🪲Lil Treasures #135: Jenna Maroney and Beautiful Summer bugs
We're talking subway sandwiches and a chance to win some free stuff!
Hey friends,
I hope your Friday is going swimmingly so far! Since we are smack-dab in the middle of the summer, I thought I’d take this chance to get a gauge for how you’re feeling when it comes to this community. I created a Lil Survey for all subscribers of The Swipe Up (both free and paid subscribers) in hopes to gather some feedback from your brilliant minds and help serve this platter of tweets, treasures and thoughts in the best way possible. It’s pretty quick and easy, and if you do fill it out you can enter your email for a chance to win an Amazon gift card!
I know Prime Day is behind us, but hopefully you can still score some good deals. Thanks a million for your thoughts and opinions, pals!
PSA: The survey was experiencing some technical difficulties, but we will bring it back next week! Thanks for your patience.
Let’s do some treasures, shall we?
☀️ We’ve made it to the middle of July, and this pretty much sums up my current feelings about summer.
🩺 Please take a few minutes and read this article in Parents by the wise and wonderful Danté Stewart. Danté writes about the overturn of Roe V. Wade, and what that looks like for healthcare from the perspective of a black husband and father.
🦷We all love a good post-wisdom teeth removal video. This one made me cackle.
📼My new friend Zach Lambert is the pastor at Restore Austin in TX, and he graciously asked me to be a part of their Summer Mixtape series. You can listen to the conversation/sermon from July 3 here!
🌈This week, I finished up the fourth and final post in the affirming theology series over in the Swipe Up+. If you’d like to get a chance to read through it before it gets lost in the archives, you can do so by subscribing here! If you you’d like to come explore the world behind the paywall, it’s $6 a month to be a part and gives you access to bonus content and any studies I release, plus a few extra perks. If you don’t have the funds or just want to read this particular series, send Hannah and I an email at hello@erinhmoon.com and we’ll get you VIP access.
🥪This thread about a Subway sandwich enraptured me.
🎧I got to be a part of Alli Worthington’s podcast for the Smart Girl Summer series, where we talked about how to be kind and curious about life. You can listen to the episode on Apple podcasts at this link or wherever you access your pods!
Time for Tweets!

Hello, everyone!
This is finals week and I have one paper to write before tomorrow and then another semester is in the books! I always stress out right before I write a paper but I have my sources, an outline, and a keyboard awaiting me. So, let's do this!
My boyfriend is taking his test for his CDL Class A license on Monday at 8:00 so if you think of it, please send love, or virtual cookie cakes, and thank you in advance! If he gets past the test, then he gets to come home hopefully for a week or so before on to the next leg of training.
My treasures from this week are:
-This post written by my fellow Iowan, Kirsten Kobez du Mez has me thinking seriously about what to say and not to say, both in media and in real life. https://kristindumez.substack.com/p/to-play-the-game-or-not-to-play-the
-This Etsy store, New Horizons Vintage made me smile, especially a poster of a girl reading which I bought for myself.
-Riding my bike and taking nature walks have been good for my soul and remind me of my strong self.
I have been reading so much this summer and it has brought me joy. I just got 'Marilla of Green Gables' from the library, and I'm hoping to read it after I finish 'Jane Eyre'. I'm generally not one to look for books outside of the original series but Sarah Bessey liked it and my mom brought it home, so we'll see!
Have the best weekend available to you! :)
