Anyone else in a funk? I am sliding in and out of this weird funk. As in one minute I’m on Cloud 9 and the next I’m near tears (or crying). Everything seems to set me off in one way or another.
Womp.
(Maybe it’s the end-of-summer-blues?)
This helps.
I saw the absolute best video on Youtube. Ever. I had goosebumps from the second it started to the second it ended.
Sarah Horn was at the LA Philharmonic and got plucked out of the audience and pulled up on stage by no other than Kristen Chenoweth. You can read Sarah’s personal recount of her experience on Broadway.com.
As a serious chorus nerd, I just can’t help but get so excited for Sarah. Isn’t it everyone’s dream to be magically “discovered”?
I have a feeling that Kristen Chenoweth was brought into Sarah’s life for a reason…
Kristen Chenoweth is a Gamma Phi Beta sister! I absolutely love this, beautiful song. I think for some the funk is getting back into the school routine and back to the craziness. This video is perfect!
Don't start feeling down, Carly! Just get up and have fun…or totally watch an episode of OITNB on Netflix. As much as I could be stressed out this time of year, I choose not to be! Your Friend, Jess
Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I just finished watching this!! Just remember how great you are and smile 🙂 so excited to visit NYC soon!
That's the perfect word for the last couple days. I wouldn't say I'm in a bad mood, but a funk is a perfect way to describe it.
Kristen Chenoweth is a Gamma Phi Beta sister! I absolutely love this, beautiful song. I think for some the funk is getting back into the school routine and back to the craziness. This video is perfect!
The idea of summer coming to an end has put me in a funk as well! But this is such a great pick me up song!

Yes, I feel you on the funk! And I saw that video last night and loved it. Maybe the cure for these blues is lots of musical theatre YouTube videos…
This video reminded me a lot of the one with Michael Buble.

I have the flu, in August, so yep I'm definitely in a funk. But that video definitely helps.

This was exactly what I needed right now.
Oh that's so funny, I posted this too on Monday! Such a magical moment!

I've been in and out of a weird funk all week too! Ugh, need to kick it!
I love this song and reading Sarah's account of singing with Kristin Chenoweth just warmed my heart. Truly touching.
