Saturday Bloom ☁️

the bites, listening, outfits, orders, and mindset that made my week joyful.

I love this! Sometimes we just need a little kick in the pants you know??

A programmer and writer who goes by Loopy, on the difference between preparing to do it and actually doing it:

"Things that aren't doing the thing:

• Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Fantasizing about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing.

• Reading this essay isn't doing the thing.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing."

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 week is full of nesting and feeling about 49 weeks pregnant so I’m ALL about the crockpot meals right now! This one is just delish and easy to start before heading for work.
