currently…

pretending it’s fall here in Colorado by wearing sweaters, even if the weather is definitely still behaving like summer. This photo was from a trip to Seattle earlier this month where it was colder and rainy- loved it!

shopping for Halloween costumes. As of right now, my 6th grader is going to be a Nintendo Switch controller and my 4th grader wants to be Taylor Swift.

waiting patiently for my daughter’s birthday because I made a special photo placemat, which I’m hoping becomes a new tradition, and I can’t wait to see her reaction! I shared the behind the scenes on Instagram when I was making it earlier this month, but I’ll post a full tutorial on my blog after the reveal.

reading Angel Falls. I think this is the only Kristin Hannah book I hadn’t read yet.

listening to Middletide on audiobook.

wearing this weighted vest on my morning walks for some resistance training (supposed to be good for women of a certain age… which is my age, hah). I got the 8lb option.

making lots of friendship bracelets. My daughter designed a “Miss Freddy” bracelet with my brand colors and it turned out so cute. She’s toying with the idea of making enough to do a little sale on my website later this year.

watching presentations from an online summit for content creators. It’s definitely impacting the way I approach my content!

hiring a business coach to do a full Miss Freddy “audit.” I’m excited to see what suggestions they make to improve my business.

prepping lots of Instagram content for October! Since the beginning of the year I’ve been kicking around an idea of posting new Reels every weekday for a month. I have posted twice a week for years and want to see if an increased frequency helps my account grow. It’s a lot of content to create, but it’ll be a fun experiment!
