Welcome to the weekend. Truth be told, the last few days have all felt like a Saturday with the holiday and all. Hard to believe Thanksgiving has come and gone… I don’t know why, but I continue to be shocked by how quickly the days sneak up on me this time of year!
It’s a sunny day here in Novato, and I’ll be taking it easy today. I’ll be doing some intense Netflixing because there’s a new season of “Selling Sunset” out. 😁
I can already feel my brain melting…
Yes, it’s cheesy, and I don’t really have any interest in the Los Angeles real estate market, but I enjoy it because my brain can completely turn off while I watch it.
After lunch I’m taking Connor ice skating! We went ice skating together for the first time when we were in Tahoe last weekend, and she picked up on it pretty quickly. She’s been eager to get back on the ice ever since, and there’s a temporary ice skating rink at the Northgate Mall nearby in San Rafael, so that’s where we’re going.
Also, before we head out, I’m going to try to not eat this entire box of satsuma oranges I got at Trader Joe’s the other day… DANG! Satsumas are where it’s at, girl. They’re so easy to peel and so soft and juicy… If you see them at the store, grab them! SO GOOD.

I’m loving all the sequins and the energy.
Bridal makeup is my favorite.
Drop that knowledge on me.
But what if we had one of these for humans…

I hope the rest of the weekend treats you well! I hope you have some time to relax.

Girl Satsuma mandarins are my happy place I adore them. I just stocked up myself they showed up at my grocery store for the first time this season while I was doing my last minute Thanksgiving shopping.
They are so delicious and so easy.
I’m psyched to hear Connor likes ice-skating that’s such good exercise and practicing hand eye coordination stuff for littles.
I saw House of Gucci yesterday and loved it. Lady Gaga steals the show!
I’ve never been on ice skates and with my history of injuring myself, it’s probably for the best LOL. It’s snowy here in Michigan right now, which Hettie absolutely loves.
