September flew by!!

Nothing that happened was particularly earth-shattering. But looking back, there are a few moments I really don’t want to forget.

In September:
-Dom turned 18.
-I got a little traction in a very frustrating job search.
-And football season came back just in time. 😂🏈

In my 40s, I'm so much less interested in building a life that looks impressive from the outside.

I care more about enjoying myself, having energy left at the end of the day, staying curious, and making choices because they actually fit me, not because they make sense on paper.

Some things that used to feel very important just… don’t anymore.

What do you care way less about now than you used to? 🌿

The moon was so bright the other night that I had to stop what I was doing and snap a photo. This is your reminder to look up sometimes! 🌙

A packed schedule can look productive from the outside but leave you spinning your wheels, or like you barely had time to *live*.

I'm trying to keep in mind the difference between being busy and actually feeling fulfilled. 🌿

There is something about this time of year that makes me want to bake everything with pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar, and an unreasonable amount of streusel - just like these pumpkin + pecan crumb muffins!

It's even been a little chilly in the evenings here in Florida... gasp! Fall is here, wahoo!

When we sold our house and moved into the RV, I expected to miss the permanence of having one address.

But now home follows us everywhere we go!

For years, getting healthier mostly meant losing weight to me. And yes, I still have goals there. But at 43, I’m finding myself much more interested in strength, energy, and staying capable.

I want to walk around a new city all day, hike somewhere beautiful, and say yes to things that require a little effort. Basically, I want my body to be able to come with me for whatever life still has in store.

Those moments that don't seem share-worthy? Those are the moments that are the most precious. Take the photo! 🌿
