1. I’ve been using this special mouthwash that claims to keep your breath fresh for 24 hours. I bought it once and started using it, and when it ran out, Jennie quietly replaced it on my side of the counter. Since I was the only one using it… I guess that means she prefers me with it, haha.

2. It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no, it’s a backpack with wheels. Honestly, what can’t this thing do? I will have to use it some more to see what I really think, but at first blush, this bag has a lot going for it. It would be especially great for trips involving international destinations where the smooth sidewalks and escalators give way to cobblestones and stairs.

3. Who wears short shorts? My sister bought me a pair of these shorts for my birthday, and at first, I felt naked in 4” split shorts. Now, all my other shorts feel like pants when I wear them. I wish they had a better phone pocket, but they are fun and not crazy expensive.

4. Whatever age you need to be to enjoy a rocking chair, that’s how old I am. 

5. This is a fascinating read on Buc-ee’s. “Paradoxical cultural phenomenon, beloved landmark, bona fide megastore, and bearer of the American spirit, I salute you.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.

6. I have three albums on repeat in my headphones: Oasis for my Soul by Strings & Heart, Song of the Saints by Phil Wickham, and Mt. Zion by Josiah Queen. We’re so excited because Josiah Queen is coming to Movement Conference2026! If you’ve got teenagers—whether in your home or in your youth group—make this part of your summer plans. Four days under the big sky, worshipping and leaning into God’s Word. You’ll come back better, promise.
