Painting My Permission (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I stand at the stove and poke a spatula into ground beef, breaking it into pieces. I know to use the plastic spatula so that I don’t scratch the pan. When the pink has disappeared, I drain the meat and pour in the box of noodles, packet of seasoning, milk, and water like the box instruct. I let it start bubbling, turn the heat down to the two dots, cover it, and set the timer. Every three minutes, I carefully remove the lid and stir the meal so it cooks evenly and doesn’t stick.

On Monday morning, I blearily let my Breville drip espresso into my mug as I mindlessly started scrolling instagram.

As the day continues, my
Roots and Blooms: Summer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here in Georgia, our kids return to school next week- as in THREE days from when you’re receiving this, and my goodness, I am so excited. Summer was…. well, it happened. It was full of juggling, trying to be a present mom, working 30+ hours a week, and oppressive heat. All-in-all, I give it 2 out of 5 stars. The trips to the beach and to the lake were phenomenal. Other than that, we survived. I’ve always loved back-to-school. The crispness of new school supplies, picking out new pens… I simply l
