This has been a great week of spending time with friends before we leave El Paso! Everyday has held special moments with cherished friends that I will hold in my heart forever. Well…everyday except yesterday which was spent with a sick little girl on the couch.
The kids are looking forward to a going away party with their friends at a nearby park this afternoon.
Saying goodbye to our friends here is teaching me to seize the moments we have with our loved ones and the importance of letting them know what they mean to us while we can. It’s also confirming my love for community!!
I am so excited to share five faves with you this week!!
I was so excited when I received word this week that I was accepted to be a part of the first ever Fair Trade Friday blogging team!!! Fair Trade Friday is a monthly membership club that delivers high-quality fair trade items that provide employment to women all over the world. Fair Trade Friday is also a ministry of Mercy House Kenya, which I am so proud to support! As a member of the Fair Trade Friday blogging team, I look forward to introducing you to some of the fair trade items available through the membership and to telling you about Mercy House Kenya. You can look forward to much more about this throughout the summer.
Voxer is a walkie talkie like messenger app that I just stared using this week to chat with friends and groups of friends. With Voxer you can talk, send texts, and send photos. I love that you can listen to voxer live as a message is being sent or you can listen later when it’s more convenient for you. Here’s a video where you can learn more about Voxer and how it works. I love it so much I really with all my friends were on it!! If you’re on Voxer, you can find me there at username dailydwelling. I’d love to chat!!
I just finished Left Neglected last night and I absolutely loved it!!! Left Neglected is by author Lisa Genova, whom you may know from the bestselling book turned to movie, Still Alice. All of Lisa Genova’s books seem to be about people struggling with neurological diseases and disorders. Her books are incredibly fascinating to read and this one was no exception. In Left Neglected a stressed, career-driven suburban mom suffers a traumatic brain injury from a car accident that erases the left side of her world. In recovering from her illness and embracing a slower pace of life, she finds happiness and peace that she wouldn’t have imagined in her hectic pre-accident world.
The Popcast is a podcast all about pop culture that my husband and I both enjoy listening to. It is hosted by Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden, who are hilarious and always right on in their commentary. They discuss celebrities, trends, TV shows and movies. They also have an e-book available called Binge Watch Like You Mean It that just cannot disappoint because these two know their stuff!
I love updating my computer with pretty desktop wallpapers. I love this June calendar wallpaper by Dawn Nicole Designs!!! It will reside on my desktop come June 1 and I can’t wait!! She also has an 8×10 June Calendar printable available for download.
Thanks for joining me for another 5 on Friday!!! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
