Hey heyyyyyyyyy,

We made it through another week that brings us closer to the end of the school year! I even got my hair done this week for the first time in about 7 months - it was yellow from our well water mixed with a shit ton of grays in front so I was pretty excited. I don’t have any new pictures with it but my hair dresser NAILED the color (toned it darker - got rid of the yellowing and just added some light here and there for summer). Anyways, it’s the little things that can make a big difference and this week, it was my hair ;)

I moved quite a few of my seedings into the ground this week as well as my planter on the porch. Hoping they don’t all freaking die on me so stay tuned for that.

This week includes a lot of games for the kids (HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MEEEE) as well as some amazing birthdays - My mom/dad born on the same day (!!) and my buddy - Ailsa! I LOVE YOU!

…..here is what I really want for Mother’s Day this year…..

We’ve had a lot of rain here this week and I secretly love the rain. Dark and cozy. I took this picture after I cleaned the kitchen after the morning rush of getting all the kids to school and it was one of my favorite moments this week - listening to the rain pitter patter outside with the windows open.

Hey there — this newsletter is mostly free to read but I do have a few paid posts that go up infrequently. If you’ve found something here that made you think, laugh, or feel a little less alone, consider upgrading to paid. Your support means the world — and helps me justify the time I spend typing instead of folding laundry ;)
