It’s been a crazy last couple of weeks, with lots of driving back and forth from Orlando to Fort Myers — where I’m from. But it’s been fun seeing my family and friends! And now it’s already the end of May?! When did this happen?!
Anyway, I’ve been keeping my eyes on June with a lot of prep for the start of hurricane season and excitement for summer plans — beach trips, cabin plans and all that fun. I’m a huge fan of summer, so I’m hopeful it is busy and memorable 💛
What are you looking forward to this summer? Don’t be a stranger! And if you’re heading to a cool event this weekend you want to share or have any ideas for me, email me here.
Now, let’s get into what’s happening this weekend ⤵️.
Happy birthday 🎂!
If it’s not your birthday, that’s OK. The Milk Mart pop-up market in Orlando’s Milk District is celebrating seven years with a birthday bash this weekend.
Let me tell you, some of the items over 200 vendors are bringing to the event look SO INCREDIBLY COOL. And unique! So if you’re like me and itching to buy something to feel something or want to gift someone with something that can only be found right here, this is for you 🤌.
Memorial Day weekend is here, and many are going to be at the beaches — especially after a week of rain and better weather on the way 🏖️.
But, did you know there are some inland beaches you can visit if you’re not up for the trek to the coast?
