If a butterfly could talk
Pretty sure this one said "buckle up".
Have you seen that trend going around where people say:
“The butterfly effect is crazy because what if I never…”
I’m not sure if it’s a recent thing or not, but ever since I saw it, it's been living rent-free in my head. Probably because I’ve been thinking a lot about the small, seemingly random choices that quietly end up changing everything. (End-of-pregnancy brain? Maybe.)
Anyway, here’s mine:
What if I never moved to Vegas at 20?
It felt spontaneous and random at the time. Especially since I had never lived in another state without my parents.
But it led to some of the biggest plot twists of my life: meeting my husband, starting a family, and eventually landing right here → writing this newsletter, changing multiple diapers a day, trying (but mostly failing) to stay on top of laundry, making homemade meals — and absolutely loving it more than I could ever imagine.
It’s wild how one tiny pivot can change your whole trajectory.
Maybe that’s why I love the idea of a multiverse so much (😅). Or why I’ve learned to give more grace to the “in-between” seasons — the uncertain ones that don’t quite make sense yet.
And while I wouldn’t say I’m in one right now, it’s a good reminder for future me (or maybe you) that maybe the butterfly effect is really just trusting that the small things matter, even when we don’t see the full picture yet 🦋
A few things worth sharing..
Hair inspo I’m saving. This edit by
featuring an interview with her hairstylist is full of tips and tricks I’m actually excited to try.Big Matt D’Avella fan. I found his video on quitting the news an interesting watch.
Life hack incoming. Mel Robbins always spitting facts.
Easily top 10 of the year. One of my favorite podcast episodes I’ve listened to in 2025.
All the nostalgic feels. This song came on and instantly took me back.
Eyeing this recipe. Just need a food processor and you bet I’m making these guilt-free snacks for the kids.
A photo I’m loving. One from our family maternity shoot 🫶🏼 (Scroll down to see it ⤵)
Well, I’m off to chase more butterflies. Same time next week?
