Hi! How are you all doing?
We’ve been cozied up on the couch for the past two weeks — as much as possible with a lively toddler in the house. Yesterday I finally got the three of us out of the house (it took a solid 3.5 hours to get ready), and it was so nice to be out for a bit.
In case you missed it, I posted four favorite gift guides this week. There’s a kitchen gift guide, a guide for her, one for him, and my favorite: stocking stuffers under $25. If you’re shopping for the holidays, those are full of great ideas.
I’ve also been sharing updates about Emilia on the baby page. Those posts don’t go out in the daily or weekly emails or RSS because I know not everyone follows baby content, so if you’re interested check that page weekly for new updates.
Thank you so much for all the love and support. I’d love to hear what you’re planning for Thanksgiving!
