New Week, New Intentions

As a new month begins, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the past two months — what I did well, where I can improve, and the work still in progress. Reflection is one of the greatest forms of self-care I can offer myself as an entrepreneur. It allows me to pause, recalibrate, and move forward with clarity.

As I step into March, I’m continuing to invest in myself — starting with this new journal. A place to write notes of encouragement, capture content ideas as they come to mind, and set fresh goals. There’s something powerful about putting pen to paper.

I recently filmed a “day in my life” video and, while editing, had a moment where I thought — wow, no two days are ever the same. What does remain consistent, though, is my morning routine.

6:00 – 7:30 am
Wake up, walk Frank, make coffee, and catch up on emails, Instagram notifications, and private messages.

7:30 – 8:00 am
Get the kids off to school, then do the “morning pick-up” — clean the kitchen and start a load of laundry.

8:00 – 9:00 am
Get ready for the day. This is, without question, my greatest life hack as a work-from-home girl. Being dressed and ready changes everything.

From there, my days shift depending on what the week holds. This week includes a real estate closing, so I’m juggling last-minute addendums and final walkthroughs in between content planning. While I don’t strictly follow a content calendar, I do like to enter each week with intention and a loose plan.

12:00 – 1:00 pm
I make it a point to sit down for lunch every day — even if it’s behind a computer screen. My favorite lunches are leftovers from recipe testing. This week I made one of our family favorites from Ina Garten’s cookbook, and it never disappoints.

1:00 – 3:00 pm
This is typically my filming window — whether I’m arranging florals, baking banana bread, or sharing a new favorite spring look.

3:00 – 6:00 pm
Sports runs and dinner prep. We’re in a busy season with activities, so I truly cherish the nights when the four of us can sit around the table together.

6:00 – 8:00 pm
Often working from the car or a set of bleachers during practice. It’s surprisingly one of my most productive windows — circling back on emails, responding to DMs, or linking new favorite finds.

Moving forward, it’s a goal of mine to post here on Substack more consistently — a space where we can connect a little more personally and where these reflections can live on for you to revisit anytime.
