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…..

Hi friends. Shit is just so weird right now. Still going through all the emotions. Stressed. Sad. Pissed off – that I can’t easily get the basics. Not trying to hoard, just need some necessities. Scared of the un-fucking-known. Happy to have more slow time.

Lets all remember to spread kindness. The world needs that shit right now!

Intentions for the Week:

  • Create a new habit – they say it take 2 weeks, and I’ve got that!
  • Stay healthy
  • Find fun ways to move my body without going to the gym
  • Take Charlie for lots of walks
  • Keep a positive mind
  • KonMari my closet
  • Master at-home mani + pedi’s
  • Come up with a tequila + emergen-C cocktail
  • Only purchase what we actually need
  • Work on my skincare

And since I think we all have extra slow time, I rounded up THE best board games. I read the reviews. Did some homework. Gathered a great selection of games all available on Amazon, so you don’t need to leave the house.
