Hi First name / friend!
 
My husband and I are heading to Louisville for the weekend to hit up that Bourbon Trail and we are so excited about a change of pace, some time together, and there is nothing quite like a road trip am I right? 
 
I'm realizing that grabbing these few moments of escape and taking a chance to reset before the long week starts is something we don't do enough of. 
 
I love that saying - don't let yesterday take too much of today - but what if we also challenged ourselves to not let next week take too much from our weekend. 
 
Take some much earned rest friends. 
 
Such love for you all. 
Em✨
 
p.s. check out reader spotlight! I would love to feature you!

  1. Lately I've become OBSESSED with popcorn! It really is the ideal snack. Click here for some out of this world popcorn balls
  2. I always seem to cook more in the fall and winter and this blew my mind.
