🦆Lil Treasures #187: Taking a Duck to Starbucks and Bone Deep Exhaustion

We've got the best of the threads and all the candied croissants your heart desires!

Welcome to Friday, friends! 🪩 We made it.

I have lots of fun treasures and tweets to share from this week, AND let’s all give a warm welcome to our newest member of the newsletter…..threads! 👏🏼

We’ve got lots to cover this week, so get comfy, grab you a snack, and let’s dive in.

This week’s finest treasures:

🥐As if we could make something like a buttery, flaky croissant any better - I give you the candied croissant sandwich!

🥤Andy Squyres does it again with this post about being on tour and how Christ is our home.

🦆I wish I could’ve been the Starbucks employees in the drive-thru line when this adorable pet duck came through.

🕸️ My friend and parenting sage Meredith Anne Miller (I share her thoughts and wisdom from Instagram often and she has been a guest host with me on The Bible Binge “I Kid You Not” episodes) has a new book coming out this August called Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn’t have to Heal From. Meredith has given us a lil treat in that you can read the intro and chapter 1 for free! If you read that and love it, make sure to go pre-order yourself a copy too.

🚫Have you had a chance to watch the new Amazon prime documentary Shiny Happy People? If you’ve gone down that path and need to process through allll the things, listen to this week’s episode of The Bible Binge! We did a Sacred Cinema piece all about the Duggar family, the IBLP, cabbage patch dolls, etc. You can listen here or wherever you get your pods!

💋My friend Erienne who is a lovely person + potions master re-shared this poem dedicated "to the women who save me" and I have not stopped thinking about it and making note of my people all week. I’d love to hear who these women are in your own life!

🐱A prison in Indiana started an initiative a few years ago where they took animals from a cat shelter and paired them with inmates in a local prison to help care for them. The results were extremely heartwarming and here are the pictures to prove it.

Best of Tweets!

Thanks for reading, Lil Swipes! I’ll see you here again next week! Love you, mean it.
