Lately…
Why, hello. It has been awhile since I wrote here. It was never meant to be a weekly thing and I think sometimes that’s a good. There’s more to talk about!
Alright, we are in the throes of October which means all things pumpkin and Fall. It is my favorite time of year because I just love the cold crisp mornings and the warm afternoons. Although I wish the daylight wouldn’t be so short.
I’m trying to rewind my brain to see what has happened in the past few weeks since I wrote on here…
So, our townhome is an end unit and when we bought the house, the previous homeowners had a nice little garden on the side of the house. And I’m sure when they first planted everything it looked great, but I literally hate everything they planted, lol - it’s just like generic boxwoods, knockout rose bushes, and this random tree. Anyway, we’re getting everything removed and having new bushes and flowers put in that are native and pollinators. I’m most excited about the butterfly bush!
Our trip to Charlotte, NC is coming and I am so excited. We’ve got our reservations in for a couple restaurants but for the most part, we are just going to wing it because we are staying downtown and our friends have given us an exceptional brewery list that I think will keep us occupied, haha
I finally learned how to play Wingspan. Omg, why did I wait so long? We’ve had the game for over a year and just opened it the other day. It is SO fun. Have you played it before? It looks intense but it’s really not. There’s just a lot of pieces. I think this game was really popular during COVID.
I think we are going electric. With Aaron’s commute and me returning to office, it just makes sense that one of our cars is electric. We are test driving the Model 3 this weekend — do any of you have EV’s? Thoughts?
Okay, I recently discovered this laundry hack and I NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT.
If you have a newer model washer, you may have seen the delay wash feature on it. I have been using it and it is a GAME-CHANGER.
At bedtime before the day I know I’m working from home, I throw in a load of laundry (with detergent and all that jazz) and start the cycle on delay start. I set it to start about an hour before I wake up so that it’s done by the time I wake up and I can throw it in the dryer and start another load if need be. Give it a try. It really helps keep on top of laundry and where has this hack been all my life?!
Current reads…
Oh gosh, I devoured so many books in the past month and there were SO many good ones and there were several bad ones.
They’re all posted on my book account here: @litatthetable_
My favorites from the past month were:
The entire Friend Zone Series (I seriously adore Abby Jimenez)
Sarah’s Key - I just found out they made it into a movie. OMG!
I have a disdain towards Emily Henry and I do not understand the hype lol
Links…
Lululemon has a fleece version of their belt bags and I bought the mustard yellow color (it’s sold out for now) and I’m obsessed! I’ve gotten numerous compliments on it too lol
I’m really into making homemade pizzas right now and I wish I had a pizza oven. I don’t really have space for an Ooni so I was thinking of getting a baking steel that can also be a stovetop griddle!
I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts on my drive to and from work and a recent favorite is this one and this one.
