Noted: July (Over a Cuppa)

Posted on August 2, 2026August 3, 2026 by Melissa

Hi, Hey, Hello! Thank you for joining me this weekend! How the heck are you? Somehow, an entire two weeks have sped past me since I last wrote in the space (or even opened up my computer)! Apologies for falling off like that but life has been full and I’m sure you understand 🙂 While…

Currently: October 2025

Posted on October 17, 2025April 15, 2026 by Melissa

As the world sped up and I simply tried to keep up with it all, I almost forgot how to keep up here with regular check ins about the simple pleasures in life. Silly me. And so, this is me, dipping my toes back into the currents with a brand new mid-month check in after…
