Hi Reader,

​

Whew. We made it. May-cember is over *peeks around the corner*

​

Are we all still standing?

​

Oh, May. Our minds may have moved on to dreaming of backyard barbecues, pool days, and late sunsets spent catching fireflies....

​

...but we still had weeks of class parties, school ceremonies, field trips, field days, and the looming reality of no school for the kiddos for the next 2 months. Whoa.

​

It was also the month where “one more thing” just keeps piling on.

​

So it makes sense that my calendar still looks like it lost a bet. 😅

​

If that sounds familiar—high five, my friend. We did it! And I have one thing I want to hand you today that’ll make at least one part of your business easier:

​

👉 This blog post on image sizes. It’s short, bookmark-worthy, and actually helpful.

If you create content of ANY kind, and use images, you will want to book mark that--it's your go-to cheat sheet.

​

You’ve got enough on your plate. There's one less thing you need to search for every time you create something.

​

Happy summer hustle–with maybe a little more breathing room. Now go hit up your friends with pools! (or if you have one, call me 🤙🏼)

​

PS: I’m quietly prepping to launch a website template shop this summer—and I’m looking for a few beta testers 👀
Want a mad-lib style, professionally designed site (with me in your corner) for a steal? Hit reply and I’ll send the details. You’ll just need a week in June to work on it.

WEBSITES in the wild

Most people get this wrong. Even though it’s technically the place to tell your story, your About Page is not really about you. Everyone just wants to know one thing--WIIFM
​
^^^Think of it as your highlight reel with a purpose. Def not a biography or a memoir—it's a mirror that shows visitors what’s possible when they work with you.

This well-written (& designed) About Page from Julian Leaver Events is chefs kiss. They drop their credentials in a 'here's what YOU get' kinda way, then highlight the process of how easy it is to work with them. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

WEEKLY ROUNDUP

​

📖 READING: All it Takes is a Goal by Jon Acuff 👍👍

📺 BINGING THIS: My kids are on a Full House kick right now, so we're blowing through that pretty quickly.

🍽️ IN THE KITCHEN: Strawberry Upside Down Cake. This was one of the very first things I ever learned how to make in the kitchen, and it's still requested on the reg.

🔨 WORKING ON: Making Squarespace templates badder and better than ever (srsly reply backy if you need one before I take the page down to revamp it)
