 What a week. Time change + darkness, election, more horrible violent tragedies (when will it stop/when will our government do something to make these shootings less frequent?), phew. It had all of the makings to be a hard week but wouldn't you know it? Simple joys to the rescue; it was still a really nice one. Also, on a lighter note: Daylight Savings when you have a baby/toddler. It really is THE WORST. I have been so tired this week and it's all because Charlie Mae is waking up way earlier every day because of DST! Fellow tired parents--I feel you. Now lets talk simple pleasures, shall we? What brought you happiness over the past 7 days? My #SJOTW are below... HEAR: Old T. Swift albums I went down a Taylor Swift wormhole while I was working this week. I wanted something fun to listen to and her music just felt right. I went back 3-4 albums and worked my way up and it was just what the Dr. ordered. Thanks for all the years of great music, Taylor! Keep it up! SEE: Fall leaves The fall colors finally burst onto the scene here about two weeks ago and man, are they beautiful! It took a long time for fall to arrive but now that it's here I'm doing my best to soak up every second of it that I can. TASTE: WTR MLN WTR (Cold-Pressed Watermelon Juice) One of my students gave me this treat after a sweaty class on Tuesday night and it was SO so good. Have you tried it? It seems like watermelon juice is everywhere right now and I see why--it's super refreshing. I'm such a beverage gal and love trying new ones--especially when they're as yummy as this one. SMELL: Simply Sugarless Homemade Blueberry Muffins Do you remember this recipe that Sara shared for my old column "Simply Sugarless"? Well, it's become a staple around here (when I can find the time to make them) and both Charlie Mae and I are obsessed. I think she ate like 6 min-muffins yesterday and that's about it (whoops). At least they're super healthy and sugar-free! TOUCH: My new sweatshirts! As you may have seen on social media, my new sweatshirts came in and I LOVE them. This is the comfiest sweatshirt I've ever owned--hands-down--thanks to the vintage French Terry. I've been wearing mine all week (honestly, I just make this stuff because I want it). There are a select # of each size still available in my Etsy shop, but when they're gone, they're gone, so snag yours soon! Thanks to everyone who already ordered one :) And there you have it. I hope you have an amazing weekend and I'll see you back here next week!   I am very happy [+ simultaneously very heartbroken] to report that as of last week, Sayde has a wonderful new home. In fact, this new home is *SO* wonderful that I actually feel like this horribly sad situation ended with an overall win for Sayde. I might even go as far as to say that this new home is an even better fit for her than ours has been! Despite all of the low points over the past 4.5 months--and the calls and emails to 15+ rescues that would not work with us--she is now in a crazy loving home with two new moms who have spent much of their lives rescuing and doting on what they call the "troubled teens" of the dog world. And as you probably know by now, Sayde is, indeed, a troubled teen. But she's a very lovable troubled teen who just needed the right place in order to flourish again, and I am 100% sure that we found that place. Since the horrible incident on June 10th, I have spent hours upon hours emailing, calling, and crying about Sayde. I've taken Sayde to meet multiple possible new owners and Ben and I have had tons of heart-to-hearts trying to decide what to do and how best to navigate this emotional situation. Our house became a home marked by separation and gates; so much energy has been spent keeping Sayde and Charlie Mae apart despite the tears (on Charlie Mae's part) and the barks (on Sayde's part) asking us to allow them to be together. It was very stressful. But now, it's finally over. While I'm devastated that Sayde is no longer with us, I am overjoyed that her new owners wanted an "open adoption" and have promised that we can see her whenever we want. Not only that--they live on Cape Cod and have asked if we could dog sit every once in a while when they travel. Um, YES!!! I miss Sayde's presence around our house and my days at home feel so empty and lonely now, but I look forward to watching Sayde thrive in her new home and seeing her when we can. The fact that this isn't a forever goodbye has made the entire process SO much more manageable. I also want to give a huge shout-out to the "dog adoption by owner" site, RescueMe.org, which made it possible for Sayde's new owners to find her. Without this site I would have lost hope in the re-homing process a long time ago and I have no idea where we would be right now. Also, thank YOU so much for all of your support as we navigated this challenging and sad loss as a family. I am truly grateful for everyone who reached out, shared my post about Sayde, and sent ideas/links/referrals. You guys are the best.  
