Welcome to month two of 2022! I hope everyone is having a good year so far and staying warm if it’s winter where you live 🥶
Here’s what’s current in my life!
Current excitement Valentine’s Day is this month! Are you doing anything special to celebrate?
Current drink I grabbed a 7Up at the store the other day and it was delicious. I think it has been years since I’ve had it and I always forget how refreshing it is. Do you have a favorite soda?
Current beauty product Lip balm. Cold + dry weather makes my lips so dry!
Current books This memoir about a career in coffee at Starbucks. Sadie is really enjoying all the flaps and stories in this book.
Current goal Sending query letters to literary agents for the book I wrote. I was telling my parents how overwhelming it is to research agents, write proposals, etc. and my dad was like “Just try and do one each day.” and I thought that was such a good idea!
Current laugh My mom, Sadie, and I were at Walmart together and I was in the restroom. Sadie was looking at the nail salon inside the store with my mom and a man was watching them and told my mom “Aww, mom! Take her to get her nails done!” … as in he thought my mom was Sadie’s mom 😂
Current craving A vacation somewhere warm, lol! I’m terrified of flying but keep finding myself looking at plane tickets to Florida because the ‘Burgh is currently freezing and covered in a thick blanket of snow, with more coming this week 🥶
Current baked good Rainbow cookies from my Etsy shop. They’re so bright and happy during cold winter days ❄️
Current joy Just everyday family life with Jimmy and Sadie ❤️
Current mood Happy!
Current food Soup! I love making a big pot with beans and whatever veggies are in the fridge.
Current fun Sadie, my mom, and I decorated Mickey Mouse Valentine’s Day cookies. I was actually impressed with Sadie’s creativity. We had three bags of different colored icing and she took all three bags and used them at once. I wouldn’t have thought to do that! She also put goldfish crackers on her cookies, so there’s that 😂
