Happy Friday 10/27/23
Happy Friday! Any exciting weekend plans? We’re putting together last minute Halloween costumes, starting basketball season, and getting on with Fall. I have to show you this human-sized spider Nana and our kids made as Halloween decoration this year. It’s crafted out of paper mache with bright duct-tape eyes and oh so many hours went into it. Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Some fun links from the week…
Children today have less indenependece…is that fueling a mental health crisis?
Have you started the Lessons in Chemistry limited series yet (here’s the preview)? I loved the book and I love the show!
A bucolic cottage designed with napping in mind. My kind of cottage ;)
Cheap Old Houses the book is out! It’s beautiful and here’s a little preview. Old houses, ya know?! (amazon affiliate, bookshop)
I stocked up on my favorite Seattle soap this week. It’s plant-based, nontoxic, dye-free, and the winter fir scent is getting me excited for the cold months ahead! Code ‘Gritandpolish’ gets you 20% off soap and laundry products. (affiliate)
How cute is this DIY costume idea?!
This week on the blog: we found historic photos of our new house (!!!).
The midlife friend I didn’t know I needed. This brought a tear to my eye.
My oldest asked me to make chocolate cupcakes for his 5th-grade Halloween party next week (which NEVER happens!) and I’m thinking I’ll decorate them like owls or ghosts or bats. So cute!
Just finished this gem of a book this week. What a great listen! (amazon affiliate, indiebound)
Have a good one!
