So far this whole summer I have been extremely busy with my business as well as home life and travel. We haven't had nearly as much rain as I would like during the summer so it is extra hot everyday. Summer isn't my favorite season, but I so far have made it through June and July and remain optimistic. This month has been super crazy starting with the very first week of the month we got new living room furniture finally! I had spent most of June looking for durable, inexpensive, and modern furniture for our 1250 sqft condo. We have very little space so it was of the utmost importance that I get items that would be fitting for a "tiny-ish" home that if my cats destroyed I could replace it easily.

I landed back at the local Ikea (this is where a lot of our new furniture is from) and we ended up getting a modular sectional and rug. I am still trying to work out fitting all of it into this small area, right now we only have the one piece since we couldn't fit all of it in my Jeep so we will be going back for the other two pieces after our vacation. So far we absolutely love the furniture. We all can fit on the couch finally and I can stretch out my bad knees out. And what is most important, I finally got rid of some very old furniture I was holding on to (for sentimental value) from when I had a 9 to 5 job in corporate America.
Looking back at this month I do feel like we had some extreme wanderlust going on. We went out more times than usual in my opinion because my husband had a week off for holiday and we tried
lots of new things. The best thing that has happened this month is that I have been insomnia free for about 9 days now! I have been so happy and energetic and as a result ,I have put up a ton of new
YouTube videos.
