🫠 I live in a swing state and am so dang ready for election season to be over because of the nonstop tv ads and mailers, but I’m also terrified for the election to be over. My husband and I already mailed in our ballots and I’m trying to find some peace in knowing that we did our part, but it doesn’t feel like much.
📺 We’re currently watching Only Murders in the Building, Agatha All Along, and the GBBO - this might be our best October of shows ever! Highly recommend all three.
☕️ A sentence I never thought I’d type: I’m obsessed with this mushroom coffee!
A coworker recommended it after I mentioned that I had to give up caffeine a few years ago, and my beloved decaf teas just haven’t been cutting it in the morning lately. It tastes great (I drink it with vanilla oat milk creamer) and gives me energy without any crash or jitters!
📖 The Plan by Kendra Adachi is exactly what I need right now and I just want to adopt her as my big sister. 😭
Thank you so much, Erin! Your support means the world.
My treasures:
Reading- I started online university at Buena Vista University this week! It has been a dream many years in the making, so I am devouring social psychology (my minor is in sociology) and attempting to understand literary theory (my major is in English). I am also making time to read The Small and The Mighty by the wonderful Sharon McMahon and An Offer From A Gentleman by Julia Quinn. (I can't wait for Luke Thompson's season of Bridgerton!)
Watching- I haven't had time to watch much tv this week but I am developing a fascination with the moon and the night sky so I've been watching/paying attention to those. It's nice to be reminded that there is something bigger than us during election season.
Eating- Soup! Tis the season for delicious bowls of soup and crusty bread. I highly recommend Magnolia magazine for fall recipes. I also want to bake some of Joanna Gaines' bars for election night.
Hello and happy Friday!!! I will be traveling from Nov 2-5 for a girls trip to Mystic, CT. I’ve already voted, but I think it will be pretty wild to be in the airport and on a plane for most of Election Day.
If anyone has any Mystic, CT recommendations let me know! I’m so excited for some girl time and to experience a New England fall for the first time!
I will definitely check out the song “belief is hard” cause whew lately that is absolutely true.
Treasure this morning is the cbs mornings segment “kindness 101” kids in the world have such loving hearts. Today’s segment was about kids fundraising for an inclusive playground so their classmates who are in wheel chairs to be able to play. I sat here crying 😭. I wish adults never got to taint kids with meanness.
The weeks after Election Day will be so wild. I’ll need tons of snacks and wine 😫
Re: the last meme, I decided that I am going to throw a Election non-watching party on November 5th. Phones are put in a bowl at the door and we enjoy an evening of phone free things--snacks, crafts, board games, karaoke and whatever else anyone brings to share. The most mentally capable are allowed to check their phones every hour or so if they wish so we're not completely in the dark.
❤️ Andrew freaking Garfield. MY HEART.

I have mixed feelings about Wicked, but I'm 100% here for all things Jonathan Bailey.
