4- Things I Want to Embroider

1. A treehouse

2. A rose bouquet for my mom, at her request

3. Another RBG design

4. A leafy monogram of C&S, since everyone in my house has first names and last names that start with either letter (I have am CS and my husband Scott and son Sawyer are both SC)

3-Ways to Stay Sane on the Treadmill (that I’ve been using like crazy)

1. Save all Instagram stories for the day

2. Write out a plan and stick to it (minutes 1-6 run, 6-8 walk, 8-10 sprint, 10-20 incline walk, etc…)

3. Take a few breaks to lift weights or do core work

2-Preordered Books 

1. Daisy Jones and the 6 by Taylor Jenkins Reid

2. Margaret Atwood’s follow up to The Handmaid’s Tale, due out in the fall

1- I want more than anything

1. Twenty-four hours in a hotel room in the desert or mountains, alone. I desperately want to read and sleep (and sleep and read and read and sleep). This hotel will need a full spa and room service, too. Thanks.
