Coming to you a day early, happy Thanksgiving! We’re going to take a rest and reset for the month of December. See you in 2026!
Every week we turn on college football, and every week I ask, "Which game are Gus and Joel on?" My love for Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt increases with every watch. Whether they're betting each other $1 on what the call is going to be after a review, or Gus is losing his ever-loving mind over a play, or we get a new saying to throw around the house like "Take that, Joel Klatt!" — they are winners.
I feel like I'm aging myself by admitting that I'm most loyal to announcers and coaches (hello Harbaugh family and Dan Campbell with his readers), but it's absolutely one of my favorite parts of sports. We are looking forward to a football filled holiday weekend!

Why TikTok is Addicting. It’s so important to know how these apps mess with your brain. Watch out for the spiral! 🌀
Reading Novels for Advice. “Even better, novels give us the time and space to see how a question unfolds into a life, to watch a single choice reverberate across years or generations. They slow us down. They elongate the moment between cause and effect, and in that stretch, they invite us to see ourselves more clearly.” 📚
Nike & Lego Playground. Wow, my kids would love this! 🛝
 The Q by Beth BrowerI speed-read this one in the last 48 hours before my Kindle Unlimited trial expired. My original plan was just to get it started, and then maybe buy the physical copy if I liked it enough. But it sucked me in! I was worried this would feel like an Emma M. Lion knock off, but this story is a work of it’s own. The story didn’t end in the way I was hoping, but it still somehow felt like a happily-ever-after. |  PuremichiganMichigan in the summer feels like the best kept secret (why are you crazy people going to Florida in mid-July?!).

Wesaredistributed. A new-ish remote job website. If I ever talk about going back to in person work, somebody check on me.
Tear Stain Remover. My dog has the goopiest eyes and I’ve not been able to keep them clean for the life of me. This cheap little comb has totally fixed our problem.
Nordic Ware Starry Night Stamps. I bought these for the cookies below. They feel a little luxurious and make the cookies extra special.
Insight Timer. This app has crazy helped with my insomnia. Some of the tracks are a little “woo woo” for me, but the sleep stories are so comfy and boring and turn off my mind for sleep.
