Ever have one of those seasons where everything hits you all at once? First, work picked up big time. Then, surprise! I got summoned — and selected — for grand jury duty for the next four months (yes, months, not days). Talk about "when it rains, it pours," right? Needless to say, I had to hit pause and prioritize like never before. Parenting, wifing, working, healing — it all demanded my full attention. Some things had to wait. And honestly? That’s okay. I'm learning (the hard way sometimes) that giving myself grace and patience is essential, especially when life refuses to stick to the plan. Right now, I’m slowly catching up, taking care of my health (hello imaging, labs, and — lucky me — a colonoscopy 😅), and getting back into the swing of things. (Stay tuned — I’ll be dropping a full blog post soon with all the deets!) I just wanted to pop into your inbox to say: I’m back. Tell me — how have you been holding up lately? Hit reply and let me know. I'd love to hear from you. 💬 More goodness coming your way soon! Big hugs, |

The school year ends and suddenly… we’re supposed to feel relaxed? As if trading backpacks for beach bags magically makes the mental load disappear. Here’s the truth:Most working parents enter “summer mode” still deeply burned out.And summer? It just shifts the type of stress. Now you’re juggling childcare logistics, modified work hours, family trips, and somehow… you’re also supposed to “make memories” and soak it all in? Let’s be honest—downtime alone isn’t the reset we think it is.Because...
How was your Mother’s Day?Did you get even ten minutes of peace? A nap? A decent cup of coffee? Mine was actually pretty sweet.My sister and I made a seafood boil for our mom—with her favorite Dungeness crab legs, piled high. We even tried to make our own boil seasoning… emphasis on tried. 😬 It tasted awful, thank goodness we sampled it before pouring it over everything. Crisis averted. The boil came out perfect in the end.The vegan carrot cake? Not so much. I mean—it tasted great, but it...
