A third blog post in one week? Who is she? I had some time to put my brain back together over the last week, which means you guys are getting CONTENT! It helps that I can work on blog posts while watching the Olympics, because I am an insane person when it comes to the games. As I type this, I am watching the replay of the Women’s 20K race walking event. There is no sport in the games that I won’t watch.
So be prepared for lots of posts through the rest of the games, and I promise I’ll get back to reading my way through my Olympic-sized TBR soon!

Notes on July
July, like every month in the summer, was super busy. In my case, that was largely because I spent nearly a week in Stockholm! The trip was for a work conference, but I was able to stay on for a few extra days to explore the city! For me that means eating some great food, strolling through museums, and hopefully able to see some of the regions nature.
If you’ve never read a Rick Steves travel guide, I cannot recommend them enough! The internet is super useful (obviously) for planning trips, but his guides give a truly stellar overview of a city/country and let you know about stuff that might fall through the cracks. They are also fabulous guides for restaurant ideas and have small maps to follow in case your GPS fails while abroad.
