Getting it together.. eventually
The to-do list is still very much *to-do*
As I’m writing this, it’s Tuesday, April 29th at 2PM. Normally, I’d have this newsletter scheduled and checked off my list by now... but lately, life’s been a mix of getting things done way ahead of time and getting things done at the very last second.
And tbh? It is what it is.
Some weeks I feel like I’m doing so good. Then other weeks, I feel like I can barely keep up. And this week’s been more of the latter.
Maybe you’re in that boat too? If you’ve been procrastinating or running behind, you are not alone. I’ve got a hospital bag to pack, a birth plan that still needs signing, and a to-do list that feels like it’s never-ending 🙃
But here’s what I’m learning: it’s okay. We don’t always have to be ahead of the game. Sometimes just showing up is enough. Give yourself grace because you’re actually doing better than you think are.
So if you need the reminder — here it is — be kind to yourself (and others, of course), but mostly to yourself. What needs to get done will get done. Life isn’t always a checklist, and you’re absolutely allowed to move at your own pace.
Cheers! 🤠

I wouldn’t call myself an oversharer, but my brain is never not thinking of 12 things at once. So I figured why not let a few of them out. This might be a one-time thing.. or not. TBD.
On the hunt for a good postpartum show. I’m thinking Gossip Girl? I’ve somehow never watched it, but I do know who it is (thanks, CHD).
Recently switched up our bedding and I can officially say I’m Team Duvet over comforter. Just maybe not so much of the washing and taking it off.
I genuinely love curating a cute baby shower gift. I just need more friends to get pregnant now 😅
Maternity photo tip: maybe don’t wait until you’re 9 months to take photos.. unless you actually want to look like a puff pastry haha
See you next week!
