Happy Friday!!! I have a few posts on the go right now, but none of them are quite ready to be published yet, so here is some information I’m dying to share with the rest of the world!! We have a fun weekend ahead of us because we’re celebrating my niece’s 1st birthday tomorrow! I can’t wait. I’m finishing up the cake tonight, and with any luck, it’ll look like this:

Wish me luck that the icing works out!!!

Here are some fun links I’ve seen around the web this week.

• Cover reveal and excerpt from TJR’s newest book coming in June 2017!! I can’t wait to read this book. Her books are amazing to me. This one sounds good!

• I’m still all over Gilmore Girls and I loved this post about books the author would recommend to characters in Stars Hollow. 

• I’m hooked on Better than Before, Gretchen’s Rubin’s book about habit building. This discussion about loopholes was especially fascinating (and relatable!) to me.

• Some fun homemade gift ideas in this post.

• Loved these ideas for post-election reading.

• I turn to these children’s gifts guides every year.  

• Learned a few new ones on this list of computer shortcuts.

• I may or may not know that one of my Christmas gifts is an instant pot (I’m so excited!) and I’m already pretty hooked on finding recipes. This site is a good one.  

• Mindfulness in real life. 

• My kids are still a bit young for these prompts, but I LOVE this.
