My 7 year old is harnessing her new found literacy in amazing ways...

The #univeresalcatdistributiomsystem is working overtime. Girl is spayed and vaccinated (thanks Emancipet) and angrily recovering in my office.

This is my first Christmas of my entire life without a #cat. I am really counting on the universal cat distribution system to deliver. 10 days, universe!

This holiday we have just been following what brings us Joy, in fairly ridiculous ways. I have always been very anti-off on the shelf, but this year my 7-year-old wore me down. So we have an elf.

And this darn elf is her whole personality. She loves it so dang much. What's not to love about that??

This donation based rock shop was the highlight of my weekend, and R's too! #witchsky #craftersky

Saturday: craft fair with my girl, jigsaw puzzle, embarrassingly wonderful early bedtime.

Finding shiny rocks was the highlight for sure.

Tonight: cocktail, puzzle, and the cult liter podcast.

Not pictured, the diy project that failed terribly because the drywall in our laundry room is PAPER THIN.

After two years of chaos (pregnancy plus newbornhood) I'm excited to have a new normal.

I miss "slow living" in a "not everything is on fire" kind of way, so I'm trying for a no buy challenge between now and the end of January to start.

Most of the Christmas shopping is done. Let's go!
