Dear J,
This weekend was wonderful! Hubby, the kids, and I spent most of it indoors. Partly by choice, partly thanks to some car trouble. Our trusty car has been a loyal companion, but lately, she's been dropping hints that it's time for her to retire.
But enough about that—I have some big news! Today marks the start of a new chapter for us. It’s the beginning of a journey that feels as exciting as it does nerve-wracking. I’ve decided to share you with the world. That’s right, J. Our intimate moments, my highs and lows, the little victories, the trials, and everything in between will now have a wider audience. Just writing it down feels surreal.
Up until now, I’ve shared snippets of our life with family and the occasional friend, but this feels… different. It’s equal parts thrilling and terrifying. My emotions are all over the place—excitement, anticipation, curiosity, joy, fear—all wrapped up with a mountain of questions.
Meanwhile, hubby and I are ironing out details for the blog, the book, and a few other projects under our brand. The kids are thriving, enjoying a much-needed homeschool break. And Jude? He’s picked up a new hobby: Youtubing! His spontaneous creativity and confidence at just seven years old have been such an inspiration. Who knew my seven-year-old would teach me to push past my doubts?
Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? The older I get, the more I see that it’s always offering lessons—through people, moments, and even the smallest experiences. If we’re open and willing to listen, there’s so much to learn.
Until next time, J.
Love,
Mel
