Coffee with Christina (May 2025)

If we were grabbing coffee today, I’d probably be running a few minutes late—but I’d show up excited and ready to dive straight into a fun chat. And of course, I’d have to tell you about a few little things that have been bringing me happiness lately. Nothing major, just the small stuff that’s adding a little extra sparkle to life recently.

5 Things Bringing Me Happiness Recently…

1. Not letting go of a hug first. There’s something about holding my kids (or Matt) for just a few extra seconds and letting them be the one to end it. I’ve started doing it intentionally, and it gets me every time.
2. When your cocktail comes out exactly how you pictured it. IYKYK. The glass, the garnish, the color—just vibes. Bonus points if it’s served in a coupe and looks like it belongs in a reel.
3. Tweens getting ready together. Recently I’ve started dropping Caroline off at friends’ houses to get ready together before school events, birthday parties, etc. and I freaking love it. Getting ready with girlfriends has always been one of my favorite things in life—swapping mascara and chatting away while curling our hair—and seeing her do it now totally fills my heart.
4. When Mabel looks back at me on a walk. It’s the little head turn to check in and make sure we’re both having fun. Like yes girl, I am having the best time—thank you for checking.
5. Candlelight dinners…on a Tuesday. No occasion. Just me lighting a few taper candles for taco night. Instantly feels 10x more special and the kids tend to slow down and chat more. Win-win.
