We're talking nachos and 2 plagues
Hey pals!
Happy Friday to you. Weāre back again with the Lil Swipes survey, round 2. Thank you all for being gracious in the midst of the technical difficulties last week!
Itās just. The heat. It makes everything more confusing. Anyway, you can have another go at the survey by clicking below. Donāt forget to leave your email for a chance to win those Amazon dollars!
Letās get to the treasures!
š Here is your Friday dose of Mister Rogers goodness. I hope you find ways to love yourself and others today!
š³Calling all Texans and everyone with good taste: please add this recipe for skillet blueberry peach cornmeal cobbler to your to-make list.
š āāļøFor some light weekend reading, make sure to check out this article about disarming patriarchy in the church by Carolyn Custis James.
š·This weekās episode of the Bible Binge is a special SWDGISS (Stuff We Didnāt Get in Sunday School) on Communion. Iām sure youāve never had a conversation about communion like this before. Listen here to discover the effect of eating the body of Christ!
š„£EVERYTHING IS HOT. I feel it. You feel it. I saw on the news that even the U.K. is melting. Kendra Adachi, the queen of good thinking, decided to do us all a favor and crowdsourced some ideas for non-oven summer meals. If youāre trying everything in your power to stay away from all things hot, youāll want to check out this post!
šÆFor my fellow Parks and Recreation fans, this is the craziest thread about Ron Swanson leading a baptismal procession.

Thatās it for this weekās goodness! Donāt forget to drop those treasures in the comments. I hope you have the most lovely weekend! Stay hydrated bbās.
Two of the most relatable things ever in this newsletter: the kid explaining the game rules (I ALWAYS get the rules wrong and get yelled at...because they are so convoluted she can't even get them straight) and the life-is-a-musical-because-I-break-out-into-song tweet. If you're not singing everytime someone says lyrics, you're living wrong. The most embarrassing episode of this was at the doctor. He came in and was trying to warm his hands before doing some sort of exam where he needed to place his hands on my back. He said "Cold hands." And I broke out into song from RENT. "Yours too? Big like my fathers." It was amazingly awful. I then spent several minutes explaining it was a musical about homeless squatters in bohemian New York and this was the scene where two HIV positive former drug users fell in love while searching for a dropped bag of coke in the dark. "MMMMhmmm" he said. "Sounds like one heck of a musical."
Good morning :) I shared at the end of May that I did not renew my teaching contract and was looking for a new job... well, this week I found it! I will be teaching future educators, and I'm excited! I will also be working with my best friend. Thanks to all who shared your own stories of transitioning jobs earlier this year.
