Hi friends! I have a little favor to ask. I normally wouldn’t ask for your time, but if you have 5 minutes or so to spare, I put together a survey that will help me discover the best ways to inspire and serve you. You can access the survey here, and I’d be really grateful if you filled it out. I love this community, and I want to make sure you get everything you need and want from me! Again, it should only take a few minutes, I promise.
On a side note, are we ready for fall? If you know me, you know I was born ready for peak foliage and cozy sweater season. Still, I have to admit, this summer has gone by a bit too quickly, and I find myself yearning for a few extra weeks of long, lazy, unstructured days at home with my girls. Maybe it’s because it felt like the first semi-normal summer in a long time, or maybe it’s because kids grow up so painfully fast…I wish I could hang on to August a little longer (cue Taylor Swift).
Yet, I’m really looking forward to coming back to this space in September with fresh eyes and renewed energy. I have been feeling a bit uninspired and unmotivated lately (ugh, anyone else?), and I know that once my family is back in a rhythm, it’ll be easier for me to slip back into the groove (or so I hope).
Here’s a little bit of what I’ve been up to lately:
What I’m Reading:
I’m really loving Rebecca, which I have somehow never read before now (I was an English major in college). Love me a good gothic novel, and this one is especially atmospheric and intriguing.
What I’m Watching:
We’re about midway through Surface, a new Apple series set in San Francisco. It’s pretty good, and as I’ve mentioned before, I’m a sucker for show with great interior set design, and the main character’s apartment is just beautiful.
What I’m Listening To:
I just listened to this Goop podcast episode with Michael Pollan on psychedelics and I have to admit intrigue about the therapeutic benefits of microdosing on psylocybin. Curious for more information on the topic, but admittedly still very hesitant about trying it out once it’s legal.
What I’m Cooking:
I saw a recipe for a Chocolate Raspberry Icebox Cake in Food + Wine and I’m dying to veganize and healthify it ASAP! I hardly ever rip dessert recipes out of magazines but I feel like my kids would love this one.
Hope you guys have a good rest of your summer! Here’s that survey link again, and can’t wait to read your feedback!
Is the recipe available for this soup? I recently upgraded to paid subscriber but not seeing many recipes, which is why I signed up. Am I missing something?
Thanks, Karen
Lauren the survey link doesn't work.sorry
