I got very tangenty in this episode 🤣💃🏼🧡 But the juicy bits are always in between the lines aren’t they??

A big-ol hug from my mom reminded me what it feels like to simply be a daughter. Plus: an update on the 10-Year Milestone Edition of Welcome to Caregiving, the nerve-wracking joy of sending pages to an editor, and an ongoing love affair with Trader Joe's Crunchy Chili Onion.

This summer, I’m building a sandcastle.

Not a literal one (although I’m not ruling that out). A creative one. One that has been living in my heart for months and is finally making its way onto the page.

This week: a beach terrier, a rainbow, and the moment I decided to stop overthinking and start building.

Bring your pails, your shovels, and love. 🧡
