Happy Monday. Happy mid-May. Happy week 9 of quarantine life. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and a fantastic Mother’s Day. I loved having the kids over to our house on Sunday for an at-home celebration. It’s so good to celebrate with them and have an actual conversation in person! We spent most of the weekend spring cleaning and exploring restaurant life. I also got my nails done on Friday and I am a new woman!

I’ve kept blogging and my presence on social media never slowed down during the Covid-19 pandemic. I wrote this blog post at the very beginning of the outbreak not knowing what was ahead.

It’s been six months since I hired Laura to be my assistant. She’s done a phenomenal job and just like her predecessors (Ramsey, Victoria and Brooke), there are certain qualities I look for before I hire anyone to work with me.

This is one of the most asked questions I have received over the last week. What are we going to do about our hair color and nails?
