My Everyday Life Week 34- Here’s what this past week looked like:
Birthday week!
It’s weird having a birthday on a Tuesday.
I took myself to the beach and collected rocks shaped like hearts.
I asked my Mom for signs.
I watched little kids trying so hard to walk on the beach with backpacks. It was the sweetest.
The last time I wrote a post about Back-to-School Prep was in 2018. Back then, my child was 9. As I write this in 2026, I have an almost 18-year-old senior in high school. His last year before college.
Holy crap, we’ve made it.
Since then, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve also made a lot of things my past self would have needed to make school life easier. So I’m gathering it all here for us: the systems, routines, reminders, and little ways I like to reset myself for school.
Perhaps I can leave a trail of knowledge behind for those of you who are just beginning your journey through school?
Here’s how I do Back-to-School Prep!
Hi friends! Happy Monday! Did you have a good weekend? Did you get some self-care in? I dropped off a bag for donation and distributed a bunch of books in free mini libraries in my neighborhood.
SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION (here), and I HAVE A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.
What what??!!
That means I need to start back up on the meal prep train! I usually take a break during Summer because our weeks are a little less hectic.
Here are My Intentions for the Week!
My Everyday Life Week 33- Here’s what this past week looked like:
I spent yesterday journaling.
This is where that page started:
This is where it ended up.
I had a full week!
My website was down for over a day (sad trombone). I’m back! I think.
Here’s a list because:
I posted a new recipe this week!
Have a good weekend!
Love,

Today’s Recipe: Triple Berry Sherbet
When we were working on our Summer Bucket Lists during Practice Pages in June, I shared that making sorbet and cowboy candy were two of my long-standing summer goals. Strawberry cake was on there too, but I don’t want to talk about it.
Instead of beating myself up for not getting to these things year after year, I decided to use the opportunity for some accountability. I said out loud, to a group of women, that I was going to do it!
And here we are. Cowboy candy = done! And while it’s not quite a sortbet, this Triple Berry Sherbet recipe earns me a gold star and a colored-in box on my Summer bingo card. It’s the third one down under the O in BINGO.
This sherbet is full of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. It’s light and creamy and so incredibly fruity. It’s summer in a bowl! Perhaps you should put it on your Summer Bucket list too? Summer is still happening!
