Hello hello! Happy Monday. We went on a family adventure day for Mother’s Day yesterday. I got a good amount of sun and love from my boys. This week is a busy week! We have baseball playoffs! No meal prep for this week because Mother’s Day and I need to grocery shop.
Want to get yourself organized with meal planning? Get my meal prep/planning printable pack!
Here are my Intentions this week!
My Everyday Life Week 19- Here’s what this past week looked like:
We talked about our Moms during our Practice Pages hangout on The Handwriting Club. It was just what I needed this week.
The homework for May is to write a letter to your Mom. I’m taking time today to write mine.
I am going to open this today. Thank you, Tammi!
I’ve been thinking about my Mom all week.
She’s still my light source.
Happy Mother’s Day to you if you’re a Mom. I hope your family takes good care of you this weekend. xo
Meal Train Food Ideas
I’ve been the recipient of a meal train once. Although back then it wasn’t a formal meal train. Almost 18 years ago (gasp!), it was just my Mom, my sister-in-law, a friend, and a neighbor. There wasn’t a meal train signup, a group email, or a text thread. Back then, my mom called me on the phone and told me not to worry about dinner because she was bringing us food. The other meals that first month were unexpected, but warmly welcomed.
Day two at home, my mom came in hot with a repurposed box from Costco.
Inside was:
She left us with verbal instructions to heat the stew, boil noodles, add butter, and finish with parsley. Of course, she followed up the next day by phone to see if I followed directions, asked how it was, and how the baby was doing. The call ended with the first of many reminders to bring back her salad dressing container.
Hello hello! Happy Monday. We made it to Week 19. How are you doing? Did you have a good weekend? Did you take good care of yourself?
I shared my April pages in my Currently workbook on The Handwriting Club this weekend.
This week, I am hosting Practice Pages on Zoom (Wednesday 4:30-5:30PST).
Here’s what’s on the agenda:
We will say goodbye to April and HELLO to May. I’ll share both my 2026 April pages and my past May pages from my Currently Workbooks to get you ready for the new month.
May 10th is Mother’s Day. It can be especially challenging if you’re living without a Mom or if your relationship with her is complicated.
Our optional homework this month is to handwrite a letter to your Mom (whether she’s alive or not) from your current self. I will share the book I made to process my grief and remember my Mom: Things My Mom Used to Say. This project helped me learn how to gently “Mom Myself” without her.
Here are my Intentions this week!
My Everyday Life Week 18- Here’s what this past week looked like:
Looking through my Aprils for the past 7 years.
My art practice has flourished!
This week, I am using my food journal. I am trying to slow down and see what life is like with and without eggs.
The view from on top of my chest.
