Scrunchy mom summer, snack edition 🍉

We just made this and I’m never eating plain watermelon again.

Fresh watermelon + lime + salt + black pepper = actual electrolytes. Potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, sodium — and the pepper helps your body absorb more of it.

No powder. No dye. No ingredient list you need a chemistry degree to read. Just a cutting board and 30 seconds.

It sounds weird. It’s not. Try it and then come tell me I’m wrong 👇

This summer’s theme is “Unearth a Story,” and EVERY library around us is running a free Summer Reading Program — storytimes, performers, fossil digs, dino crafts, and prizes all summer long. It costs nothing, it keeps the kids reading till August, and somebody else does the activity planning. 🙌

I put together every area library’s full schedule — sorted by town — plus an interactive map so you can find your closest “dig site” 👇

🦕 TULLAHOMA — Lannom Library: Dino Excavation, Make a Volcano, puppet shows & a Water Day finale (first 250 sign-ups get a free tote!)
🦖 WI******ER — Franklin Co.: Monday Madness performers + dino storytimes, ending with a swim party
🦴 LYNCHBURG — Moore Co.: Dino Adventure, Dino Bingo, a Lego contest & a dino dig
🫧 SHELBYVILLE — Bedford Co.: Monday Madness, a Foam Party & “Meet Me At” Fridays
📚 MANCHESTER — storytimes Wed & Thu (at the Admin Plaza while the building’s under maintenance)
🚧 FAYETTEVILLE — Lincoln Co. went its own way with “Readers Under Construction” — kickoff June 13 with a Touch-A-Truck!

On May 26, 2026 Coffee County Mayor Dennis Hunt will present to the Coffee County Regional Planning Commission a proposed 180 day moratorium on all data center reviews. This moratorium proposal will then be presented to Coffee County’s Legislative Body at their June 9, 2026 meeting, regardless of the Planning Commission's recommendation. The rural residents of Coffee County have legitimate concerns regarding data centers. The prerequisites and specific minimum requirements for data centers in these areas should be reviewed and implemented. Any proposed changes recommended by the Planning Commission to our zoning resolution will then need to be voted on by the County Legislative Body. Recent publicity regarding these large scale data centers have left us with more questions than answers.

Six years ago today, Tullamama became a mama. 🤍

And whew… what a wild way to start motherhood. Going from 0 to 2 babies in the middle of a pandemic felt a little bit like being handed the keys to a manual car I absolutely did not know how to drive. 😂

I look back now at that first-time mom version of me with so much grace. She was learning, stretching, surviving on prayers and cold coffee, trying so hard to do everything “right.” And somewhere along the way, motherhood softened me, strengthened me, humbled me, and matured me in the sweetest ways.

Motherhood has been the sweetest sacrifice. The loudest, messiest, holiest kind of love.

There’s truly nowhere else I’d rather be and nothing more important or lovely I could spend my life doing than raising these babies.

And one day, when I’m an old Granny Smith sitting in a quiet house, I know I’ll miss the noise and chaos with my whole heart. But I’ll also know I soaked up every second I possibly could… and somehow it still won’t feel like enough.

Today I’m just thanking God for the greatest gift He’s ever given me: motherhood. 🤍
