Hello Hello! Winter started a few weeks ago (holy cow it’s raining here in California!) and I almost forgot to look up what’s in season! I’ve been in a bit of a food rut for the past few months and my archive of recipes is bringing me life! I forgot how much I have to pull from. If you need a reminder of what’s in season, here are some of my favorite Winter Fruit & Vegetable Recipes!
Here’s what’s in season!
Hello hello! How did the first week of 2023 go? I’m playing catch-up since our trip to Idaho. So much laundry to process and RAIN! Oh my goodness the rain here is kind of intense right now. It makes seeing the light of the sun more special when you haven’t seen it in a week! Time to write down my Intentions for the week! Here we go:
Here’s what the first week of 2023 looked like! My Everyday Life Week 1
Filling out my Currently Workbook this week! My word for the year is NOURISH.
I’ve spent the past 6 months rehauling my approach to food. I’ve lost 30 lbs and will hopefully share more about that soon.
In my daily planner, I wrote down the meaning and some questions to start the new year off right.
I’m hoping to keep up the momentum of consistently moving my body in 2023!
I did my year-ahead spread!

Currently December 2022
December was full of some really fun experiences. I am grateful for all of the wonderful friends in my life. I went to Sea Ranch and Idaho!
The only drawback to the month was that I was NOT in the holiday spirit this year. I didn’t put up a tree because we were traveling at the end of the month and I didn’t feel like I could trust being away for a week with my cats unsupervised. Huggy has an issue with tree climbing! I did put up some lights in my kitchen and mantle to make it festive. To be honest with you, the energy bills in California have been so outrageous the past few months. The energy rate goes up here between 4PM-9PM (prime time holiday magic time!) and heat seems like it’s more important than the Christmas tree. What a time to be alive!
Here are some of the pages from my Currently Workbook!
I used my Tombow brush pens.

All Mamas who needed a respite before the holiday season smacked us in the face.
We had a blast and made some art projects. I have this cool vessel in my kitchen now!
We spontaneously went to see Adam Sandler with Cooper in Sacramento. It was so much fun. I forgot how wonderful it is to see live comedy.
This month my friend Sam started his Shitty Life Advice show at Square 1 Studio and I got to help out.
This year I unwrapped my childhood Christmas ornaments and was excited to find out that I have a whole town I can display now. My Mom is still loving me from beyond.
Our trip to Idaho was just lovely! I really enjoyed hanging out with my in-laws (IN THE SNOW!) and was so happy to see how elated my child was to be around his cousins.
My life, my mom, my career, and what I want to do with The Handwriting Club!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!
FIRST MONDAY OF 2023. How are we feeling? I spent all of yesterday packing up orders! Thank you!!! I only have a few Currently Workbooks left before I order more so get one while you can!
So! New year. I hate that there’s usually a lot of pressure to make big plans for the new year. I firmly believe must digest the past year so we can no what we intend to work toward in the new year. I have a bunch of rituals involved in the new year. I’m putting it on my Intentions for the Week list this week. Here we go:
Here’s what the last week of 2022 looked like! My Everyday Life Week 52
