He's standing on landscaping timber, I'm short, but not that short. And yes, my pajammies were full on tie-dye this morning.

#MyBestFinn I couldn't be more excited and proud of you as you head off to your first day of high school at Hodgson Vo-Tech.The fact that you have chosen to learn culinary skills, masonry, mechanics and drafting is so awesome. I want you to know that I fully believe in your ability to excel in these areas and any others that you choose to explore.

Immerse yourself in the world of flavors, techniques, and creativity. Whether you're in the kitchen or tinkering with mechanics or building something, give it your all.

Ask questions, seek knowledge, and stay curious about the world around you.

While it's important to work hard, don't forget to enjoy the journey. Have fun, make friends, and enjoy every moment ❤️ #SilverEagles

My moods have been ebbing and flowing like the tides of the ocean so, I drove Finn and Amelia out in search of the Super Blue Moon in Pisces, or whatever it's called, and we met with some overcast skies. These are our best photos, and not for a lack of trying 📸 🌚💙

I hope others were able to capture something a bit more clear from their neck of the woods!

To my Brae, I contemplated posting this because I don't want to embarrass you. But my hope is that, even if it is not today, that someday you will look back on this with appreciation and pride.

Today, you began your first year of taking college classes at the University of Delaware. It isn't the plan you envisioned, but it's good and sometimes we are put onto paths with extra speed bumps to force us to slow down and trust in the process.

Your determination and resilience are truly inspiring, and I have no doubt that you will succeed in all that you set out to achieve.

I want you to know that I am here for you every step of the way. I believe in you and your abilities, and I know that you will make the most of this opportunity to learn and grow.

Remember to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally, and to reach out for help when you need it.

With much love, always, Mom.

Finn, Amelia and I binged the first four episodes

Finn, Amelia and I binged the first four episodes of Harlan Coben's Shelter on Prime tonight. So, of course we made popcorn.

It is very good, a little dark, intense, but some silly and sweet moments mingled in. Mickey, Spoon and Ema are a fab trio, I love their friendship. This is meant to be a young adult series. The story is kind of in pieces and I am not yet sure who to trust. But the premise seems to be around protecting children in danger and starts with children who escaped a train during the Holocaust.

We are anxious for the next episode. New shows come out on Thursdays.

I'm extremely proud of myself for making time to exercise every day for the last 20 weeks straight. Even on the worst of days. Even when getting out of bed feels next to impossible. Maybe it is 20 minutes, maybe it is 90 minutes, whatever I can do, I do it.

Our brain is an incredibly powerful tool. It can be our saving grace and our downfall. However, regular exercise can remodel the reward system in the brain, leading to higher circulating levels of dopamine. Dopamine makes the brain more sensitive to joy!

If you don't believe the smile on my sweaty face, I've dropped a source below.

Getting back in the saddle
Putting boots in the gravel
Leaving her memory in an ol' dust cloud
Ditching this missing him merry go round
Baby, whatever we say
We been drinking and we ain't
Trying to ride off into a red sunset
Nah, this is just you and me trying to forget
Getting back in the saddle
