From Black Friday deals, last-chance purchases, shopping countdowns, and the whole new year, new me energy… to the quiet (and not-so-quiet) pressure to start fresh with all your ducks in a perfectly labeled row.

Somewhere in between all that, we’re also meant to enjoy ourselves. Be present. Visit family. Host friends. Breathe.

If you’re reading this and thinking, yep, that’s me, then you’re probably also seeing the endless “transform your life,” “clean your house,” “organize everything” posts. They can inspire… but they can also overwhelm and pile on even more pressure.

So here I am (NYE dress on, standing out in the chicken coop making sure everyone’s safe during the fireworks) and I want you to hear this clearly:

You are not broken.you don’t need to do more or be more.
You are already enough.

Let the next few weeks be soft. Let them be slow. Let them simply allow you to be.
No pressure. Just presence.

(Your ducks can sort themselves out later.)

Send this to a friend who may need to hear it.

Day 4- Gratitude
This Christmas-Eve morning, with Oatesy by my side for this one— and today feels like a sacred pause. It is the most magical still morning out here. The kind where your breath is refreshing and cleansing.

Take a deep breath. Even if your heart feels heavy, there is something to be grateful for: perhaps the version of you that’s still here, still breathing, still growing.

I know holidays can stir up memories, longing, overwhelm — I’ve felt it too. And yet I’ve discovered that gratitude lifts me onto a high-flying disc, giving me a wider view. From there, even in the messiness, I can see that life still holds beauty, still offers magic.

So right now — whatever the weather inside — what is it that you are truly grateful for?

Today’s practice is simple:
release without rushing the result.

I ground my energy.
I soften my breath.
I remind myself that timing is part of the magic.

Some wishes need space, not pressure.

Come back for Day 3 reflection.

Warm Smiles,

Lindsay

As I stand here in my half-finished kitchen — floors draped in cloth, plaster dust in the air, walls waiting for their backsplash and temporary counters doing their best — I can’t help but smile. ☕️

Coffee in hand, I’m already dreaming about twinkling lights and evergreen boughs as I get ready to decorate for the holidays. ✨

Tomorrow I’ll be hosting Mindfully Molded — Christmas Edition alongside my friend Emily of , and I’m planning a little element of surprise for our guests.

But first… it’s time to prepare the MUGUP Retreat soup, sourdough, and toutons — because every bit of magic starts in the kitchen. 🕯️

Sad you missed this one? That’s ok there will be more. Would you prefer a week day experience?

I love how they support my every shenanigan. This is Joy and this is Christmas for me. The random gathering of all things pretty and fun.
Even when life is hard or sad or full of distraction, I hope that a twinkly light finds your eye and lets it spark joy in your heart this season.

Warm Smiles

On October 2nd, every town and city in Newfoundland and Labrador will elect new municipal councils. Municipal governments can have a big impact on food access and the Right to Food in this province.

Here are some questions you can ask your candidates when considering your ballot:
1) According to the latest data, 30% of folks in our province were food insecure in 2024. What are the most important things the town or city could do to improve access to food?
2) Over 8% of folks in the province were severely food insecure in 2024, meaning going hungry. What kind of support should the town or city provide to community programs that help folks access food?
3) More than 80% of communities in the province lack a grocery store nearby, and transport to these stores is usually only possible by car. How would you make it easier for folks without cars to access the food and services they need?
4) Newfoundland and Labrador is heavily reliant on food imports, and poor weather or transport issues can severely disrupt our supply chain. How could the incoming council support local food production and access to local food?

Want to know more about how to talk to candidates about their stance on the Right to Food? Check out our new blog post for these and other questions you can ask to ensure you’re voting for a future where everyone can eat with joy and dignity: https://ow.ly/ucYm50X1ueI

There’s team building—and then there’s this.

The MUGUP Meditation Experience isn’t just a walk in the woods. It’s a chance to return to yourself while deepening your connection with yourself, with those around you and as I always say “connect to the Island Essence”.

Picture this: your team nestled under the canopy of a mossy forest, guided through grounding breathwork and intention-setting, pausing to forage edible plants or herbs that tie into local recipes and old ways. We sip from our MUGUP mugs, filled with something nourishing and warm. We break bread—literally—sharing traditional Newfoundland bites and recipe ideas that carry stories and soul. And we do all this while remembering how good it feels to simply be.

Rooted in mindfulness, sprinkled with local flavor, and wrapped in connection—this is team building that sticks. And I am so honored to be the founder and guide of this magical experience. Thank you to this team for choosing the MUGUP and Me for their team building day.

A Fun Story for Our Legal Love Day

So, remember that big, beautiful Florida wedding I posted about on March 30th? The one I planned while six months postpartum with Alex? (Yes, really—because that’s the kind of ambitious, slightly sleep-deprived magic I roll with.)

Well… plot twist.

Turns out, on that day, we didn’t actually get legally married.Peter McCarthyrwork ever tells the whole story of a union anyway—but here’s what happened:

Five minutes before the ceremony, our best man Peter McCarthy pops into the bridal suite and casually asks, “Hey, do you have the marriage license?”
Cue the shared look of panic.
He knew.
I knew.
We absolutely did not have the license.

Despite being assured three times by our wedding planner that “everything would be taken care of,” this particular detail slipped through the cracks. So there we were, 41 of our loved ones waiting on the balcony(story fo Another day, sunset beach wedding dis not happen due to a speinkle of rain) for us to seal the deal, and no legal standing to do it.

The minister needed a little convincing… but I worked my magic (as one does). He agreed to proceed, a faux certificate was printed, and the ceremony went ahead with all the love in the world. We vowed to make it official back home in Newfoundland.

Which brings us to today—May 5th, our Legal Love Day.

Seven years ago today, my beautiful cousin and her husband gifted us a private ceremony. A dear friend got us into the ALT Hotel (we were the first “I Do” on the terrace!), and we planned to head to Merchant Tavern for dinner.

But of course—another twist.
Just as we finished signing the paperwork at ALT, we got a call: Merchant had to shut down for the night. Fire alarm system chaos.
No worries.
They offered us a private room at Raymonds instead (not too shabby, hey?).
