Things I'm loving right now
This week’s newsletter will be a tad different. I’m excited to give it a try and see what you think.
Things and moments I’m loving right now (cue “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music):
Family and baby boy….
Baby boy moving at the speed of lightning: He is crawling as fast as a Bugatti, and I love watching him decide when he’ll move at normal speed and when he’ll hit the gas.
Baby boy chatting away: His loud “talking” makes me think I might have a parakeet in the house, and it makes me chuckle throughout the day.
Baby boy’s outfits: When I found out I was having a boy, I wasn’t sure the clothes would make me as happy as girl clothes, but man oh man, I am having so much fun with boy clothes!
Naps: When I’m able to, taking long naps with baby boy and dog.
Family time: Chatting with partner love and hanging out all of us.
Now… onto non-baby-related things…
Substacks: Kindness Boomerang (on kindness) by Sheila Dembowski, Run Your Life (on running and life lessons) by Jacqui Moore, and Nomadic Minds (on travel) by Maria Tsoukalas.
Fiction: I’m on Book #2 from the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas. It’s called, A Court of Mist and Fury. I love the world Maas has created, and the creatures. I feel as though I’m in the character’s world with all the magic and fantasy.
Nonfiction: I wrote about this book in last week’s post. Relentless by Tim Grover. So good. He coached Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, among other star NBA players. Grover talks about what it takes to get to the “next level,” whatever that means for you. It is inspirational and kicks your butt into motion.
On that note…
Inspirational: Anything Kobe Bryant (videos of his speeches, podcast interviews with him, etc.) are also grabbing my attention.
Music: Modern bachata (and, I’m beyond excited that Bad Bunny has the stage at the Super Bowl).
More music: Grupo Frontera.
Food: Mango. I buy big bags of frozen mango and unfreeze it any time of year. Baby boy is loving it too!

Thanks for the shout out, Isabel! And I am with you on Bachata! It's an instant mood and energy booster. I'm gonna give the spotify playlist you included a listen!
Right now, I'm loving going for walks and seeing all the houses that are getting their spooky season decorations out - Halloween is my favourite holiday! Please tell me you're gonna dress up your baby in something adorable.
