Hope you’re enjoying your summer!
I personally love using this slower time of year to catch up on things I tend to put off, like admin tasks (right now I’m working on updating my backup systems and creating a new finance overview spreadsheet… I know, thrilling stuff!). But it’s also the perfect moment to pause and reflect on my projects and think about how I want the rest of the year to unfold. I really enjoy this season, the sun rises early, the days feel longer, and that soft morning light gives me such a refreshing boost of energy.
I’m hoping this good vibe stays with me for a while and maybe it’ll inspire you too to check off a few things you’ve been meaning to get to. To help you ease into it, here are a few recipe ideas to bring some joy and motivation into your week!
