Happy Friday 10/25/19
Happy Friday! I’m so glad we made it to the weekend! This week felt long. Something to do with the kitchen reno that just won’t seem to quit, a stollen credit card, and a general ‘off’ feeling that I couldn’t quite shake. It left me asking Garrett, “how do we simplify’? How do we spend more time on the things that matter (see image below) and less on the things that don’t? Do you ask yourself that, too?

So…apparently you can leave Fall leaves on your grass (with a little bit of upfront work)! Or make a protective mulch for your landscaping. Or...well there are so many great uses for your leaves! (almanac)
Your job will never love you back. This one made me laugh, but it’s also SO true. (nytimes)
