Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 52 in 2025

Hello! Week 52. The last week of the year! Wild, right? I am typing this from my in-laws’ house in Idaho. It’s been a fun trip. Cooper is enjoying cousin time, and we are having lots of yummy food. I hosted Self-Check-In on the road and all worked out well!

UPDATE FOR WORKSHOP- I had to switch the date due to scheduling conflicts.

We’ll slow down and do some intentional New Year processing and rituals together. Bring your Currently Workbook, and we’ll work through it side-by-side, in real time.

More details soon. I’d love to have you there.

My Everyday Life Week 51

My Everyday Life Week 51- Here’s what this past week looked like:

Hotel view at night.

Driving through Tahoe at night during a rainstorm is not for the weak. Especially when some trucks drive like maniacs in the left lane!

All you can eat sushi in Reno.

We made a good dent.

Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds

Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds are an easy edible gift you can whip up if you find yourself without a gift last minute. Ask me how I know!

I was doing a deep dive on Shutterbean last week, and one of the things that brought a lot of traffic to my website when I first started was sharing all of my favorite things from Trader Joe’s for the whole month of November 2007. There are a lot of things that were on that list that don’t exist there anymore. Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Almonds used to be a staple. They brought it back for a bit, and they’re gone now. Another sigh…

If you miss them as I do, here’s your chance to make your own. It’s probably cheaper to as well!

Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 51 in 2025

Hello! Week 51 How doing? How was your weekend? Mine was full of house chores, holiday decorating, a holiday market, a visit with friends, a fun family dinner, couch cuddling, movie night, self-check-in, a yoga/dance class, packing orders, and a good NAP! I stayed under my heated throw blanket most of the weekend because it’s COLD here.