Another interesting behind-the-scenes look at a well-known Cape Cod establishment! Here's a quick rundown of my interview with artist-turned-restauranteur Micheal Pearson:
When he first opened in 2005, Michael Pearson had a vision for Harvest Gallery Wine Bar: he wanted to create a funky, upscale, creative haven for Cape Cod artists, musicians, and art aficionados. Fast forward 13 years and he has done just that (+ is looking to expand!). In this episode, Michael shares his journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur on Cape Cod while also being realistic about the challenges that come along with running a restaurant, gallery, and music venue in such a seasonal place.

First Friday in November and where has 2018 gone!?!? Yet here we are. I won't go on and on about this but W O W. Lets slow things down by talking simple joys, shall we?
Here are a few of the sensory pleasures that brought me joy over the past week... HEAR: "No Roots" by Alice Merton I've been hearing this song on the radio and every time that it comes on I think about how much the singer sounds like Florence from Florence + the Machine (who I love). I finally looked her up on Spotify this week and listened to her music (not a lot more on there, unfortunately) and found out that I really like her! Listen to a snippet from this song below... SEE: Charlie Mae on Halloween I already posted about this on social media but I'll say it again here for those who missed it: Halloween with a little trick-or-treater is SO much fun! I was surprised by HOW much fun we had! Because she's not super open with strangers, I thought there was a big chance that Charlie Mae would hide in my legs every time we knocked on a door and a neighbor answered, but she didn't! She looked at each person who opened the door and said, "twick or tweet!" It MELTED me. After every house she would look at us and say, "no go home yet okay?" She obviously loved it as much as I did. TASTE: Halloween Candy (duh) I mean...obviously. We have a bunch of mini-Snickers and Peanut Butter Snickers leftover and wowee are they good. I know you get it and also I need to get these things out of our house stat. SMELL: (2) Trips to Coonamessett Farm! We went to Coonamessett Farm last weekend for a hayride and some fall festivities, and then we went again yesterday with some friends because we loved it that much. I adore everything about a farm in the fall--the smell, the leaves, the squashes and pumpkins, the animals (of course!), and how happy Charlie Mae is when she gets to run around in big spaces outside. Definitely worth the trip if you're local + have kiddos! TOUCH: Preparing my art + products for display at Centerville Yoga + Wellness Center this month I prepared and then hung my art and some of my products at Centerville Yoga this week, and it was so freeing to have a workday where I was on my computer less than usual and was using my hands to wrap, label, and prep products instead. If only I had more time to concentrate on this part of my business! #solopreneurproblems And that's it from me for this week! What brought you joy over the past 7 days? I urge you to find some time to reflect if you can... Also, a friendly reminder that today is the last day for early voting in MA! I'm headed to the polls later this morning + am excited to exercise this right. I hope you'll join me if you haven't already! Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you back here next week. 
 Happy Halloween! This is me [finally] getting my fall reading list up...just in the nick of time. Pretty soon all "fall" lists will be lost to "holiday lists," so I'm doing my part to finish out the fall before jumping headfirst into one of the craziest seasons of the year. Thus, here are a few books that are either on my list or that I highly recommend you add to your list (because I loved them)...
 
Ever wonder what it's like to run an award-winning B&B? Here's your chance to get the inside scoop from two very successful B&B owners here on Cape Cod. The episode + listening details are below:
In 2009, Tom Nortz + Rick Garceau turned their dream of running a Bed + Breakfast into a reality when they bought Captain David Kelley House in Centerville. For the first 4 years that they were in business, they ran the B&B while both still working their 9-5 jobs, but when they hit a breaking point in 2013, they took it full-time and haven't looked back since. In this episode, Tom + Rick discuss their journey from dreaming about running a B&B to being the the faces of Captain David Kelley house, which was just named one of the Top 25 B&Bs in the world by TripAdvisor.

