Happy June 1st! June is my favorite month! The real start of summer, my birthday (hint, hint, this coming Wednesday), Strength and Sunshine’s birthday at the end of the month, and just various real summertime vibes and events! I’m just hoping that with June, we really see the summer sunshine (it has been majorly lacking!) One can not fully enjoy summer freedom when you’re stuck inside all day, eh?
Beyond that, I survived a week of dog-sitting (not a fan), zero Memorial Day events (rainy cold day), but we did celebrate my mom’s birthday (all with the famous homemade ice cream cake of mine). We’ll be having another short week here on Strength and Sunshine next week. I’ll be posting on Monday this time, but not Wednesday (my birthday). I’m taking the day off, but don’t worry, I’ll bring out the traditional Funfetti recipe later in the month!
