You guys - this week is wild. Like, packed to the gills. I’m an elementary vice principal so it’s all field day and end of year parties but I’m also a kindergarten mom, so it’s also all kindergarten grad parties and managing the mom feels. My youngest turned one and my middle turned four this month. I’m delivering a keynote at a conference next week, and I’m prepping to go to the statehouse to talk about digital creation in Ohio. I’m writing my dissertation and finishing my research. You guys, I’ve never been busier.

So this addition of Saturday Bloom is dedicated to all the simple pleasures that are calming me down while this month is keeping me wired! Good luck everyone!

You know the Sunday Slowdown, but welcome to the Saturday Bloom.

Here on Substack I’m bringing you the Saturday Bloom. I love to ask my girls the rose (highlight) and thorn (challenge) of their days and here, I want to share the things that contribute to my “rose” of the week. Each week I’ll share 5 quick recs in 5 easy categories:

B: bites L: listening O: Outfit O: Ordered M: Mindset.

I would love to hear your BLOOM of the week too!

This meal is amazing for this time of year becasue you can have it as a dip or as a main dish. So easy and a one-skillet wonder! I love a skillet meal this time of year!
