The other day, I went back and began reading an old blog of mine (fun fact if you scroll back far enough on my site - you’ll find it!) and I realized I basically was creating the same content (as this newsletter) WEEKLY back in 2017. Every week I would share my weekly FEELS (ex. titled: WEEK 28 FEELS). I wrote every week until… I stopped and never went back and don’t think there was any reason beside life getting busy. I wish I never stopped. It brought me so much joy going back and reading this weekly journal of my life. It was great content - I used to do some really cool stuff.
My current reality = I couldn't write a weekly blog because life is busy - one: kids take away a lot of time and energy! and two: I definitely don’t do enough exciting things on the weekly to even share! But maybe that’s something to change? Recently, I went to Revival 5.0 - thanks Liat! and Kristen from the ten spot spoke about choosing fun and adventure! How to actively bring more fun into our day to day both with my family and on my own… make time to do the things I love and that energize and inspire me. So with prioritizing fun and adventure… above is my MAY MOOD(board).
“twenty years from now you’re gonna wish you more fun. so have more fun” - so while I will continue to stick to my bi-monthly newsletter. I’m revisiting my old blog (circa 2017, pre-kids life) and taking some inspo from it to do more, say yes, and have fun… especially with summer just around the corner!! (please no more rain!!!)
… and now here are a few specific things I am really into right now:
What I’m reading …
One Golden Summer
I am lining up my summer reads and of course I had to start it off the Carley Fortune’s brand new book and it did not disappoint. The way I know I love a book so much is when I find myself sneaking away during the day to read and that was this one. I’m usually a read before bed gal but not with One Golden Summer.
I’m using…
Mini Ceramic Grater Plates
I was recently in Spain and got the prettiest handmade kitchen gadget from Tierra Cocida. It looks like a normal dish with a bit of texture but it's a grater! I’ve used it for garlic, parm, and even fruit. Because it’s ceramic it can go in the dishwasher and oven. I found a similar one made in canada here. It would also make a great hostess gift!
ICYMI -
I made a bunch of really cute custom sticker collages - currently taking custom commissions for June and July, I escaped to Spain and ate lots of tapas on the beach, and celebrated lots of birthdays in the fam!
