We’re a week out from the birthday and in the depths of all things Thanksgiving. We’ve got Wicked movie plans, craft ideas, holiday candles to burn, homemade cinnamon rolls made (as part of 36 Things I Want to Try at 36) and family time to be had. Looking forward to all the food & festivities ahead. Oh, and all the snow!!! ❄️

1. Whitney told me I wasn’t unique in my request when I told her I wanted her to make me “mauve-alous” but I tried to be so clever. Updated some headshots and love love love.

2. I’ve made this chili five times the last couple months, double batches included. I’m obsessed!!

3. We did a successful visit to the movie theater as a family to see Zootopia! Penelope does well but our almost 3 year old was a toss up. I’m so glad we brought his headphones as he’s sensitive to sound. And the popcorn was the perfect distraction.

4. Nuuly is saving me for a wedding next weekend in Mexico. This was my favorite favorite box! I kept the Colettes which are hands down my jeans of choice.

5. I had an “ew” experience with matcha until I had Horizon Line’s summer menu item with mango sticky rice flavor and then everything changed, mostly my eating out budget. 😌 When they went to their fall menu, I’ll admit I was nervous. But the Glow On is truly remarkable and I insist, you should try it.

Off to Disney on Ice with the fam! 🧊
