How to get FREE Books!
Hello, my lovely!
So we're getting comfy here in Florida and decided to stay another week before we head north. We've been doing more kayaking and eating out and just enjoying being with family. But adventure awaits us soon! I can't wait to visit some more National Parks.
Get ready for lots of travel content. First up is my newest post -- check out our RV Reno! It was this ugly brown thing before, but we put a lot of sweat into it and made it bright and beautiful. See an in-depth tour next week -- I'll be sending out a special mini newsletter to show the inside of our new home on wheels!
Shop Update: Still focusing on the blog means less focus on the shop, but I am adding a few new listings every week, take a look at what's in store.
The newest listing in the Printables store is an Ultimate Stationery Bundle. Half the price if you were to buy all the stationery in the shop!

With Love, Melissa Blog Newsletter, Vol. 43 (6/18/24) The Long Drive Home & What We Found There! Hello, my lovely! So we are finally home! I took a couple month break from the blog since we packed a lot of sightseeing and moving research into that time.
