Happy friYAY Friends!
Whew! This was an interesting week. A week after a short week and the week before vacation always spells chaos. Between getting things ready for Adoption Day and my other daily items on my to do it was a busy but also weirdly productive week. WHICH makes me feel better leaving for a week; even though I know not much would get done anyway because of the holiday.
I shared on Wednesday that I have a podcast-Happy To Be Here and it feels SO good to actually tell people now. I thought I was terrible at keeping secrets but keeping this secret was kinda easy. I am still learning and tweaking how I want the podcast to be- format wise and it really has been a fun adventure. You can listen on Spotify and Anchor FM.
This is probably something that is very niche but I like to organize the apps on my phone so there are only the messaging, phone and camera app on my front page then I swipe up and they are all organized in little groups so its nice and clean looking. Well the other day, within the groups, I decided to do a little cleaning and organizing within the groups and the order I was used to is not there anymore and its taken some time to get used to. HA! As I am typing this out, it sounds ridiculous but its real life and I love sharing those silly things.
I found this image on Instagram from Tiny Buddha Official and I am an early-Christmas-decorator and this is perfect because if I can spread joy even more during this season, WHY NOT?! I will still have turkey’s out but they also might be wearing Santa hats or holding some Christmas item HAHA :

In between all the craziness, I found some really fun articles:
Disneyland’s It’s A Small World more inclusive/// I love this ride and and I love this!
Taylor Swift’s Karma Fan Theory /// THIS.IS.WILD. I can’t even image how this even got started or how long it took to figure out. I can just image the meme of of the guy standing in front of a wall covered in black and white news clippings with strings connecting things, is how this was figured out.
Foster Care Christmas Ad ///Its National Adoption Month and this is such a sweet advert! Be sure to have tissues, it’s going to make you cry.
Life Hacks /// These are some great life hacks. I love the one about having two alarms- I am all for a slow morning.
A Simple Favor Sequel ///Loved the book, loved the movie. Can’t wait to see what the sequel is about.
NJ World Cup Connection ///YAY! I love seeing New Jersey in a positive light! Go Matt Turner!

[[I found that growing up means being honest- about what I want, what I need, what I feel, who I am]]
Good morning! Your picture caught my eye as I looked through those little scrolls on the Friday Favorites link- up. I love the meme you shared about early decorators…I always say something kind of similar, how you never know what someone goes through in life, so why judge? I know I have in the past, but I sure try my best to not be that way now. Adoption day would make me cry every time as well. Anytime I read or hear a story about that, I am a mess. What a beautiful thing! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
It must feel so wonderful to be part of adoption day each year; I'm petty sure I'd tear up too. Early holiday decorating is not for me but I completely understand why some people want to!
