Admittedly, I have a case of the Sunday Scaries with a side of dread for Monday. The trick I always tell Grey is, I'm not anxious, I'm excited! Research shows it does in fact work if you believe it to be true, so I'm going to drum up some mantras as soon as we're...
Do you know what mantra has been really helping me lately? Two things can be true at the same time. Maybe you need to hear that one, too. You can be celebrating mom, and still be sad on this day; for a thousand reasons, or none at all. I hope this finds you with a...
Maybe it's the chocolate covered bread, or one of the best books I've read in a long while; perhaps it could be our favorite series ending, or inspiration as we start a new month. Either way you stack it, this edition of Scrolls is super scrumptious and I can't...
This was one of those weeks. Jon spent a night in the ER with another hand infection (remember when he cut his fingers off? Still hoping they stick after extensive surgery and several hospital trips 6 months later 😩), Gemma got spayed and we had some complications...

I am buzzing with excitement today. Over nothing in particular, and yet everything around us. It's one of those days where you have extra energy and crave doing all the things. But first - let's pour a beautiful mug of coffee and scroll together. We have a jam...
I heard such a smart analogy this week and I couldn't wait to share it with you. What if we looked at our life like a garden: took stock of the soil, the roots, the health of the plants - and pulled the "weeds" that were no longer serving us? Something to think...
Hello, kind friend. I have been so excited to share this weekly windup today. You know that feeling when you finish a good book, the characters are still stuck in your head, and you're wondering what they're doing right now? The Watch It today is that good. So is...
