5/14 Starting Five

Welcome back!

Last week was a whirlwind. I felt like I didn’t get much “work” done, but then I reminded myself the small business grind never stops. Whether I’m attending events, grabbing dinner with friends, working from a coffee shop, substitute teaching, or showing up in new spaces, I’m putting myself, and therefore Power Forward, out there. #marketing

Anyway, in no particular order:

#1 - Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack

The ultimate shlepping bag. This thing can hold my life and then some.

#2 - Field Day!!!

I subbed for 4th grade field day and the sweet sweet nostalgia took away any feelings of exhaustion. (The six teachers beat a class of 16 students in tug-of-war btw.)

#3 - Expensive Basketball by Shea Serrano

Feel-good, hilarious, and refreshing.

#4 - Watercolors

I love how watercolor painting forces me to let go of perfection.

#5 - Finding the perfect gift at a local shop.

I found this cutie for kids I babysit who are moving out of New Jersey. ❤️
