That’s the fastest I’ve ever ordered anything. Love your rules, and especially #2, which def unlocked something for me. Good luck with the move!

#2 is my favorite. When I realized that it totally shifted how I make things.

A great post to lead into a great hiatus. May everything be just as easy as you think it will be challenging.

Oh, BTW, with that quote from Knox . . . the food budget is going to be astronomical when he's a teen.

Moving house can be pretty stressful, so I completely understand your choice of pausing the newsletter.

See you again in the fall!

Those are great rules! Number 4 is something I've been training lately, though I'm not very good at it!

Have a good move! I'll miss the newsletter, it's so good!

I’m also bad at #4. Maybe that one is more of a “I wish this was a rule” rule