As you can clearly see (above), after almost 8 years of sharing my Simple Joys of the Week every Friday, I've finally decided to switch from a mini-collage to just one pic of *one* of my simple joys, instead. I know, I know, it's a crazy thing to do (lol) but I'm doing it. I hope it works for you. [#simplifying]
How was your week? Wonderful, I hope! Here are some of the little pleasures that brought me joy over the past 7 days... HEAR: "Sweat" by RY X This song is one of my faves on my October class playlist. I play it near the end of class and each and every time (4x per week), I'm happy to hear it again. You can listen below: SEE: Double rainbow On Wednesday evening, while I was driving home from picking Charlie Mae up from daycare, we saw the double rainbow pictured above. It was majestic. I pulled the car over so that Charlie Mae could see her first rainbow and so that I could snap this pic. The craziest part was that I could see almost the entire thing--it was a full rainbow. It really did feel magical and somewhat spiritual. Charlie Mae was mesmerized, too! TASTE: Ben's homemade pancakes Ben has been on a made-from-scratch pancake roll and I am not upset about it. We've been having pancakes every Sunday for a few weeks now and it's been a great treat. SMELL: Seventh Generation Disinfectant Bathroom Cleaner-Lemongrass and Citrus When Charlie Mae started potty training, we bought this cleaner to clean out her little potty. Since then, it's become my go-to. Great scent, non-toxic, just spray and wipe. It's perfect for the very small amount of cleaning that I actually do (haha and eek and oops?). TOUCH: Morning snuggles with Sayde Sayde may be leaving us soon to go to her new home (*FINGERS CROSSED*/not saying much more about it until things are finalized and I'm sure it's really happening because too many options have fallen through at this point). Because of this heartbreaking [+ simultaneously very good] news, I've been spending way more time in bed snuggling with her each morning before heading downstairs to start the day. She is hands-down THE BEST snuggler in bed and I will miss her morning cuddles more than I can even bear to think about. Sigh. Also, I have to mention another huge #SJOTW that didn't fit into a category above: seeing Charlie Mae play make believe, or as she calls it, "tend" (for pretend). This week, for the first time in her little life, she's started creating these narratives and worlds in her head that she asks us to participate in. It's wild and hilarious to see what she comes up with (lots of pigs floating away in the water and we need to go get them, haha!!!). And there you go! I hope you have a fabulous fall weekend full of simple, sensory pleasures. Take some time to reflect on your #SJOTW today if you can! ;) 
October's Audio Yoga Class is ready for you! The question is, are you ready for it? ;) I know I need all of the home practice help I can get these days, so I'm ready...
Learn more about this month's 1hr class + listen below: Class Description: In this 1 hour audio yoga class we focus on expanding + contracting the entire body and drawing in + out with the breath. We also work into the outer hips and eventually, into galavasana or flying pigeon pose. This class is not for beginners; experienced practitioners only (Level 2-3 class). Recorded live. How to Listen: You can listen directly from this website (player below) or on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher (search "Starr Struck Yoga: Live Yoga Classes"). If you subscribe to this "podcast" wherever you listen to podcasts, you will automatically get each new class that I post in your podcast feed on your phone. A Note About the Audio Quality: These classes are not professional recordings, so you will hear me mess up, you'll hear students sneeze, you'll hear me whisper a specific instruction to a specific student, and at times, the audio quality might not be the best. Apologies, but hey, they're free and as authentic as you can get without being in the actual class! ;) Hope you enjoy it! 
Another Tuesday, another episode of Built on Cape Cod! And this one is REALLY inspiring, if I do say so myself.
Here's a short summary of this week's episode: Katie Clancy got her start in Real Estate in 2006, shortly before the housing crisis hit and right before she found out she was pregnant with her fourth child. Despite these challenges, Katie went on to make the big career change from teacher to real estate agent + persevered until she had grown The Cape House into a formidable real estate team--while simultaneously making a name for herself as a speaker and trainer in her field. In this episode, Katie shares her inspiring story and all of the ups-and-downs that have led her to where she is today. Learn more at TheCapeHouseTeam.com. This episode is sponsored by The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod and Rogers & Gray Insurance. Built on Cape Cod is brought to you by LoveLiveLocal + Starr Struck. How to Listen: Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Podcast Landing Page | Stream below... Thanks so much for listening + a HUGE thanks for Katie for being such a wonderful interviewee! 
