Intentions for the Week:

Happy Monday, friends!

This week is WEEK 23 of 2019. Our weekend included a baseball playoff game, a pool party, a photo shoot and house cleaning! We spent Sunday night watching Seabiscuit. It was a pretty nice weekend if I do say so myself.

This week I have a lot of photo stuff going on. I am also prepping for my Napa Makes booth on Saturday.

If you’re free, come visit! I’m selling some goodies from my Etsy shop in person. I’ll sign your food journal if you get one!

Currently: May 2019

Currently May 2019:

Goodbye, May. You were a wild one! Gemini season like whoaaaaaaa.

This month I had my brain focused on creating my Food Photography Workshop.

It happened! I went to Santa Fe and had a blast.

It was so nice to get away and be creative! I loved working with my students and I can’t wait to do it again.

Now that it’s over my brain can start thinking about the Summer which is just around the corner. Let’s get down to business and break down the month.

Here, take a look into my Currently Workbook for May:

All the good things that happened in May!

Let’s dive right into it.
