My husband curated a fantastic cocktail menu for our Framily Christmas Eve. He made the simple syrups and spiced the Campari. I created the menu and our friends printed it out.

a nightmare of a morning so far: late to dropping our toddler at daycare who quite frankly doesn’t want to go. People were annoying me on the road, as they do when you are running late. Then, I saw this at a red light. This person will never know how much this car sticker changed the day for me. 🥹

You know that feeling you get when you realize you are reading a book you know is a 5-star read? Yeah, wow. Love that feeling.

Scored Annie Bot at my bookclub book exchange! It’s been on my TBR for so long. First book in a while that hasn’t felt like a chore to start! Very interesting!

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I spent way too much time in my teens and 20s aiming for someone else’s idea of perfection. I can confidently say that the one place I’ve always been sure of what I like is music. Otherwise? I was a blend of anything that someone else liked.

I got my color analysis done to help me shop sustainably and intentionally (and have fun with color in my style!) I had the perfect thrifted sweater waiting for me to wear it! I knew it spoke to me for a reason!
Any other cool winters out there?

Day one of “Moving Bravely Today.”
I am paying attention to how motherhood, grief, and creativity all crash and blend together inside me.
Motherhood asks me to stay soft.
Grief asks me to stay honest.
Creativity asks me to stay open.

Still thinking about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade - from the jump I was in “cry happy tears” mode. 🥹
How do you explain that magical feeling of your toddler snuggled up with you, pointing out Elmo & the TMNT?! While celebrating the fabric of humanness and the music that I loved so much.

Today was perfectly slow and reflective. From moving my body, to a parent-teacher conference, to coffee with a friend, to a persona finance meeting, to picking up my new glasses (very different style!), to walking and talking with my bestie, and phone calls with family - it was a good day. 🫶

8 years since my mom died.
I take off work on my mom’s death anniversary. I call it “Mom’s Day” and spend the day moving slowly and seeking ways to connect with her. It’s another day for me to feel love, grief, nostalgia, and hope and reset away from the world.

wok up at 5:30 with Purple Rain playing on repeat in my head
Our 2 year old’s first favorite song is Purple Rain and it was worth the late bath/bed time to listen to it on vinyl multiple times
