1. Golden Books, you know the one from your childhood, is publishing a Betty White Book, promoting it as the perfect introduction to nonfiction for preschoolers. Fun for middle-aged women too! I’m a huge fan of the comedian.  My Little Golden Book about Betty White is available for pre-order and will be published Sept. 28. Check out the Betty White book here. 
2. It’s flower season in the U.S. My mom sent me a link to this fun Instagram account The creator also has a website One Bouquet Per Day with a newsletter. 
3. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can get a Kindle edition of a great cookbook for free. I’m interviewing one of the co-authors, incidentally, this morning. She has a summer home the next town over from me and she’s published a new cookbook about blueberries. Maine is wild blueberry land, if you didn’t know. 
4. Have you had Texas Ranch Water? If you like a margarita, I think you’d like it.
5. Do you need road trip snack recipes? Check out this roundup on Parade.com, which has my Chewy M&M Bar recipe.
