Hi friends! I hope everyone is having a great beginning to their summer. I’ve been pretty overwhelmed lately, with new house stuff, work stuff, and future wedding stuff. These days I feel like I am always one step away from a nervous breakdown :) But our house is finally starting to take shape\u2014the kitchen is now all fresh, white, and bright\u2014and I think I just need to settle into some new routines here and establish a little structure. That always helps. Anyway, here are some links I found interesting while I was surfing the internet (do people still say that?), trying to avoid thinking about all the stuff I should be doing instead:<\/p>\n

This could be helpful if you are someone who might need to to occasional grab something quick and convenient but you try to follow a particular diet like low carb, vegetarian, Mediterranean, etc.<\/p>\n If you are looking forward to spending time outside in the sun this summer, remember to wear sunscreen! Here’s a list from the LA Times of the best sunscreens to use<\/a>.<\/p>\n There is a solar eclipse coming up later in the summer. Here’s some information about how to see it<\/a>!<\/p>\n
