The most lovely Sonoma coast hike followed by a tailgate picnic with cheese, crackers, jamon, fruit, and bubbly = 10/10 my favorite Jan. 1st ever. 🤩

2019 was the year of BIG change (2018 and 2017 were, too, come to think of it)—moving to California, traveling more than ever, sustaining a value-based and profitable (🎉) business. I have a feeling we won’t be slowing down much in 2020, and I’m just fine with that. 😉 I used to hate the notion of “resolutions” because it seemed too demanding and restricting, but there actually are a few things I would like to resolve to do next year: notice when I’m judging myself and others, practice grace especially when I don’t feel like it, rely less on productivity to determine my mood/worth/mindset, and unapologetically follow my intuition. And always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge. Ya know, in case there’s a celebration to be had. 🥂 Have the happiest new year!

It’s a wonderful life, truly. Wishing you a bright and warm and joy-filled day soaking up the messiness and imperfections just as much as the slowed-down moments, tender conversations, big laughs, crunchy wrapping paper, clinking glasses, and all the mixed emotions that make this day (and season) so special. I’m spending the week in Austin with my in-laws before meeting some of my family in Denver for a quick weekend trip for my sis’s 30th birthday, and I’m kinda loving that I get to be with all my people this week. (Minus Piper, who I know is not a person but is at camp and I’m missing her terribly. 😭) I’ve had tough Christmases and good ones, and overall, this one’s a good one. However you’re spending today, I hope you feel treasured and loved, because you are very much! 🤎❤️🤍

Finally (finally!) just put together our wedding photo album after well over a year of marriage, and I am in tears looking back through these moments. I will cherish these memories and photographs forever (especially those black and white ones that are somehow so so extra special). This day will always mean more than I can even explain. And I wish there was an album that could hold all 400+ photos our incredible photographer @gloriagoodephoto took, but that would cost like $763 (at LEAST), so a 30-page print album and posting them to instagram bit by bit will have to do for now. I love this life. 🤍

Another weekend of exploring, wine tasting, church, rest, ramen, house cleaning, a bath for Piper, and a little work in the books. Aka, my perfect weekend??? Also, I don’t ever want to take off these boots. Ever. The end. Happy Monday and HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK! The holidays are here and I am so very happy about it. ☺️✨

In honor of turning 28, I decided to write down 28 things you may or may not know about me... 🎉🥂

Last day as a 27 year old wasn’t so bad. Looking forward to 28. ☺️

Never not channeling this moment. ✨ This week has been full and fast and a bit overwhelming. I found myself complaining... a lot. Even as I sat with John last night enjoying a glass of wine. I listened to myself saying I don’t feel confident in some parts of my business and my body hurts and I’m busier than ever and our dog has been horrible lately and, and, and. And there will ALWAYS be things to complain about when we pick apart the details of our lives. But big picture? When I look at all the good that fills up my days—even the smallest things like morning walks and working in my coziest sweats and sipping my Nespresso as I chug away at my dreams—and all the opportunities I’ve been able to pursue, it’s like, holy shit. What am I even stressing about?! As T Swift would say, you need to calm down. So here I am, calmly and contently working on a Saturday but grateful to be able to and knowing this isn’t a weekly norm. (AND, also pretending I’m sitting poolside with a floppy hat and jalapeño margarita, for good measure.) Happy weekend to you. ☀️
