July felt like one long “terrible, horrible, no good, very bad” month. It was one thing after another, with no neat resolution in sight. In the middle of all the mess, I kept coming back to something simple…

I’ve gone back and forth on this decision for years… and I finally did it: The Wonderment Community is officially open — and what I decided to do with it might surprise you…

It’s June—and if you’re anything like me, summer has a way of slipping through your fingers before you even realize it’s begun.

Somewhere around mid-May, it hits me: Summer is Coming. The kids will be home, our rhythms will shift, and life will fill up quickly with sunshine, plans, and people. And I used to find myself buying school supplies at the end of summer, wondering where it all went. So, a few years ago, I decided I didn’t that enough was enough…

I really didn’t plan to rebrand my entire business… and yet, here we are. 😆 What started as casually watching a YouTube series somehow turned into a deeply creative hyperfocus — in the best way. And honestly? I think this might be my favorite version of Chasing Wonderment yet. 🤩

Hello… How are you?

Sooo… I was not planning on there being a month between my last post. I was literally planning to post the next day.

And then we got the slowest-moving virus ever. It took us two full weeks to feel better. And just when we thought we were getting better, our youngest woke up sick.

I haven’t really known where to start when it comes to sharing content on here, so… I’m just gonna START.

2025 was rough.
Like — really rough.

I was, quite literally, sick and tired.

Somewhere between motherhood, chronic illness, and throwing my hair in a messy bun, I realized I’d lost my sense of style without even noticing. I didn’t mean to… but one day I blinked, and apparently all I owned were leggings! This is the story of how I’ve stopped waiting for “someday” and have started learning how to dress like myself again.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared an update here… and I think it’s time for the kind of post that feels more like sitting down over coffee rather than a “business announcement” or life advice. ☺️ So… grab a cup of joe ☕ and settle in for a heart update and to see what’s next for Chasing Wonderment. 🌿

This year, when I sat down with my usual journaling prompts to plan our summer, something hit me hard:

It’s probably our kids’ last little kid summer. 🥹

You know the kind I mean — the ones filled with muddy feet from backyard sprinklers, sticky popsicles that drip down elbows, and catching lightning bugs in jars on warm summer evenings.

And suddenly, there was a bittersweet ache I didn’t expect.
