Catch Up With Christina 4.15
the nostalgic reset + statement jeans + fave game
CURRENTLY INTO
Watching: All the spring blooms in our backyard! It’s looking so good out there.
Shopping: I’m kind of obsessed with these pearl floral statement jeans.
Eating: Add these two ingredients to your list for Pineapple Dump Cake this weekend.
Reading: The insane flag football tournament schedule for Thomas this weekend.
Listening to: Yesteryear… a tradwife influencer wakes up in 1855 and has to figure out if it’s a hoax, a reality show, or something far more sinister.
Loving: Caroline is skipping her overnight school trip this week, so we’re heading out for a quick girls getaway to one of our favorite places for a hike, a mountaintop snackle box picnic, and a rom com in bed.
CURRENTLY CIRCULATING
Things I’ve been sending to friends or bookmarking…
My favorite card game to play solo or with a group!
These Rotisserie Chicken Enchiladas are on our meal plan this week.
Sharing our go-to backseat travel tray organizer for road trips. Holds a tablet, a tray for lunch, and pockets for literally everything else.
If you grew up in the ’90s, this list of nostalgic things will take you straight back — 20 throwbacks that defined our childhood and we’ll never forget.
My new rice cooker is making lunch meal prep way easier, especially for these steak and rice bowls we’ve been eating this week.
Restocked our favorite THC seltzers (code CHRISTINA15 if you want to try them).
The laundry stripping trick that makes everything feel brand new.
This screen-free digital camera we got for summer camp was a huge hit on spring break.
THOUGHT DROP
Lately I’ve been hearing about this idea of a “nostalgic reset,” and it makes so much sense.
Basically, when you listen to music from a really specific time in your life, middle school, high school, that one summer you’ll never forget, your brain lights up in a way that just feels good. Like instant mood shift.
Apparently there’s actual research behind it too. It taps into memory in a way that can lower stress, make you feel less lonely, and weirdly make your life feel more cohesive.
All of which to say, that playlist you haven’t touched in years? Might be worth revisiting.
