Hi! Hello! Happy May Day to all of you. I am itching to be outside doing all the things — biking! Planting flowers! Mulching! Sweeping! Weeding! Now how can I translate my desires to my kids so I can get some extra hands & enthusiasm???

1. I have new songs I must share. These are the three. They’re getting me through my endless HYROX training sessions and bringing me so much energy.

2. Spent last weekend in Chicago in prep for the board meeting. Did a couple things I will never forget. First one, seeing Abraham Hicks at one of their workshops. I’ve been listening to them for the last decade and… it was surreal. Second, spending a couple hours at Aire Ancient Baths. We also ate at Momotaro which was a very memorable meal. 🤤

3. While I was in Chicago I found literally the perfect pair of jeans (in petite of course) and it would be a disservice not to share. They feel like butter, they have elastic on the waist… they are almost comparable to my favorite Vuori joggers (!!!!!!).

4. I wasn’t planning on buying new sheets but ours got ripped somehow so I listened to the wise words of the women on our team who highly recommended Quince and grabbed these Bamboo sheets — wowza. Another one too good not to share.

5. I received the Young Alumni Achievement Award and was honored a couple weeks ago on campus. It was a pinch me moment, being surrounded by other award recipients doing remarkable work. Grateful to be a Bulldog!

Have a beautiful first weekend in May. ❤️
