Monthly Musings May 2026-Summer 2026 Preview

 

Whew Besties, here we are at the end of May. We are past Memorial Day so we are unofficially in summer. Are you excited? For May's Monthly Musings we are previewing Summer 2026. 

If you are joining us as a writer for Monthly Musings, please link back to my site here and link-up below. I look forward to finding out whatever has planner for summer and all of the summer favorites.

1. Tell Us About Your Memorial Day Weekend

Despite a very rainy weekend, that is turning into a very rainy week, we had a full Memorial Day weekend. Friday night was more chill and we crashed pretty early. Saturday and Sunday during the day we did house projects as I am working to tranform the upstairs home office into more of a libary/sitting room. It will take some time to clear out all of the clutter but I did give away the desk and a desklamp. Hoping to get this project complete within the next month or so.

Saturday night we went to a party and saw some friends. Sunday we got together with family.

It was a full weekend and I think I even got some rest along the way.

Hello Monday May 25, 2026: Monthly Musings May 2026 Topics

 

Happy Memorial Day Besties. I hope you are having a Good long weekend while also taking time to remember those who have given so much for our country. Since we are at the last week of the month, I wanted to link up with Sarah and Holly for Hello Monday and share the May 2026 topics for Monthly Musings. 

The May topics will be a Summer 2026 Preview. On Thursday we will share all things summer and what your plans are for Summer 2026. This month has been a little challenging and I cannot wait to dive right into summer plans and see what the other writers who join this link-up party every month have on tap for their summers/

See you back here on Thursday!

Monthly Musings April 2026: Spring Flowers, Fashion and Food

 

Here we are at the end of April Besties. We have had some really glorious weather over the last few weeks, but it does not want to seem to stick around. While I can't control the weather, I do host Monthly Musings and for April, this link party is focusing on spring flowers, fashion and food. Let's talk spring.

1. Favorite spring flower?

Honestly, I love them all and get really excited when something new pops up in the garden. Truly, my favorite flowers are peonies and hydrangea. Those were mainly our wedding flowers and they make me the most happy.

Happy Monday Besties! I hope you had the Best weekend. It was a little chilly in our area. I didn't seem to mind it because I was able to get a few things accomplished inside due to the weather. 

As we head into the last week of April I am linking up with Sarah and Holly for Hello Monday. Today I am sharing the topics for the April Monthly Musings. For April we are sharing spring flowers, fashion and food. I hope you will join me back here on Thursday for Monthly Musings as a writer, reader or both. 

Monthly Musings March: Spring Holidays and Fun

 

Typically March feels long after February, but I cannot believe we are at the end of March already. The Best part of the end of the month is that I get to host my link-up party, Monthly Musings. For March, we are focusing on spring holidays and fun. I love spring and I am looking forward to our March questions.

1. Does it feel like spring yet where you are?

Honestly, it depends on the day and the hour. This weekend was a beautiful spring preview and then on Monday it turned super chilly again. I know spring is coming though.

Hello Monday March 23, 2026: March Monthly Musings Topics

 

Popping in on this Monday morning for Hello Monday with Sarah and Holly. I am excited for Monthly Musings coming up on Thursday as we are getting ready for spring! 

Hope you will join me back here on Thursday for Montly Musings as we prepare for all of the spring fun.

Monthly Musings February 2026: Ways We Make Our Weeks Easier

 

Besties, I am really looking forward to the topics for February Monthly Musings. The topic for February is How We Make Our Weeks Easier. No matter what stage of life you are in, I think we all can contribute and learn from this topic. While I am the host for this link-up party, I will definetly be taking notes on the tips that the other writers share.

1. Paper planner, digital calendar or other option?

My answer is all of the above, but they are synched. Running Daddy and I use the Cozi app for our shared family calendar. I use Outlook for work. I have a paper planner that I use to schedule my day from morning to night and also keep my to-do list. The paper planner just helps me schedule my time well and is just really for me. 

It might sound a little crazy but it all works for me.