 I know it's not even Halloween yet so please don't hate me for posting this, but I was getting so many requests and messages via Etsy (some people are really on top of things!) that I decided that I needed to get my act together, too, and put my holiday cards back in my Etsy shop. This year's brand-spankin'-new card design is above, as well as the oldies-but-goodies that I've enjoyed bringing back out every year for a couple of years now. You can purchase each design individually, in 8-packs of the same design, OR make your own custom 8-pack of any cards you choose...        As always, thanks for your support + thanks for shopping small this holiday season!  
Thank you all for the outpouring of love + support this week. Thank you to everyone who reached out and shared your stories with me; it's been an emotional week, to say the least. Not because of what I went through or even because of the emotions that were stirred up by writing the post or by sharing it, but because I really came to understand just how many women I know have gone through devastating pregnancy losses without my ever knowing.
As many of you have commented, you just never know what someone is going through. You really don't. But despite it being an emotionally heavy week, it was also a good one. That's life, isn't it? Here are a few of the simple, sensory joys that brought me happiness this week... HEAR: "Digressions" by Lizzy LeBleu One of my students (shout-out Stacy!) told me about this song and OMG, she was right, it is soooo up my alley. I think you'll know why when you hear it. Listen below/or on Spotify: SEE: My new planner (!!!!) Is there anything better than getting your new planner? No, no is the answer! It's so exciting! I just got mine yesterday and while I haven't actually written anything in it yet, I can't wait to do so this weekend. Get out the pretty pens... TASTE: Mango Limeade Polar Seltzer'ade Ben's Aunt brought us a case of these seltzers last Sunday since she knows that we're total seltzer addicts. I had my first one on Monday while Ben was at work and was blown away. When he got home I watched him open one, take a sip, and then look at me with big eyes--"I know," I said. We were both in awe of the taste (lol), and I say 'were' because the case is long gone. We must get more. SMELL: Alpacas + goats I know this might sound like a gross smell, but I promise you, it's not to me--I love alpacas and goats SO much! They're some of my favorite animals, for sure. Last weekend, we went on a lovely walk to visit a local mini-farm and it did not disappoint. Have you ever watched a llama or alpaca chew? It's the best and I could watch it for hours. Ben and Charlie Mae loved them, too. TOUCH: Snuggly slippers, space heater, + warm fleeces ;) It was 34 here last night and a high of only 58 yesterday! What the heck!?!?! It's been cold all week, really, so I've been bundling up and embracing the all the warmth that one can achieve with the right clothing + a space heater. We also finally turned the heat on Thursday night and that was nice, too. Other SJOTW? An amazing day with Charlie Mae yesterday, a few challenging yoga + barre classes (so great to be back after being sick + hurt!), warm Sayde snuggles, and again, all of your love in response to Wednesday's post. You all are the best. That's it for this week! I hope you have a lovely, simple joy-filled weekend. See you back here next week! 
