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.
It is HOT today!
My classes ended last week (two A's!!) but this week has been busy. My boyfriend passed his CDL training course and all he needs is a copy of his new license to start the 13 week over the road training! He has most of his stuff at his grandma's but my upstairs apartment in my parents house will now contain us two, a cat, 4 fish, and 4 snails. T's and P's for a smooth transition that has gone unbelievably well so far.
My treasures:
-I saw the season's first goldfinch and now I smile whenever I hear it singing.
-I made some homemade chocolate chip cookies this past week and was quite proud of how smoothly it went.
-I had a lovely conversation with a new friend about faith and deconstruction/reconstruction.
-Never underestimate the power of a quiet morning to be a balm to the soul.
-This last one is huge. I have agoraphobia, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder and my mom and my boyfriend were out of town on the same day, and I did NOT, I repeat NOT freak out!!! I am so proud of myself!!! My boyfriend is back in town and my mom will be back tomorrow. :) :) :) :) :)
Have the coolest and best available weekend everyone!
It was a great week! I am just now getting to the newsletter. Both kids had church camp stuff and yesterday my daughter and I had a great day just the two of us. The morning was her infusion (she has ulcerative colitis) and then we got lunch and spent the rest of the day shopping. But sadly this morning my son woke up stuffy, had a cough and small sore throat, with him being in church camp all week I decided it best to test and of course he has covid. This will be his 3rd time....yup THIRD!!! Send prayers and healing our way please!
