There is much to be grateful for ❤️ What has been life-giving for you recently?
The one day of the year when we are a house divided. Fight on, Trojans ✌🏼🏈🏟️
Happy November! Our Thanksgiving tree is up, topped by our pal Scarecrow Sam (like Elf on the Shelf, but less of a creep). We have much to be grateful for. All month long, we add notes of gratitude to the tree, then read the notes together on Thanksgiving. P.S. There's an open invite to you if you want to join us for Thanksgiving.
Tidying up Alex’s closet. First, we make two piles: keep and regift/donate/recycle. Then we go through each “keep” item, and fold or hang. We organize items by type and color, and file them Konmari-style in the drawers. Voilà, no more random piles of laundry on the floor!
Interviewing people I love and respect has been such a joy. In this month’s Replenish interview, I had a chance to connect with my fabulous friend, Brianna Wilkerson. Fun fact: Brianna and I got to spend one summer in Manila, Philippines. Once you travel together, sleep in the same bed, and basically sit on each other’s lap in a Filipino jeepney, you’re bonded for life.
Happy November! Starting today I’m doing a No Buy November - a month of not buying anything new that isn’t essential. This includes clothes, accessories, shoes. And (ouch) books. That one hurts a bit to do. But if you’ve seen our bookshelves, you’re probably like, yeah good call.
