A poem for you today. Happy Fall!

All the words that I gather,

And all the words that I write,

Must spread out their wings untiring,

And never rest in their flight,

Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,

And sing to you in the night,

Beyond where the waters are mooring,

Storm-darken'd or starry bright.

— W.B. Yeats

Embrace Deep Casual Hosting. Being real… my community knows no other way and it’s lovely. 🏘️
Taylor Swift has made herself too big to fail. Whether you’re a new or long-time fan, this is a good starter on the TSwift mania. 🎤
Failed Constitutional Amendments. Electing the president by lot is a pretty wild idea. 🇺🇸
Vogue’s Wardrobe Essentials. Love a simple style guide. Scan and then find budget friendly versions! 🛍️

The Paper

We all expected an Office knock off to have no chance of living up to the original, right? But I am so impressed by this team’s ability to create a spinoff that is a totally new show while still somehow feeling familiar. Sometimes the jokes seem like something Michael or Dwight would say, which is a nice nostalgic feeling.

LOTR (Movies)

I’m honestly still recovering from my Emma M Lion hangover, and so find myself returning to old favorite instead of consuming anything new. I put these on as background noise during work, but gosh they’re so good. Controversial opinion: Better than the books!

50 cent adjusted for inflation. I try to keep it light but every now and then you need these hard-hitting stories. 🪙
Sky Key. The tool that saves you money on flights you’ve already booked! I’m not entirely sure how it works but it’s free to use until they save you cash. 🛩️
Lindt Mini Pralines. I sent these to my parents for their anniversary and they were big fans. Maybe I’ll order a box for myself… 🍫
Floor Chair. We’ve had this 8 years and I think I finally need to replace it. It’s nice to have some back support while playing with kids or the dog.
- Also resharing the flexible claw clip since my link was broken last time!

Beef Stew

Hands down my favorite Beef Stew recipe. I’m typically annoyed by having to cook something before throwing it in the crockpot, but you can do it the night before and then have less tasks in the morning. Serve with biscuits!
