If You and I Had Coffee

If you and I had coffee...

We'd meet up at one of our favorite local coffee shops, located right in the heart of downtown, surrounded by a variety of cute shops. We'd debate whether to stay and enjoy our drinks (it's scorching outside) or take them to go and walk around the area. Perhaps we'll stop by a few shops and pick up some goodies. 

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I'm so sad that summer break is almost over. The month of July is rushing on by. I can't believe it's nearly August. The boys will be back in school soon, and I'll have to go back to work. I have mixed feelings about that, but I do have plans for the new school year, and I'm feeling hopeful.

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I may be a little bummed that summer break is over, but I am excited that fall is almost here. Many of my favorite shops have already unveiled their fall displays or announced that they will release their Autumn collections in August. I already have my eyes on a few things. I'm so excited to find a new centerpiece for our dining room table. I think I may buy a candelabra and use these cute candles I purchased a few weeks ago. I'm so ready for cooler weather and can't wait to use my simmer pot kits.

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I've read so many great books. I recently finished reading 31 Days of Spooky by Harper Celebrate, and it made me even more excited for Halloween. This was a great collection of short, spooky stories. I also read A Rebellion of Care: Poems and Essays by David Gate. 10/10 highly recommend this one. I also read and enjoyed Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green and Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon. I've read several other books, but these are the ones that really stuck with me.

I've just started reading "The People's Project" by Saeed Jones and Maggie Smith. I'm really excited to dive into this one. I'm also currently reading Girl Warrior by Joy Harjo, which has been a real treat. 

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I'm going to try to get back to meal planning. This will ultimately save us time, money, and help us reduce waste. Plus, I really love the idea of trying new recipes or switching up a few of our go-to meals. I especially want to improve my lunch choices, especially since school will be starting back soon.

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I'm glad we were able to catch up this month. I can't believe the month is almost over, and we (I mean I) definitely cut it close to meeting up for our coffee chat. As always, it's been fun catching up. I hope you continue to enjoy the last few days of July and savor the rest of summer. See you next month!

What would you tell me?

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...
