It’s the last Friday of August, and with Labor Day here, so I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite products I’ve tried recently with this Friday Faves, Labor Day Edition post. I love the idea of sharing Friday favorites and hope to make it a weekly thing here on the blog.
If you follow me on social media, you may have caught my recent post about the film God Bless Bitcoin. The overall consensus was, most of us don’t know much about BitCoin. One follower even said the idea of BitCoin scares her. In an effort to better understand this type of currency, or crypto currency, I had the opportunity to interview the producers of GodBless Bitcoin for today’s post.

The first full week of spring has passed and in some parts of the U.S. gardening is in full swing! Seedlings are ready to be planted, the second wave of flowers and trees are in bloom and I am ready to get started! I know better though, since I live in gardening zone 7b (Nashville, TN. area), which means a few more frigid nights before planting can begin. To help pass the time, I’ve been reading two books on vegetable gardening, which I’ll share with you today along with a giveaway for each.

It may surprise some, but I’ve made it to my 50s and never explored wines. Sure, I’ve had the occasional glass of celebratory wine but never cared enough to explore the many nuances that come with being a wine drinker.

If you are a novice wine drinker, or just like learning more about wines, read on.
Happy March friends! Did you know that March 23rd is National Puppy Day?

I couldn’t show up empty-handed, and as luck would have it, I was offered some useful dog supplies I’m excited to share. I even have a fun pup movie giveaway!
