Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour Jamie Ivey podcast. I'm your host Jamie and

I'm so excited that you're here. Each week I invite a girlfriend to join me on the show

and we chat about the big things in life, the little things in life and everything in between.

Y'all it is summer and I hope that you're loving it so so much. Before we get to our show

today you are going to want to get out and invite people over to your home. Heck you might even

here. Guys thank you to Noon Day Collection for sponsoring these book clubs this summer. They're

still time to get in the July one. We start reading really soon. Jamie Ivey dot com slash book club
