Hello, Monday.

I’m back on the road again with a weeklong trip to California. Some north, some south, some work, some fun. Balance, exemplified. It meant that this past Saturday was crammed with all the pre-trip to-dos, which of course take priority over everything else (except our outing to see Mamma Mia!). Such as it is.

Little B is watching Crawley, which hopefully is going to go better than it did a few weeks ago when I went to Nashville. He is the main reason I just hate leaving the house at all. Little squidge.

Anyway, not much caught my eye this week. When I have a trip looming at the end of the week it tends to be hard to focus on anything else. Still, a few nuggets:

As summer travel is about to kick off, here are a few tips and tricks that Google Maps can offer that you may not have realized.

Thinking of doing a clothing subscription this month. Do you have a fave? I’ve been thinking about this one. Closet needs a refresh.

Cinco de Mayo is coming up, and I’ve got your potluck menu here.

ICYMI- this week’s citrus margarita!

Are we no-churning yet?

Have a great week!
