This Bundle is going live today - and I have a brand new product I'm contributing! 🥳

Dear Reader, Personally, I have never liked the term "homemaker." We're all homemakers, not just the image of what a 1950's homemaker might look like.

{HMW} Unlock your brain's natural portion control system

Dear Reader, Have you noticed how the first few bites of chocolate cake taste absolutely incredible, but by bite ten, it's lost some of its appeal?

Your taste buds literally become fatigued by the same flavor, creating a natural stopping point—if you're conscious and aware. This biological mechanism evolved to ensure we consumed a range of nutrients rather than filling up on just one...

New! I tried to wait until tomorrow to send this...ah well.

Dear Reader, I'm excited to announce the launch of my new "pay-what-you-can" shop on Kit!
