It's been a bit of a "when it rains, it pours" kind of season over here. In the past few months, we've dealt with significant van issues that eventually led us to buy a whole new vehicle. The roof we had replaced not too long ago needed to be completely redone… only to start leaking again just days later. Our chimney needed masonry work. Our washer and dryer finally gave out. Then we found a leaking pipe inside a wall, which left one of our bathrooms and a bedroom unusable while insurance gives us the run around. And just to keep things interesting, our second toilet broke... and then the first bathroom pipe gave out again.
At this point, we’re just hoping the house doesn’t literally fall down. Say a prayer for us.

TSwift’s speaking voice has evolved along with her eras. This doesn’t seem so unique to her, and more a natural evolution many of us go through in different contexts.
DIY Herbal Bath Salts. You may or may not get this from me for Christmas 🎄
 Emma M Lion series by Beth BrowerMy Goodreads friends span many years and context of my life… and still almost everyone I know is reading Emma M Lion (as they should). This is a cozy, character-focused, Victorian series. The touches of magical realism bring levity and whimsy, and it's undeniably fun (if completely unrealistic) that nearly every man Emma encounters seems at least a little bit in love with her. The entire series is available on Kindle Unlimited! |  DONDI Season 2I can't believe I haven't talked about Deal or No Deal Island Season 2 yet. It's almost as unbelievable as the fact that a Deal or No Deal spinoff show has become a genuinely great competition watch. Season 2 introduced me to probably my favorite reality contestant of all time (golden god DG!), delivered some legendary moments from Parvati, and capped it all off with a wild finale that included a surprise jury twist that brought some incredibly satisfying justice. Honestly, just such a fun ride. |

Beehiiv. Interested in starting your own newsletter? It feels like this platform flies under the radar but I’ve enjoyed it more than any other tool! 🐝
Paper Airplane Launcher. My 5yo and his cousin are apparently both loving paper airplanes right now! There’s some great books/kits out there and this launcher is a fun accessory. 🛫
Rolling Storage Cart. I love this for LEGO organization, and I’m sad we’re starting to outgrow it. 🧰
Flexible Claw Clip. OMG. I haven’t actually got this yet but with the amount of clips I break it feels worth the investment. 💇🏽♀️
