Amalia is going to be a one year old a week from tomorrow. I have no clue how that happened so quickly and I spent way too much time over the weekend weekend thinking about the last year and browsing through old photos, crying like a fool. It also got me thinking about what we've done well and not so well this first time around.
As you definitely know already, today marks day one of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for Nordstrom cardholders. If you aren't a cardholder, you can shop the sale next week, but I recommend opening a card because it's 1000% the best sale of the year and you can get things like Barbour jackets and Patagonia puffer coats for a fraction of their usual cost.
With Amalia's first birthday approaching and my family making our holiday season plans already (what?!), I've been thinking a lot lately about how fleeting time can be. Sometimes I want to take the clock and shake it to slow down! So far that hasn't worked out so well, but what does work is working on being more present to enjoy every moment instead of trying to rush through already rapidly moving time.
Every year on my birthday, I spend some time reflecting on the last year and assessing key takeaways from what it’s brought me. I’m turning 33 today, so it’s that time again! Read my updates from 31 here and 32 here.
When I turned 32 last July, I was still pregnant with Amalia and had no idea what the next year would look like, even though I thought I did.
