And just like that, it’s August. July flew by way too quickly. Sometimes, I wish I had a time machine that could slow things down to make summer last just a little bit longer. Since I don’t have such a machine, I simply encourage you to relax for a few minutes and enjoy my July 2022 roundup of sizzling summer blog posts.

This monthly roundup is my way of saying thank you to the blogging community, and featuring some of my favourite bloggers who regularly put out funny, inspiring and informative content.

So find a shady spot, grab your favourite cold beverage and take a few minutes to read these posts. I hope you’ll love them as much as I did. While you’re at it, explore some of the other content from these bloggers and give them a follow. 

Coming up on Boomer Eco Crusader in August

I’m travelling a fair bit in the first part of August so it may be a slow month on the blog. However, I will keep up with my weekly Simple Living Sunday posts, and I plan to republish a couple of older posts. Plus, I have some exciting news. Later this month I’ll be kicking off a new blogging collaboration with some other eco-bloggers. Stay tuned for more information.  

Let’s keep in touch! Join my mailing list and I’ll email you when I add a new post.
