The Sunday Scoop 3

No Comments

BotanicGal here with your weekly round up of readings and ramblings. It’s March 11 today and if you’re the rounding up type (that’s me) then we’re basically halfway through March! And today is the first day of daylight savings so we’re finally getting more glorious sunlight too. Has anyone else started seeing the crocus flowers reaching up through the winter sludge and almost getting ready to bloom? I’m waiting with baited breath! I think spring is really right around the corner. Hooray! I have to start by asking how everyone thought the Bachelor Finale went this week. My hugest complaint was […]

And somehow here we are at Sunday again. Who else is mentally gearing up to head back to work tomorrow? I will admit, work is not my favorite thing…so I get the Sunday grumps a lot. But I’ve been determined lately to not let work interfere with my weekend free time and I try not to think about it until Monday AM (Monday grumps are totally ok). I think it’s important to try and compartmentalize work time from home time and keep my mind on the present when I’m not there so that I can enjoy that minimal freedom time […]

The Scoop

Happy Monday friends! Did you think “scoop” was in reference to ice cream? I wish! But it’s not. I’m sadly trying to avoid ice cream right now, or sugar in general actually. So what it’s really referencing is my weekly conglomeration of readings that I thought you might like to read too. Since I know it can be hard to get back in the swing of things on Mondays I thought maybe having a picture of pretty flowers and some entertaining reads could be useful. Especially now that the olympics are done. Is anyone else bummed over that? And also […]

Friday Fun

It’s finally Friday (woo!) and I finally have some time to do another “Friday Fun” links roundup! It’s certainly a broken record statement, but dang this year is going fast. I can’t believe we’re halfway through June! I’ve been rounding up (aka: hoarding) these links for awhile and have had good intentions of sharing but, ya know, life. Perhaps you’ve already seen some of these, but I’m sharing regardless ? even if they are old news. I have always had a penchant for all things retro…Enjoy! First Things First Eeee!! The little bumble-Beys could be arriving any day now! The twitter-verse […]

Friday Fun: Fertility Edition

No Comments

(Image Source: the talented courtneymprivett on Instagram, her blog is here. So creative!) Hooray! We made it to Friday! Since it’s National Infertility Awareness week I thought I’d share some of my favorite finds from throughout the week to entertain you that are related to this topic (and a few that aren’t 🙂 because I can’t forget to mention the funnies). This is a wonderfully written article on normalizing infertility. Many people don’t realize that the need to use donor eggs in some IVF cycles is a very real and necessary thing for some couples. This article gives insight what it’s like […]

I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite finds from around the interwebs as a little Friday pick-me-up, a push to get through the last few hours before the weeeekend! It’s a little smorgasbord of content for you to feast your eyes on. ? Check out what grabbed my attention this week: This is just too cute not to share. Does anyone else love squirrels and miniature things??  I also love goats. And I especially love jumping goats. I’m just going to assume you do too and share this little funny. Here’s another funny. I admit I identify with a […]
