Hi, sweet friends! I’m back after a taking a break from last week’s Sunday Sweet Edit. School has started and I’m beginning to get back into the swing of things. It always takes me a little time to feel grounded when there is a schedule change. I’m a creature of habit and thrive on consistency, so tend to feel anxious when a new season of life begins. If you’re feeling the same, just know you’re not alone. xx

You guys! I have merch. Ahhh! There will be more coming, but first I had to start with mugs (OBVS) and a few shirts. I’d love to hear what you’d like to see in the store!

How does Jay feel about Fauci’s retirement? And why is Angelina suing the FBI? (Also, what the hell happened on that plane??) We discuss this and more (like the cinematic wonder that is Mr. Destiny) in last week’s episode.

Kid’s Events and Alcohol: Can We Just Let Kid’s Stuff be Kid’s Stuff? – The Sober Mom Life

I posted a reel this week about drinking and kids events that pissed off a few people on the internet. One comment in particular really stuck with me: “My son’s first birthday is at a winery with a pumpkin patch. They need to learn a responsible, respectful relationship with alcohol so they don’t have to be sober one day.” This is almost exactly what I would’ve thought before I experienced life with sobriety. Now, after six beautiful years of sobriety, I have a very different perspective. Check out this episode to hear my thoughts. Community is truly the secret sauce of sobriety success, so I’ve created a special place for you during Sober October… and beyond!

I fell in love with this cardigan as soon as I spotted it online. And let me tell you, I just fell deeper when I tried it on. It was true love at first time. (I take my cardigans seriously.)
