Hi Hannah! Nice to meet you!

I used to kill all plants but have finally been able to keep some alive. I have several now and I don’t know that they are all thriving but they are certainly alive. I don’t even know that I’ve done anything except, you know pay more attention to watering them and move them around if they seem to need more sun. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanksgiving at our house with 39 people went very well! It was nice to have my family all together.

Christmas tree and decor are up at our house and it makes ms so happy. We did a drive thru light display last night that my husband’s work puts on and it is spectacular! And I’ve watched some Hallmark Christmas movies (I know - I can’t help it. I thought I had stopped but went back to them. They’re so easy to have on while doing other things). We have watched some non Hallmark ones already too, so getting into that Christmas spirit.

Hello all! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been in the comments but I’m at home for virtual continuing education today so I’ve got all the time in the world!

Hi Hannah! Thanks for taking the reins this week! Re: houseplants, my best recommendation is to follow Happy Happy Houseplant on Instagram. She has all kinds of tips and tricks. My second recommendation is to get her plant food. You add it to the water every time you water and when I tell you this stuff is good...I have eight live plants in my house, two of them being fiddle leaf fig trees. Only one of them is not thriving and I’m 100% sure that is because it is small, was not watered by my husband while I was gone last week, AND it needs a repot. Seriously though, give her a follow and check out her highlights (she has them about watering and planters and all kinds of helpful things).

We are in a time of year that leaves me super conflicted. I love the twinkle lights and decorations and Hallmark movies (don’t judge-it’s literally the only time my anxious brain gives it a freaking rest), and the idea of downtime with my family that lives in my house. BUT. Then there’s the flip side of LOTS of travel, family who refuses to make plans so that we can make plans, a super full calendar (full of mostly fun stuff but still more full than I prefer), and this year there seems to be something else going on with my brain that’s making me not sleep and be more anxious. I’m not sure what my point is. Maybe just that if anyone else is conflicted, I’m right there with you.

I don’t have much else to report and I need to go try to log in to my computer (which ended up taking 45 minutes and a call with tech support yesterday🙄). I am trying to finish a Wattle and Loop project while I’m watching but also will try to check back in here later! Happy Friday!
