The May 2026 Edit

What I've been reading, what I'm eyeing, and what I'm looking forward to this month

May 04, 2026

Hey friends! Happy May! 🌺

April was a doozy — we had a wonderful weekend trip to Tuxedo Falls, celebrated Winston with a bucket list before saying goodbye to our best boy, and then adjusting to a new normal. Between all of that, I did get to try a couple of new-to-me spots, took a day trip with David & Ruthie, and took time to grieve and reset.

May is a month full of celebrations for birthdays, crossing off some bucket list items, and continuing to find things that spark joy! I hope you will do the same.

xx, Meghan
