2025: FEB 24 - MARCH 2
three things from the week 💖
this was a long, hard week. physically, mostly. i had activities each night this week, which is not something i typically do. i really try to prioritize rest because i know how it feels to operate in stress all the time + never want to live like that again.
but like my husband reminded me— this was a rarity. not all weeks will be like this one. all the things i did were with friends + family, so i count them as blessings.
it all caught up with me on saturday afternoon, after i got home from my second baby shower of the day. i was physically spent. on top of everything else, jackson has been super sick all week and was still running a fever this morning. i’m taking the day to rest + recharge before a busy workweek.
i want to post a weekly recap on substack, but it remains to be seen if i can follow through with this. finding time to sit down + write is not easy these days, but i’m going to try.
these recaps will be like my weekly musings on wildbloom, but maybe different topics or links or whatnot.
THE CHAMPIONS 🎧
i have been listening to this audiobook for over a week now. normally i would have breezed through it in two days, but i am savoring every word. hear me when i say this though: it is not a perfectly written book; it’s merely a YA book about high school students. what it is though is a book by an author who knows how to write a good YA book — think of it as a cross between riverdale + veronica mars. (if that sounds interesting, read the first book: the cheerleaders. it was one of my favorite books of 2021.)THE HEARTBREAKER 🥤
this is my favorite drink from swig! it is dr. pepper, blackberry, coconut, + half & half. i am constantly seeing different tiktoks of women claiming certain foods/drinks increased their milk supply. while i know it’s basic supply + demand, i take it upon myself to research these claims for no reason other than simple enjoyment. the most recent video claimed dr pepper increased a mom’s milk supply, so i am on a dr pepper kick now. (i’m normally a diet coke girlie, but i can get down with a DP in a can.)PRESSED FLOWER BOOKMARKS 🌸
a friend found this craft for us to do with the girls in youth group + it was a hit! i was hoping there would be leftovers so i could make one (there was). it is such a fun craft for all ages! we used contact paper + dried flowers from amazon.
it’s crazy that it’s already march! i am so excited for spring weather + sunshine + rest.
