My Weekend in Photos + An Easy Parmesan Meatball Recipe
Happy Monday! I”m kicking today off with an early morning meeting, followed by some more meetings and I’m trying to get a big project started.

A Day in the Life + What’s Going on this Weekend

Recent Eats + Work Wednesday Wisdom
Happy Wednesday, friends! I was listening to a podcast earlier this week got my wheels spinning.

In fact, it’s…

So, I’m up and ready for the day. The good news: I’m not working today. The bad: I still had to get up early for this appointment. The silver lining:…

Weekend things + A quick and easy meal plan
Happy Monday! I feel more prepared headed into the second work week of 2023. I’m back in my groove (for the most part), and the holidays are far enough behind us to start writing a new chapter for the new year. This weekend was all about taking our holiday decorations down and making way for a fresh, clean house for…

Happy Friday, friends! We’ve officially made it through the first week of 2023. How did everyone do? Did you spend the majority of your wee trying to remember how to log into your computers – and how to actually be a human? Or were you super productive? This describes my week. That was my exact thought on Monday evening. But,…
