Links I Love Week 10: Year 2026

Hello from Cincinnati! This time, Henri joined me for the trip, and I chose to drive. It wasn’t the easiest trip, leaving late and driving in the rain, but 100% worth it to have him with me.
On Friday, I stopped by my former French teacher’s classroom to talk to her junior/senior class. She was such a big influence on me that I wanted to thank her in person and, hopefully, spark something in the students. As they left for the weekend, they all received the “tout est possible” cards. Madame Marsh commented that it would be a great lesson to start next week, encouraging them to think about their future and what they want. A great way to kick off the weekend.
Links I Love Week 10
I squeezed in as much family time as I could, seeing cousins, my aunt and uncle, and my sister/brother-in-law and the kids were in town. On Saturday, I had a signing at the bookstore I grew up going to, Joseph Beth. When I saw they were carrying the book, I jumped at the chance to do an event with them. Plus, this is a fun opportunity to see my book-loving niece in her element, picking out books for herself to enjoy.
Also, can I just mention I worked on links ahead of time so I could enjoy family time and be present? Cheers to goals for 2026. Plus, my dad does not know his own wifi password, so this was done via phone hotspot. You do what you have to do!
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.

Diane von Fustenberg shares three life and beauty lessons. I just loved this quote: Love Every Season
“Much like the moon, women also have seasons. The spring of life is when everything is starting, and you like to marvel at each and every thing. Then there is the summer of life, where the fruits of it all are being revealed. In the autumn of life, there are many beautiful colors and lessons. Then you enter winter, which is where I am now. It’s such a luxury to have experienced the other three seasons because aging is such a luxury. It’s beautiful, too.”

Spring is just around the corner. As you know, I have been decluttering. This also makes space for things I truly love in our home. Koala cleaning products were a late 2025 discovery, and I just restocked. Their kitchen spray, hand soap are already house staples, and I just ordered their laundry soap (eucalyptus and rosemary) to try.
