Here we are again.


Happy 2026!

As one year ends and another begins, do you ever find yourself in a reflective space?

I'm not one to make resolutions or set goals but I have been trying to navigate what I want my business to look like in 2026.

As you may have noticed, weekly emails and actively sharing about my business on social media have take a back seat since beginning a full time job.

Here's where I could use your help!

I would love if you replied to this email and shared some insight into what you want to see in this space. What would be helpful on your sustainability journey? How can I be a resource to you?

How will you make an impact this year?

If you're ready to amp up your sustainability efforts and start reducing, reusing and recycling more, check out The Sustainable Shift! It's 30 days of simple, actionable ways to be more sustainable in a daily rhythm.

See you next week (hopefully) 🤞🏽!

🌱TIP OF THE WEEK

Do you work in an office? Start your own collection bin of recyclables! Just because the office doesn't have a system, doesn't mean you can't collect paper and cans to be recycled at your home.

Where's the balance? It's snow magical My weekly email habits have fallen off the deep end and are no where to be found. In this season of managing a full time job and having time for anything else, I've sacrificed a lot. The other day, I had the realization that I can't expect myself to do all the things I was doing before I had a full time job. I simply don't have the same amount of time. And that's okay! The morning go by quickly as we rush to get out the door. The evenings are filled with...

Every day I'm puzzlin' This is my favorite time of year to do puzzles because the days of sunlight are shorter and the cold weather keeps me inside where it's cozy.

Some of you are friends in real life. I'm grateful for all of you as well as the support and encouragement you provide. However you're celebrating...
