Going on summer break✌🏻

I'll be back after Labor Day! xx

Summer is here!! What are your summer plans?

I plan on spending time at our family cabin in Wisconsin doing the whole ‘lake life’ thing (why yes, our cabin is covered in “Live Laugh Love” -esq. signs, how did you know?). I also have some friend trips, weddings, and a trip to Morocco and Portugal planned with Mike, Jack, Pete, and friends, I’m so excited!

With unpredictable childcare and so many changes in my schedule, it’s hard to share as often as I do so I’ll be taking a break for summer. I plan on returning after Labor Day refreshed and revived! Not only that, I have some ideas for interviews I want to share with you and maybe even video content?? I need time to get that together.

So0, this will be the first and last time you hear from me this summer. I don’t know about you, but now that the sun’s out - I’m checked out. You too?

Permission to chill

Granted.

See you in September,
Cat

P.S. My dear paid subscribers, I plan on reaching out once a month this summer to share a “Link Party: aka links of things I like” segment with you. In fact, here’s one just for kicks! Thank you for your continued support. Honestly, it means the world to me.

How to get rich AF, with Vivian Tu and Caroline Chambers: I’m researching video content right now on Substack and stumbled into this! I started listening to Vivian Tu’s book, Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life on Spotify months ago and honestly forgot about it until I saw this, I gotta get back to it. She’s has such great advice (Substack Podcast)

For your pregnant friend: One of my friends is having a baby soon and I sent her a kindle as a baby present. I’m proud of myself for this gift idea because it puts focus on the mom and is actually useful postpartum in an enjoyable way. I had a kindle for years and never used it, but when I started nursing all hours of the day and night - one handed reading became key. It’s also great for when you’re in “nap jail” and holding baby while they sleep. Steal this gift idea from me! (Amazon)

A new way to think about the transition to motherhood with Alexandra Sacks: When Pete was born, I watched this and it made me feel better about everything. My only wish is that I found it sooner. Something to share with your mom friend (Ted Talk)
