I'm back to work after our INCREDIBLE three-week trip to New Zealand and Australia, which I will share loads more about (including photos like this one!) in my next newsletter. Subscribe here: eepurl.com/dKoXQw Until then, here's some shameless work-related promo...

I’m a week into our 3-week vacation to the other side of the world. (It’s been wonderful so far!) ✈️ Tomorrow, my youngest son will perform with his orchestra at the Sydney Opera House. 🤍

One of the reasons why I love my job is because I genuinely love to read. I’m usually juggling three books at a time: one for work, two for fun. This week, I’m working on a thriller, reading a rom-com eARC, and listening to historical fiction. All of them are fantastic! 💙📚

Not a great day for our furnace to start acting up. 🥶😭
