The past few months have been a lot. I took an unplanned break because, honestly, life threw some major curveballs.
In November, my son had a terrifying health scare that completely consumed me. That was just weeks after the election, which hit me hard. Then came the holidays (hello, 5-year-old home for 30 out of 36 days!), a brutal anxiety spiral, and the worst flu my son and I have ever had.
Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all that? New Orleans got 10 inches of snow in 10 hours. It was absolutely magical—and also meant another full week of unexpected time at home. (Sharing a photo because, truly, what?!)
And now? We’re rolling straight into two weeks of Mardi Gras and SIX more days out of school. 🫠 Send coffee.
If you’ve been feeling the weight of everything lately, I see you. You’re not alone. But I’m finally coming up for air and have some exciting news:
