Links I Love Week 30: Year 2026

It has been good to be home! June and July, we were on the go, traveling a lot, and I have no big plans to go anywhere anytime soon. I can’t wait to tackle home projects and work projects. Henri has been by my side since I returned, and I am soaking up every minute with him.
This weekend, it is Auntie Camp. My niece, nephew, and my sister are in for the next few days. Our list of activities keeps growing. We have plans to see Toy Story 5, cook, and play games at home.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.
