Despite all the baking I did for Thanksgiving, none of it lasted long enough to grab a photo, so instead I snapped a pic of Will getting his hands on the scones I baked yesterday for breakfast (cheddar and chive scones that were served alongside runny eggs… delicious). We’ve had a very cozy past couple of days, mostly hankering down instead and snuggling up. It’s been a very welcome weekend of rest, and I’ve taken the time to do nothing and stay up later than usual, but I also feel like I’ve had the chance to stay on top of all the deadlines coming up in the final weeks of the semester.
Here’s what else I’ve been up to this week:
What I’m Reading this Week
I think I’m one of the ones who is excited Instagram is getting rid of “likes.”
Which is greener: a real or a fake Christmas tree?
On my Thanksgiving menu this year was this mind-blowing pumpkin pie — there’s no going back after this one.
Goodreads’ voting is in the final round.
I’ve had a few people recommend these Netflix comedy specials (because having young kids is both funny and so intense that we need multiple comedy specials): The New One and Lobby Baby. I also read Ali Wong’s book, Dear Girls, this week, so it feels like a bit of a theme.
