Notes From the Week

What's on my mind, what I've been up to, another trip, and signs from Buddy

Happy Sunday. This week was… a week. If you follow me on Threads, you already know what’s on my mind. I’ve been quiet on IG, but finally posted something.

Here’s what I’ve been up this week.

Life & Home:

I’m taking my 5 year-old on our first solo trip just days after I get home from California. And we’re going… back to California.

I’ve been trying to tackle little organization projects around the house.
Everyone’s healthy, the girls are back in school, and it’s been nice to slowly get in a groove again.

I got dressed a few times this week, but it’s cold, which is Varley sweatsuit season for me.

I have these sneakers, and just ordered the kids’ version for one of the girls.

Ruggable has a special running right now. We have this in our family room and it’s so soft and easy to clean.

Nothing beats when he finds me for a snuggle, or to tell me what he’s been up to while I work. They told me little boys were different and I didn’t believe them. I was wrong. He’s obsessed with me. I’m obsessed with him. It’s the best.

Work:

It’s been over two years, so I wrote a post on how I lost the weight, kept it off, and how I took control of my health.

I made some updates to my shop and my kids closets.

I updated my 2026 tech backgrounds for January and Valentine’s, and worked on a Substack and blog strategy that I hope will help me feel less scattered when Monday rolls around and I don’t know what I’m working on.

There’s a new podcast episode coming Tuesday. Moving the podcast to biweekly has removed so much stress. I get to do something that I love, but not feel overwhelmed by it.

And I just got another (mini) campaign with The Container Store (my happy place) so that’s something good.

Health:
I only made it to yoga once this week because my knees have been really sore. I also got my period and have been really tired, so I’m moving slowly.

And I got my first sign from Buddy.
