My Friday Favorites are back this week and I’m talking all about this fun dress (see above!), a cute clutch, a great new book, and much more! So head on over to my blog and check it all out. Happy weekend! Enjoy the ☀️!

Anyone else like me where you can’t even dream about recapping your vacation until you’re unpacked, laundry is done, and the house is back to how it was before you left on your trip? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I hate that I’m this way, but the nice thing is that as I sit and look at my spring break pictures today, all is right in my world!

We had the best time in Florida last week! It was a different kind of spring break for us this year. Our college and high school breaks didn’t match up so we decided to make the most of the long weekend for Easter. It took six separate flights to get us all into Florida, but we did it! I was worried about this being over the top, flying everyone in to Sarasota for just a few days, but I’m so glad that we did. And here’s why.

☀️The older my kids get, the more I realize how hard it is to get them all in one place. (We really missed our Grace this year, but she was on vacation with my sister so I knew she was in a good spot!)

☀️ When you can get your kids AWAY, you really get the best visits with them and they get the best visits with each other! The bigger their lives get, the harder it is to get their attention.

☀️ When you are a born and bred Midwesterner like me, you can’t put a price on the value of sunshine in March! We had three straight days of total warmth and sunshine in Sarasota and it’s amazing what that Vitamin D can do for the body and soul!

I was also able to add an extra day on to my vacation to visit my parents who are in Florida for the month and my sister who was in town for a baseball tournament with her family. We spent the day in Palm Beach, which I think may be one of the most beautiful places in all world. It was a last-minute decision to meet up with my sister and follow my parents around for the day, but it was AWESOME!

I’ll be thinking about Florida until the sun comes out again in Lake Forest. Until then, I will happily recap where we stayed and ate in Sarasota and post on the blog very soon. But bottom line, if you can take the trip...take the trip! And even better if you can get your kids to come along! XO

Last week my son Jimmy asked me what I do when I’m home all alone. 😂 Well today, I’m hard at work thinking about all the pink things I can wear on spring break. Which one do you like best? 🌸

So, I did a thing.

Earlier this year, I was presented with a job opportunity in a communications department at a prestigious Chicago hospital. It was a full-time role—mostly hybrid—doing the kind of writing I’ve been doing for the last 15 years. With only Jimmy home and him getting his driver’s license next month, I thought…what the heck? Why not go for this? It’s a chance to contribute financially to my family while doing really meaningful work.

After a month of interviews and writing assignments, I found out last Friday that they decided to go with someone else. I didn’t get the job. But rather than feeling rejected, I’m really proud of how I went about this whole process.

When I was interviewing for jobs in my 20s, I felt like I had to contort myself into what the employer was looking for, always crossing my fingers that we would both be happy with the end result. But now interviewing for a job in my 50s, I was completely confident in putting all of my cards on the table. I wanted them to know exactly who they were talking to and what I was offering. When I didn’t get the offer last week, I knew I wasn’t the right fit—that this door had to close for another to open. I’m meant for something else. I find great peace in that.

I only share this humbling moment because it felt great to put myself out there. And truthfully, the only thing I was nervous about was how I would survive in an office where the dress code is no denim! 😳 I know I have so many friends that are staring at the reality of an empty house and a whole lot of “what’s next” thoughts. I’m here to say that we’re not too old and we have a whole lot left to offer—we just have to find the right thing. And you know what? We’re not going to unless we take a few chances. Let’s take those chances! 💪🏻❤️
