Celeste is giving me LIFE! I too, want to lie in bed and eat croissants right now. Thanks for all these easy yet comforting ideas this week- just what the doctor ordered xx

I am a chronically disorganized person and procrastinator so I have no tips to offer. My current goals are to stay off my phone a bit more and try to draw every day. Honestly my favorite days are the ones where I have no plan and the day wanders itself along and somehow things get done. I would love to live my whole life in this unstructured way but of course that’s hard to do.

I think wandering days are amazing in walking cities. In the burbs…one needs a plan 🤪

Sometimes I wander through the day without leaving the house lol. But it’s easier if you don’t have kids

Love this so much! My word for the year is "magic" and love your idea to add easy magic to the mundane. Hip hop and errands is so much better. Thanks for sharing these inspiring thoughts!

Hip hop & errands; matcha & taxes, handle of vodka & summer camp registrations 🫠

Lots to think about in this piece. I especially like your idea about being the creative director of your life. X

At least in some areas! it's fun to take a scenario & be like "nah, that could be way better..."

Sometimes January, February, March can feel like a letdown for me after all of the holidays are behind us and cold weather is ahead of us. But something about your peace today reminded me that it’s actually only up from here! Longer days, more sunlight, etc.

Catch me romanticizing my days from now on! Also, we love Little House on the Prairie and- as you footnoted- it actually provides such good conversation starters about Native Americans.

PS- I love the new hair!

Agree on the letdown. I am not afraid to say that I miss the holidays. It all went by too fast. I am not, in my soul, a Jan/Feb person, but I'm trying. I love Little House soo so much. Every time Ma has stuff to say I'm like "oh no, oh no" what's this lady gonna do now?

It’s like you’ve read my mind. Planning out my days in hourly increments is EXACTLY what I’ve been working on so far this new year. Still very much a work in progress so maybe we can share best practices over dinner next week 😉
