Hi Reader!

What a week! We got a massive snow storm last weekend that dumped tons of sleet and ice in Cville. Dislike! Apparently there is more coming : ( I am so ready to head to the Caribbean, and I really hope another storm doesn't postpone that trip!

Here's what's new on the blog this week:

Here's another day in the life - this time on a kid-free Thursday : )

How To Save Money For Travel

If one of your goals this year is to save money for travel, here are some tips to learn how to build a travel budget, use credit cards wisely, find deals, and save for future trips without stress.

Lately: Sleet + Snow

A recap of our snowed in weekend!

I started a Substack! You can see the articles I've already published with that link to see if the topics interest you.

Unprocessed is real food and nutrition focused. The title is a nod to my real food focus plus that it's raw and honest thoughts on nutrition:

• Prioritizing real, recognizable foods most of the time
• Understanding what food processing actually means - and when it matters (and when it doesn't)
• Looking at nutrition through an evidence-based, nuanced lens
• Letting go of fear-based food rules that don't serve us

Free subscribers will get snippets, and paid subscribers will have access to the nutrition content.

GlowRight Lights

If you have ever wanted under-cabinet lighting or to add a light in a dark closet, I have the PERFECT SOLUTION for you: GlowRight!! GlowRight sent me their under-cabinet kit, wireless sconces, and motion-operated pantry set, and I am WOWED. This product is too good to be true! There is no electrician needed, and you don't even need a drill! Everything sticks on with super strong adhesive and magnets so you can remove the lights to charge with a USB-C cord. And you can turn them on with a wave of the hand!

This was the perfect way to upgrade the lighting in my rental without any professional help.

Here's to hoping there is no more snow here ❄️
