Weekend Reading, 8.16.25 – The Stripe

Happy weekend, friends. I am in Michigan for a quick trip with my boyfriend and his family. I get back bright and early on Monday morning. This week was a busy one before I left. To be honest, I’m struggling a bit with all the travel (just when I feel settled again, it’s time to go somewhere!)… but I’m making it work. I love my routine and am trying to be better about being a little more nimble and flexible and just go with the flow! Trying is the key word! 😉 Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great! Xo
