You guys, I stumbled on a Cup of Joe blog post titled: What’s The Most Beautiful Place You’ve Ever Seen?

I don’t want to admit how much time of my day I spent reading the comments on this post. It’s hands down one of the most dreamy threads I’ve ever been stuck on. Day dreaming. Wanderlust. All the new places I MUST go and MUST see. They way people describe these destinations is unreal.

If you have a lot of time to kill – Read it here: Comment Section

It got me thinking…..

Where is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been?

It’s a toss up. Other than Mexico, I have never left the country. Sad, right? But I have seen some places right here in the US that blew my damn mind.

It’s so nice to be back. While stepping away last week to mute + learn. I’m sure we can all agree, it’s been eyeopening in so many ways. Although I wasn’t very vocal online, I can promise you that offline, there were many, many conversations had. A lot of reading. So much learning. I truly believe I can do better and that starts at home.

Intentions for the Week:

  • finish off my final 3 days with no added sugar
  • buy a nice bottle of chardonnay for Thursday to celebrate 10-days of no added sugar
  • delete old photos + videos on phone
  • paint my nails
  • get good sleep
  • hit 15,000 steps per day
  • help Bay complete her 4-H record book
  • Peloton app 2x
  • clean out the downstairs closet
  • prep for a yard sale this Sunday

Highlights from the weekend…..

Thursday night Bailey wrapped up her 8th grade school year with a virtual promotion. Crazy proud Mama right here!

I left my heart in San Francisco 🎶
A day in the Bay with my Baes ❤️

Ocean Beach. Sutro Baths. Union Square. Chinatown and the Marina. We hit all our favorite spots in the city. It was a fun weekend.

Somehow I woke up pumped to start the week. Here’s to making a new routine.

Intentions for the Week:

  • Figure out the new Weight Watchers plans
  • Try a new air fryer recipe

  • Have Bay Bake something fun + festive for the blog
  • Pick up everything for my Christmas Table (velvet ribbon is hard to find)
  • Grab a coffee and walk the arboretum on a lunch break
  • Delete old photos from my phone
  • Find a fun Christmas pillow for my bed (I’m decorating my room too…lol)

This week on the blog: I’ll be sharing some sale finds. Dedicating a whole post to Bay’s new GreeLight debit card, because it’s that good. I have an Old Navy Try-On, because I keep popping in and finding new + cute things. I have a green jacket styled 4 ways that will be coming too!
