Why the fleeting things in our lives give us so much joy.

There are some great ideas here- how social networks can rebuild online trust.

Being a good person isn’t a steadfast trait. Here’s why that is important.

Read books about black people living their lives, not just about civil rights and racism (although also important!).

My Favourite Pins This Week

I am loving past salads these days – they just seem like such a great summer lunch idea. This is a wondrful one, although I don’t have the been pasta that the original recipe called for, used normal pasta, and it was delicious (although possibly not as high in protein). I recommend! Pinterest link is here, and the full delicious recipe is here.

Chocolate and peanut butter is one of my favourite dessert combos ever, and this delicious dessert is perfect if you are planning some backyard gatherings with your bubble! Pinterest link is here, and the easy, full recipe can be found here.

On those hot days, there’s nothing quite like a really cold lemonade… unless it’s watermelon lemonade, because that’s next-level refreshing. Unless you don’t like watermelon. Which doesn’t seem likely. Try it- I actually prefer watermelon to lemonade, and this is a wonderful version. Pinterest link is here, and the recipe is right over here.

A great summer knit idea is to knit a market bag! lightweight, perfect for cutting down on plastic, and really satisfying to use something regularly that you made yourself. This is a great free pattern that you could easily customize with stripes or all solid, or whatever you like. Pinterest link is here, and you can get the free pattern over here. 

How cute are these little baby dinos! Perfect for stashbusting, and they whip up quickly. I love these, they just look so happy and cheery. Pinterest link is here, and the full pattern is here.

I hope you have a gorgeous weekend, full of amazing weather, a great read, and something delicious. xo
