READ October was busy and reading was slow. I finished one book. COOKED I tried a new ravioli dish that we liked okay but isn’t necessarily worth sharing. However, I did bake a nice apple pie for Jon’s birthday that we both loved. It was delicious and I’ll have to share the recipe in a…
1. I picked up a tube of Weleda Light Skin Food* Moisturizer when I was in Germany. I had long wanted to try their stuff, as Weleda is a European Clean Beauty brand with a long-standing reputation. And I am happy to say, I really like this moisturizer. It’s soft, not too thick (there is…
October disappeared on me. Anyone else? I am sure it had to do with the fact that we traveled for the first half of the month, but man, how is it already Halloween-week? LOVING | that I was able to spend some precious time with my parents, my sister, and the munchkins. It feels like…

Even though I am a list person, I am usually not very good at making a bucket list and then trying to check things off during…
Photo by Anne Preble on Unsplash Do you enjoy grocery shopping or do you squarely fall into the camp of grocery store haters? I know so many people that hate going to the store, but for me, it’s the opposite. I actually enjoy grocery shopping and I enjoy the prep process. I still like to be fast…
Phew. Seven books in September. I am liking it and wouldn’t mind for this to continue. I enjoyed all these books, don’t let some of the lower ratings fool you too much.
