I always enjoy a Kelsey coffee date post! I'm so sorry about your tree, though; I'd feel the same way. (Thinking about trees and how much we love them as individuals made me think of this newish picture book you might like reading to the kids--Leafy Landmarks: Travels With Trees, by Michelle Schaub.)
Love the “Friday rounds” routine! My new routine bringing me joy is also a morning run — there is a lovely 1 mile paved trail right near one of my kids’ schools. Now that the weather is getting good here, I’ve started going for a short run (just 2 miles!) on the trail after dropoff, then driving home to shower and start work. It’s so nice to have that outside time in the morning, and also such a nice buffer between dropoff for 3 kids and starting my work day!
That sounds lovely and a very nice way to transition from mom mode into work mode. Do you listen to anything while you run or just enjoy ambient outside sounds?
Usually podcasts! Love listening to you and Erica on the girl next door 🙂…plus the mom hour, bad on paper, various TV recap podcasts, and a smattering of pop culture podcasts from the Ringer

Aw thank you Emma. I am going to go see if I can request that book from the library, it sounds wonderful. And what delightful alliteration too.

Aww thanks! Sounds like a great line up of running company.
