Life Lately: Volume 66

Happy Friday! I had a very very exciting week work-wise and just signed a contract for my biggest project ever and the first thing I’ve been really jazzed about with work since the pandemic hit. I cannot wait to hit the ground running on this and share more soon.

On mom duty, however, we’re still dealing with some pretty major transition anxieties with Amalia that are triggering me in a major way. I hate seeing either of my kids in any kind of pain and since I can relate to her feelings, it is even worse. I know that she will ok in time and we are here to support her along the way, but it is very hard to go through as a family.

Last night I finally watched Luckiest Girl Alive (loved the book) and woah, it was very intense. Per usual I thought the book was better, but the movie is worth a watch. Trigger warning: school shooting and rape.

We have an exciting weekend because the one and only Julia Dags, aka my secondary little sister, is getting married and I can’t wait to celebrate her on Saturday!
