’ve been making them more often this summer. On Wednesday, Jenny helped me bake a batch.
(4) In Conclusion: A Collection is coming soon!!
More on that next week. By the end of July, I will be publishing my first book, a collection that includes one novelette, three short stories, and about twenty poems. I finished my last round of editing on the novelette this week and this week, I will be finishing the cover and revising/collecting the short stories and poems. I am soooo excited to get In Conclusion: A Collection published!!
