November has been a great month of laid back afternoons, midnight mayhem with NLW, and quite a few outings! We celebrated two separate Thanksgiving meals with friends, went to the Woodland Park Zoo to see
Zeya and Ila, and enjoyed our first
PEPS meeting; plus I experienced a dueling piano bar for a friend's birthday, soaked up Seattle Rep's hit show
In The Heights, and made it to my book club! We're still figuring out infant days and every time I leave the house I think "this could be a complete disaster or this could be fine." A new normal for sure!
Here's some other things I've enjoyed lately:
Watching | Two Netflix documentaries: "Trump: An American Dream" and "
Bobby Kennedy for President." Viewing these back to back was actually quite interesting and only highlighted the opposing values and motivations behind their political careers and what they considered "success". I didn't actually know much about RFK going into it and had so much respect and admiration for him after finishing the series. I cannot say the same for Donald Trump.
On a different note, we also started the
"Dogs" documentary on Netflix - we were in tears almost the entire first episode.
Eating | Friends have been so kind to bring meals to us as we adjust to life as a family of three. We're also getting by on frozen soups our moms made while they were in town, making batch meals, Blue Apron, and getting take out, including Dick's Burgers and Teriyaki Bowl :)
Reading | I'm still working on my
classics list, currently exploring Prince Edward Island through the eyes of a young red-headed girl. Right now I also have
"Parenting" by Paul David Tripp open and
"Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng checked out per a friend's recommendation.
Listening | Need to smile? Check out
"Emotional Robot" by Casper Babypants. So clever and witty!
December is always a fun-filled time of year with family, Christmas celebrations, and sweet treats. I'm looking forward to the
Urban Craft Uprising this weekend and our two week stint in Connecticut with family!
Merry and bright,
