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.
SAY WHEN
This week on The Handwriting Club Substack, I shared how I decorate the month pages of my Hobonichi Cousin.
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!
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.
Join me for the Self Check-In 2026 Workshop on Zoom.

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.
ALSO!!!
I am hosting Practice Pages this week on The Handwriting Club for paid subscribers. We are going to be working on our Winter Bucket Lists together! If you’ve been craving more structure around your journaling practice (or just want some company while you write), this time is for YOU!
Here are my Intentions for the Week:
My Everyday Life Week 50- Here’s what this past week looked like:
Craft time!
This week, I decided to add some words to our Christmas tree.
First word- LOVE
Join me for Practice Pages next week as a paid subscriber of The Handwriting Club. We’re going to sit down together, flip back through our Autumn Bucket Lists (what did we do, what did we learn, what still wants our attention), and then we’ll build our Winter Bucket Lists/Bingo Cards side-by-side. Bring your workbook or a blank page, your favorite pen, and a cozy drink. Come as you are, leave with a plan you actually want to follow!
Wednesday 4:30-5:30PM PST
Have a great weekend! xo
Another December, and I have cranberries leftover in my fridge from Thanksgiving.
It’s almost like I’ve done it on purpose…
This year, we have Cranberry Orange Cobbler to the rescue! In the past, I’ve made Cranberry Ginger Shrub, Cranberry Cheese Danishes, and Cranberry Rosemary Bars with my “accidental” leftover cranberries.
This year, I combined half a bag of leftover cranberries with a few rogue mandarin oranges from my fridge, and ended up with the easiest, most rewarding dessert, snack, or breakfast.
If you’re on the gluten-free track like I am, use your favorite gluten-free flour for this. (I’ve been using Bob’s Redmill).
Maybe I’ll buy more cranberries so I can make my Mom’s Cranberry Nut Bread this winter season. Stay tuned!