 The image above was taken on August 12th, just over 2 months ago. I was 10 weeks along and felt like my belly had just started to pop; this being my 2nd pregnancy, my uterus knew what was up and had started to expand immediately. I was over the moon, feeling great, and excited to hear my baby's heartbeat at my 10 week appointment in just a few days. Needless to say, I didn't ever hear my baby's heartbeat. What I didn't know when this picture was [excitedly] taken was that my baby's heart had already stopped beating. Our baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks, but was still nestled inside of my uterus while I--oblivious to this fact--snapped pictures meant to capture what I thought was my growing belly. Within a few days of this picture being taken, after the appointment where my midwife couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler, after the excruciating 24 hours in which I waited for the ultrasound that would tell us what was happening inside my body, after the heartbreaking 10 minutes lying on a table in the dark, watching the ultrasound tech move her wand around my belly without saying a word--and knowing what her silence meant--we'd scheduled a D&C, a surgical procedure that would remove our deceased baby from my belly. It was horrible. It felt like a nightmare. I couldn't stop crying and I felt like it was my fault. All of the cliches about the emotions associated with pregnancy loss are cliches for a reason: I felt all of those things. While some women say that it wasn't helpful for them to hear how common pregnancy loss is, I found it very helpful. I took comfort in the statistics that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss. Not because I wanted this for other people, but because if it was extremely common, then maybe that didn't make it my fault. Maybe my baby really wasn't going to be able to survive in this world and that's why it stopped growing, not because I took an ibuprofen long before I knew I was pregnant, or demonstrated a deep twist in one of my classes when I was just a few weeks along. And I took comfort in all of the female family members who called to tell me that this had happened to them in the past, too, in between child 1 and 2, or child 2 and 3. It gave me hope that I would be able to go on and have another healthy baby someday, too. The thing about pregnancy loss is that you're not just mourning the loss of this child that you were growing in your belly and are no longer going to get to meet, but you're also mourning the life plans that you had set up around this baby's impending arrival. Ben and I had started planning what our maternity and paternity leaves would look like. We knew what the rough age difference between our two kids would be and imagined Charlie Mae having a playmate sooner rather than later. We had a hazy outline of how the beginning of 2019 would go; after all, if we were having a baby in March, that would change the year in a big way. But then in just 24 hours, we'd lost all of that "stability." We knew our plans weren't really stable in the first place, but we'd hoped that they could be and had talked things out because that's what you do. We'd done this before and it had gone smoothly (the pregnancy part, not the child birth or child raising part, ha!) so we had just gone ahead with our life, planning around this big event as if it would happen for us again. And then out of nowhere, it ended. And we had to deal with that. I will say that in my personal experience, I felt that our loss was made easier because we already have Charlie Mae. I was able to look at her and hug her and not only feel enormous gratitude that I already had a healthy, wonderful child, but also be reminded that my body had done this before and that hopefully, that means it can do it again. I was also acutely aware, during all of this, of just how difficult it must be to suffer multiple losses, one after another, while hoping for a child. Or to be someone who can't get pregnant at all and wants to. It's all so devastating and complicated and just plain sad. So much sadness. But then you have to wake up and go on with your day: you get up early and get your child ready, you take her to the park, you respond to emails, you eat lunch, you teach a yoga class, you scroll through your phone, you go to the grocery store. No one knows that you've just been dealt a big blow and you don't tell them because you don't want to talk about it, but you carry it around, feeling empty inside when you felt so full only one week ago. And then you keep waking up and going through your days and dealing with life and the sadness starts to fade. At one point you think, 'I won't be able to talk about this publicly for a long time' and then only a little while later, you realize that it's National Pregnancy + Infant Loss Awareness Month, and you see everyone else sharing their stories of loss and you're surprised to find that you're ready to talk about your loss, too. If nothing else than to tell that woman who is scrolling through her phone while in bed, recovering from a miscarriage or another loss, that she is not alone, that you understand, and that you're sorry. You're so, so sorry.  
Another episode of BOCC is out this week, and this time around I interviewed my first restauranteur, Jamie Surprenant. Here's a little bit of info about the episode:
Jamie Suprenant grew up in the restaurant business on Cape Cod and didn't waste any time becoming a restauranteur in his own right. He opened his first restaurant in 1995 and since then has gone on to open 5 more: Five Bays Bistro, Anejo (two locations!), Crisp, and Crisp Too. In this episode, Jamie shares how he became the owner of multiple restaurant concepts on Cape Cod + discusses some of the challenges associated with being in the hospitality business in such a seasonal community. This episode is sponsored by Rogers & Gray Insurance. Built on Cape Cod is brought to you by LoveLiveLocal + yours truly. How to Listen: Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Podcast Landing Page | Stream below... Enjoy and thanks so much for sitting down to have a conversation with me, Jamie! 
