🍑Lil Treasures #190: Summer Fruits and Alpha Dads
Plus we're discussing butterflies, snapchat and back-to-school shopping
Hello there, friends!
How’s your Friday going? How are you spending these last few days/weeks of summer? As for me, I’m headed out west this weekend for our annual family reunion.
These family reunions are really a sweet time, and I’m excited for the s’mores, hangs and one last celebration of summer before my kids start back school next week (including my youngest little cherub who will be starting kindergarten 🥹).
I strongly dislike summer (it’s been a particularly hot one) and my family tends to thrive on structure, so I am ready for the change of pace, and especially excited for the elimination of the daycare expense from our budget.
All that to say though, send up some prayers for me this week as I get ready to send Baby Cy to school! And for my friends in the rest of the country/world who start back school at a more normal time at the end of this month, I hope these last few weeks of summer bring you the utmost joy!
Here are this week’s treasures:
🏆Next time someone tells you they’re an alpha male, show them this video.
📔It’s time for back-to-school shopping, and my friend Retha Nichole is offering a discount on her SP Circle products! I have used the amazing Sunday Planning Journal for a few years now, and without it I would honestly be swimming in chaos. Use code SCHOOL for 10% off at this link!
🔄Big news friends, The Bible Binge is getting a rebrand! You can now listen to our content under the new name, Faith Adjacent. We’re talking about the rebrand plus digging in to some other Biblical rebrands on this week’s episode!
🌊As always, the beloved
striking gold with this beautiful piece about someone else’s deconversion.🍑I am all for summer fruits being cobblered, crumbled, etc - whatever we need to do to get them ready to pair with a heaping scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. We love the air fryer at my house so I saved this recipe for easy air fried peach crumble so fast!
🐑My creative friend Brett is working on a new film project called Lamb of God. The goal of the film is to shed light on those who have lost ministry communities as a result of acknowledging parts of their identities that don’t line up with their faith community. Brett, having experienced this in his own life, is the perfect person to tell this story in an important way! He is currently raising funds to make this film and I’d love to rally behind him - you can give towards and find out more about the project at this link.
The good Tweets!
Folks, that does it for this week’s newsletter. Don’t forget to drop off your treasures from the week in the comments below before you go! Love youuuuu, bye!
I made the newsletter! I'm so happy! (P.S. Great work, as always. One of my favourite clicks on a Friday, always. xo)
I made something called Tennessee Peach Pudding this week and with vanilla ice cream on the top it was divine. I don’t know what makes it from “Tennessee” but it’s easy and delicious!
