  November 1st I packed up all the Halloween. I started my favorite holiday movie watching of The Family Stone. The light always changes this month, it floods in bright and early every morning. We had to repair our double oven and buy a new dryer this month which meant no fun Thanksgiving trip this year.  Sometimes adulting really sucks! Brooklyn had her last middle school cross country race We watched our girl race and then went on a day date to a pretty winery to grab wine and lunch. Found the perfect holiday slippers for myself. My furbabies hanging out wit ..read more
