The Sunday Sweet Edit | No. 40

Hi, sweet friends! This Sunday Sweet Edit we head home from visiting family in northern Wisconsin today and, man… There is just something about being in the middle of nowhere where the air is crisp and clean and the stars shine so brightly at night. It’s a little slice of heaven.

Stay tuned tomorrow for our second Gift Guide! This time it’s all about the little ones…

Should a political candidate’s health come into play in term’s of his/her fitness to serve? Should it be public knowledge? Should presidential candidates be required to complete a cognitive test? Jay and I discuss (and disagree on) this issue. Plus, I share a Selena and Hailey update (DID YOU SEE THE PIC?) and we talk about a whole lot of 90’s nostalgia and a few Wait. What? moments…

On Monday, we had a solo episode! I answered your questions about cravings and anxiety, which led me to a discussion about counting days. Does it help you feel empowered in sobriety? If it doesn’t and instead feels punitive, this episode is for you.

Friday was another bonus episode with another “real mom,” Sarah. If you’re sober curious and aren’t exactly sure how alcohol fits into your life, I think you’ll find this conversation so helpful.

The Real Sober Moms with Megan – The Sober Mom Life

Real Sober Mom Megan is here today to share her extremely important (and relatable!) sobriety story.  On the outside, Alcohol never seemed like a ‘problem’ in Megan’s life. But on the inside, something felt increasingly off. After receiving two very different opinions from health professionals regarding her drinking, she needed answers to the big question: what was an acceptable level of drinking for her? So, she began detective work! Megan took herself on a long series of stops and starts, paying attention to every detail and educating herself along the way. One year and three months ago she made her decision: it was time to fully embrace sobriety.  Megan wants you to know: you are so close to experiencing the beauty on the other side of sobriety. Keep going!  Megan recommends This Naked Mind.  Join us inside the Sober Mom Life Cafe! For just $15/month, you get access to weekly meetings, bonus episodes, a Discord chat, a monthly book club, the option to share your story on The Real Sober Moms, and so much more!

what I wore last week…

(The only problem with my new Prada shearling slides? I can’t NOT wear them every single day. They’re too crazy comfy.)

I shared this faux fur jacket in my Five Favorite post last Friday because it’s a hands down favorite. I wear it for everyday #momlife because why the hell not. My utility pants are on sale and a great jeans alternative. They’re high-waisted and super comfy.

We sold out this gorgeous cardigan earlier this fall, but it’s been restocked! Some sizes are on preorder, but I highly suggest ordering it if you were bummed that you missed out on it the first time. I get compliments every time I wear it. I’m wearing XS.

I’ll be wearing this Pro Roe sweatshirt everyday between now and the mid-terms…

don’t miss…

Madewell’s buy more, save more sale is on! Save 25% off $100+ and 30% off $200+.

Did you see? I shared my Five Favorite | Fall Jackets post on Friday!

This rain jacket from The North Face was the best seller of the post so far…
