As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m taking a short social media break for my sister’s wedding this weekend. Before I come back online in full force, I wanted to share one more Reading Roundup with you this week.
I don’t know about you, but on short weeks, sometimes you need even more inspiration than normal, right? If that’s the case, here are a few things I’ve read in recent weeks that will help you finish the week strong and hopefully get your creative juices flowing:

P.S. Since I’m on a social media vacation, I won’t be responding to comments right away. Rest assured, I will read every one of them, so don’t be shy about starting the conversation without me! And don’t forget to let me know what you think about this kind of post. I’d love to know if you’d like to see this type of post more often.