 These weeks...this life...so fill of ups and downs. Such a rollercoaster! As I'm sure you saw, we lost my Great Aunt this week. But also my dad and his girlfriend were in town through yesterday (when my dad returned early to be with grieving family), and having them visit was really, really wonderful. But also I was pretty sick the first few days of this week, which was a bummer. But also we had a promising lead in the Sayde situation (fingers crossed + please send good thoughts!). It all just keeps on coming, doesn't it? The good, the bad, the sad, and everything in between. This is it, y'all. So lets talk simple joys. What made you smile this week? My favorite simple pleasures of the past 7 days are below... HEAR: Without Fail Podcast Another great podcast! There are so many good ones out there, with more amazing shows popping up every day, but I was an immediate fan of this one. It's hosted by Alex Blumberg, CEO of Gimlet Media and former host of Startup (Season 1 is one of my all time fave seasons of any show), and he interviews successful people in a really honest, down-to-Earth way. Worth a listen, I promise. SEE: Charlie Mae with my dad + his GF, Emily During this visit, I saw Charlie Mae at her most comfortable with my dad and Emily. She's always loved both of them, but on this trip it felt like I could really do anything I needed and she was fine staying home with them. They put her to sleep 3 of the 5 nights they were here, they watched her when I had meetings, they let me sleep when I was sick and she was fine turning things over to them...it was so great seeing her have so much fun with family AND realizing that someday, maybe they could come stay with her while Ben and I go on vacay (a girl can dream, right?)... TASTE: Anniversary dinner (we went on a date!!!) Ben and I went on a date while we had built-in childcare + celebrated our anniversary! It was so delicious and fun, despite the fact that I was sick on the date (#momlife). We went to our anniversary dinner staple, Villagio Ristorante, and as usual, it did not disappoint. SMELL: Cough drops + honey Charlie Mae is obsessed with honey (because of course she is) and because of this, we've been having honey on toast quite a bit these days. Or should I say, she's been having honey on toast, and when she doesn't finish hers, I do, because it's really delicious. I was also extremely thankful for honey in my tea this week, as it was a big help in keeping me from coughing while teaching yoga--as were cough drops. Cough drops + honey to the rescue! TOUCH: Shipping out a BIG wholesale greeting card order (500 cards!) Last week, I received my biggest wholesale card order to date. For a small "shop" like me, 500 cards is a ton of cards to package up and send out all at once. I hadn't realized how long it might take me alone, so when my dad and Emily volunteered to stuff cards for me while they were here--and it then took the two of them a couple of hours to complete (!!!)--I was extremely thankful. Shipping that big, heavy box out yesterday felt great. And there you go! That's it for this week. I hope you can find the time to reflect on your #SJOTW today, too. Btw, have you listened to Built on Cape Cod yet? This weekend is your chance to catch up; a new episode drops Tuesday!    Yesterday, in the wee hours of the morning, my Great Aunt moved on from this world. She was 91 (almost 92!) and was like a grandmother to me. "Butch," as we lovingly called her (a nickname she's had forever), has been a staple in my life since I was born. Growing up she attended all of my sporting events, concerts, and art shows, and as an adult she has continued to be a huge part of my life despite living far away--even going as far as to come visit us on Cape Cod last year at Thanksgiving (when she was 90!!!). Butch was someone that I felt might live forever. She was still sharp as a tack at 91 and I think she might have lived forever if she hadn't had Stage 4 Cancer, which they discovered just a little less than 2 months ago. I'm not a religious person and I don't have any clear beliefs about what happens to our souls when we die, but I had a middle-of-the-night experience on the night that Butch left this world that makes me believe that there is something powerful that happens as we leave/when we leave. It's too hard to explain here and too big to sum up in words, but suffice it to say that I knew when Butch died and I felt it--I had a dream-like experience that woke me up crying and I knew she was gone without having any official confirmation of it yet. This experience was wild and reaffirmed for me how deeply we are connected to our family and to our loved ones. I will miss Butch *so* much but I am also so glad that I got to say goodbye and that she knew how loved she was when she passed. So today, with this post, I celebrate all of the strong, intelligent, steadfast, beautiful women who have come before me. I celebrate Butch and all of the love that she gave to this world (and all of the hardships that she endured but pushed through). I feel so grateful to have known her + loved her, and am honored to be a part of her lineage.  |
