Happy Monday, friends!
We are now on week 35 of 2019. Here’s what that week looked like last year for me.
This weekend started with a birthday party, followed by a lady day, some meal prep, a photoshoot for friends and dinner with family in the city. This week is Cooper’s first FULL week of school and I’m ready for it! Let’s get down our Intentions for the Week!
Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 34
My husband made me a cappuccino. Thank you, husband. I miss Italy and that helped.
Spicy Pickled Carrots in my fridge this week!
Birthday dinner with my family! It’s been my first week of being 40!
My Dad sent me flowers. Thanks, Dad!
Birthday package from my friend Andrea. So grateful for the love I received for my birthday!
Last day of Summer break pool party!
MY 5th GRADER!
There are more food journals in my Etsy shop!! Go get yourself one!
Pick up some stickers while you’re there!
Buy yourself (or a loved one!) a print! There are a few left!
I’ll be adding more prints and some new zines to the shop soon. Stay tuned!

Sometimes you end up with too many carrots in your fridge with no real purpose. My old standby recipe for too many carrots (it’s a common thing here) is Carrot Coconut Soup. This Summer I started pickling onions (I’ll share my technique another time!) and so I thought, why not make some Spicy Pickled Carrots while I was at it?
These pickled carrots have a good OOOMPH to them. The curry adds some depth, the jalapeno adds a little heat and the tangy-sweet brine brings out the sweetness in the carrots. I brought some to a party to put with a cheese board and they were demolished. My favorite part is that they maintain their crunch. They are a much better thing to reach for when you’re craving something crunchy like potato chips (which is like all the time for me!).
Happy Monday, friends!
This weekend was a fun one! I celebrated my 40th birthday!!!!

THIS IS 40! 🦁✨ My mom said her 40s were her favorite decade and I say BRING IT!! 🤗
THIS IS 40! We are back from our trip to Italy. You can see more on Week 33 and Week 32. It was a trip of a lifetime, that’s for sure. The only problem is that husband came back with a nasty cold so it’s delayed getting really getting back into the swing of things. We still have some unpacking to do and prep for the new school year which starts THIS WEEK for us. Can you believe Cooper is going to be in FIFTH GRADE??!! I cannot. This is week 34 of 2019. Let’s figure out our Intentions for the week, shall we?!
Feeling stuck? Make a list! Write down your intentions for the week to help hold you accountable to action.
I’m rooting for you!
Sending sparkles,
Tracy
Here’s what this past week looked like in ITALY! My Everyday Life Week 33
Finding myself in Italian windows.
Starting the day off right. I miss this so much.
Cooper put “have my own coffee” on his Summer Bucket List and he did!
The cutest mailbox.
I think I am going to do a separate post about Italian graffiti.
Particularly fond of this one since she’s on my necklace!
My Etsy Shop is back from vacation! Grab yourself a food journal and stickers!
