Thoughts from a Thursday

-How are you all? I’m almost too tired to think. I can’t even imagine how these reporters feel staying up late into the night for days. Their concealer must must be amazing.

-We had a taste of winter weather over here, but I’m excited for a weekend back in the 70’s. It’s hard thinking about winter knowing that indoor activities aren’t really an option this year.

-We had a fun time at the zoo last weekend. We celebrated my dad’s birthday and Emerson saw her first live lion after being obsessed with the Lion King for the past year.

-After almost a year of waiting, Beautycounter deodorant is here! The coconut scent is my fav.

-Avery is either grumpy or hilarious all the time right now. I think she’s had a big mental leap because she’s starting to walk around the house and said dog for the first time.

-Halloween totally exceeded my expectations this year. Our neighborhood cancelled the formal parade and there were rumors of no trick-or-treating on Nextdoor. But people got creative by hanging candy on trees and setting up tables with little bags and it ended up being a wonderful experience for Emerson. I enjoyed sipping bourbon and people watching (something I miss!).

-Send some good casserole recipes my way. I need some winter/Sunday meal prep ideas to save time during the week.
