Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week! I had a fabulous few days at the beach with my husband. It was crazy hot but we basically sat on our butts under the umbrella and read all day! What could be better?

We picked up the girls yesterday from camp. It was so good to see them and give them a squeeze. Both are missing camp a lot. It is a big adjustment to come home to real life after a month of friends and fun.  But they are settling back in.

I am really excited about a new promotion I am doing with Lisa over at The Novel Approach reviews.  We are holding a joint event called the Joyful Approach: Countdown to GRL.  Over about a seven week period, we will be hosting 40+ GRL authors across both blogs.  It will be a great way to get to meet some new authors and also to give our readers a chance to check out what goes on at the other’s blog.  As of Saturday night, we had just about filled up all our spots (they went SUPER fast), but if you want more details, check out my post from yesterday explaining how it all works.

So starting mid-August we are going to be super busy here. And of course, we are crazy busy here now (I keep thinking we will have a calm week and it never happens!).  Here is what we have planned…
