Hope you are doing well!
Between my birthday and the 4th of July, it was a crazy week and I missed sending out last week’s newsletter. BUT this week we have ALL the good stuff if you’ve missed any of my posts.

I had a wonderful birthday, and bought the Carvel ice cream cake that I have had practically every year since the age of one, and promised myself I won’t be spending $30+ on that 8-inch cake ever again Ultimately, it just didn’t taste worth it. While I’m super bummed, I just can’t justify the price for the value.

We watched the Netflix track documentary, Sprint, and really enjoyed it. We enjoyed watching all the athletes and learning more about them before the Olympics start at the end of the month. Will you be watching the games?
