Here’s your sign to have an annual “yes day” with your best friend.

It’s Heidi and I’s third year doing a holiday “yes day” together and it’s becoming one of my favorite traditions! We always head to downtown Chicago and pick a bunch of spots for treats we’ve been dying to try, trinkets we’ve been eyeing, and always, always, always lunch at The Gage 👌🏻

One more gift idea for any kids in your life — my mother-in-law gifted Owen this Yoto radio in 2022 and it’s by FAR one of our most used gifts! I buy a few cards for the kids every year (we’ve especially been loving the Magic School Bus stories and Charlie Brown Christmas). Works for 12 months and up!

The best gift for everyone on your list is the gift I bought myself for Christmas. Jennifer Fisher has been sharing her clean recipes on Instagram for years now and many of them have become staples in our house. I know this will be my GO-TO recipe book for the next decade 👌🏻

Her salt blends also make an amazing gift idea if you can find them in stock (they sell out often!)

I promise @keelygoshia I’d post how I make the mini mirrors I use at the trunk of my trees to add extra sparkle without the hassle of extra lights. Make and reuse these year after year (mine from my small city tree are over 10 years old!). Such a secretive way to add sparkle to the holidays 🎄✨

Among other genres…

But yes, smut has been a huge favorite of late, but I blame my book besties. It’s just so much more fun to dissect & discuss 😂

Also can we normalize not doing hair and make-up for IG all the time? I made a latte this morning, thought of this reel and started laughing and just said “f*** it” and shot it. Hope the lack of effort is relatable 😉

Can’t help but celebrate a big milestone: I’ve lost over 65 lbs since my second son was born two years ago.

I’m proud of this journey not because of the pounds lost but because of the confidence gained. I feel like I can do anything I set my mind to. And to someone who’s had a much harder time postpartum mentally, that’s saying a lot.

For anyone struggling with postpartum be patient with yourself. The body needs time and space to heal. And I’m convinced I’m just one of those people who cannot lose weight while breastfeeding (anyone else struggle with this?)
