Hello hello and Happy New Year! I really have such a good feeling about this coming year and I hope you are feeling the same! Will and I are starting the year with our first ever “just us” trip where I’m not pregnant and I cannot wait to sit in the sunshine, needlepoint, and have an uninterrupted conversation for the first time in approximately six years. 🙂

This was also an exciting week because I pressed publish on my new Substack! I’ve been craving a slower, more intimate space to share motherhood musings, personal works in progress, and household favorites and I’m excited to finally bring it to fruition! I’ll still be posting Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday here on my blog, and then a free Substack post every Tuesday there and a paid essay-style post every other Thursday. Would love to have you join me there if you’re interested!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and optimistic start to the year ahead! xx
