Saturday Bloom ☁️
the bites, listening, outfits, orders, and mindset that made my week joyful.
Here is what I cannot perfectly control in the next three weeks: the number of events, the conflicts on the calendar, the forgotten permission slips, the special hairbow I can’t find morning of the recital, the cake order I will absolutely mess up at least once.
Here is what I can choose: how I walk into the room.
I can white-knuckle my way through every party with my phone out, checking the next thing. Or I can put the phone down and watch my kid blow out the candles.
So my goal for the next stretch isn’t to do less or to do it more efficiently. My goal is to be the person at the party instead of the person managing the party. To serve the chaos with both hands open instead of with my jaw clenched. None of this is as serious as my stress wants me to believe. All of it is a privilege I get to be inside of.
I’d rather finish this year delighted than finish it on time.
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!
It’s pool sandwich season!!! There is nothing in this world like a really great pool-side sammie and here is a list of some sandwiches that can serve as a bucket list for me when I’m whipping up lunches for my babies all season long.
These are the trending pics on my Amazon storefront right now and EACH one of them is literal perfection! Also ALL under $50! Go check it out! That lymphatic brush has literally changed my face.
