Maycember is REAL, Readerโ yesterday a surprise winter storm proved it.
School was canceled, Bella was home and in full "I need your attention" mode, and my neatly planned workday? Gone. Add news of a friend losing her dog and another friend facing a cancer diagnosis โ I made a quick decision:
Put down the to-do list. Show up for what actually needs my presence.
And you know what? It became one of the best days.
โ
Presence is the greatest power and gift you can give โ to others and yourself. Adaptability is the new stability. ๐
๐ฆ What a Snow Day With a 9-Year-Old Actually Looks Like
Here's how we actually spent the day โ and I'm not mad about any of it:
- ๐ณ Cooked together โ messy, delicious, and worth every dish
- ๐งบ Did laundry โ and turned it into a lesson on doing the thing you don't want to do FIRST so you can do the things you want to do with energy
- ๐ฆ Reorganized her room โ I encouraged her to choose based on how she wants to feel and what she's envisioning for herself. She's 9 and said she was gonna start acting like it. I was floored.
- ๐ฆ Watched Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe โ snuggled up and completely magical
- โ๏ธ Shoveled snow and carโ because Colorado
- ๐ Walked to the creek and learned about bees and bee mimics
โ๐ โ Share this one! We need our pollinators!
๐ซ The Plot Twist That Made My Heart Tingle
Bella turned 9 last month and announced โ completely unprompted โ that she was going to act like a 9-year-old now. More grown up. More responsible.
I almost cried. In the best way.
And here's what I realized: I filled my cup in all the ways that mattered. When I nourish my soul first, everything grows. I don't just manifest โ I womanfest. ๐
โ โ this one is playful and deep, just like life should be.
Because "lifing" โ the art of actually living your life โ has to be a combo of play AND depth. That's where the wisdom lives. That's where the joy is. Laugh with life. ๐

๐ธ Your Mother's Day Gift Guide โ Start With YOU
Here's my gentle nudge: give yourself the self-care you keep putting off. The mani/pedi, the facial, the spiritual healing, the afternoon of glorious nothingness.
Rest is not laziness. When you are rested, you are powerful.
And if you want something a little extra soulful, here are two gifts I'd love to give you:
๐ Smile Reset โ Zenful Teeth Whitening A smile shift is a life shift. Little to no sensitivity, a third of the price of the dentist, and the confidence boost is immediate. Give it to yourself โ or gift it to a mom you love. It's normally $199, here's your mommy perk.

๐นDelicous Mother's Day Recipes
Here are some Mother's Day foods to do from my friend Tess Masters, the blender girl. I've shared her countless times and in her Skinny60 Gut Reset Program. These recipes are easy, have generous yields to feed the whole family, and have the WOW factor.
Trio of Dips - Roasted Cauliflower "Hummus", Roasted Beet Dip, and Epic Edamame Dipโ
โCoconut Lemongrass Soup - This will make you weak in the knees. It is SO easy and SO delicious.
โMushroom Stroganoff - People LOVE this. Plain and simple.
โArugula Salad with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette - The dressing will make you weak in the knees. If you're not vegan, some shaved parmesan is always a hit.
โLemon Almond Cake - If you haven't made this, do not miss it. It is SO easy and has the most incredible flavor. You just throw everything into the blender and bake. (NOTE: Do not substitute other flours in this recipe.)
โChocolate Orange Cake - This is also really easy. Just blend and chill.
Cheers to a Mother's Day that actually fills your cup. ๐ธ
