a french press morning {volume six}

hi! hope your week is going well… i can’t complain. summer is pretty blissful for me {i know my husband loves ‘summer nelle’} although ‘back to school’ stresses me out pretty much more than anything {august is the one month i loathe more than may.} and knowing i am having a baby in five months is a little stressful – however, i absolutely love being off and i dream about welcoming a hopefully healthy baby boy this winter– all the time. i am truly so grateful for the chance to have several weeks off every summer– even if it makes the beginning and end of the school year super crazy. speaking of stress, yoga & cafe shops have a way of calming me; leaving me so, so relaxed. what about you? what makes you feel relaxed more than anything? so for our coffee tour this month, i decided to venture to noda to spend an afternoon/evening at smelly cat coffeehouse {how amazing is the name?!}.  i saw while sitting there that that day, july 30, is actually lisa kudrow’s birthday… oh, the irony! happy birthday, phoebe buffay!

yea drink coffee- be cool- join us! 

{the link-up will be open until wednesday, august 12- we would love to see where you explored!}

here are some photos from my relaxing visit to smelly cat yesterday:

 loved this fun cat bike rack 

 a fun outdoor area- however, it was 97 degrees with 93% humidity…
so i snapped a few photos and headed straight inside! 

 they have tons of options- including refreshing smoothies! 

 my spot in the house – adore the old doors and coziness of the space 

 smelly cat?

 thinking about starting this book? i wanted to in may and never got to it… probably because at that point, i usually wasn’t awake after 7pm/the sun was usually still out when i crawled into bed. haha
{first trimester struggles!!}
have you read it? 

do you recommend?

 loved seeing this salvaged beauty flyer- especially after just discovering this gem and blogging about it!

 simply love visiting this cafe!
{and i apologize for all the ‘irony comments’ … i think it comes with being an english teacher!}

again, we would love to have you! emily and i hope to compile a list by city of all the coffee shops you all find so if you want to find a cool spot to enjoy a cup of joe, you can find some recommendations! let me know if you have any questions!! 

have a great weekend

any fun plans?
