This Saturday is my birthday! Tonight I’m going out to dinner with friends. Tomorrow we’ll celebrate as a family. I’m excited. Throwback to last year. I’m obsessed with Anders but I sure do miss that belly.
Christmas party season is coming. How to make a cheese plate. (I don’t know the first thing.)
Enjoying the winter instead of enduring it. The Norwegians are onto something. Also, the whole thing about, “There’s no bad weather, there’s bad clothes” is certainly a good motto (though, after surviving last winter, I’d say there is sometimes… bad weather). We just got Parker this jacket with this in mind (at that price, I hope both he and Anders wear it!).
I don’t actually listen to this podcast, but since a lot of you probably do, for the Serial fans.
Do you oil pull? (William is prone to cavities, and has been oil pulling for at least ten minutes every day. He is the loudest swisher when he does. Good luck hearing the TV over his swishing!)
This new movie with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie looks interesting.
The best hikes in the world. Amazing.
Have a good weekend!
Oh my, so excited about the amazon book list!
My husband is from Denmark, and we just took our infant twins. We stocked up on all sorts of outdoor clothes for them, since Danes, and all Scandinavians, I think, believe kids need fresh air and leave their babies outside to nap, even in the middle of winter. My daughter has never been a big napper, but when we have her outside on our porch all bundled, she'll often sleep for an hour or two! It definitely is a different relationship with weather and dark, but I'm definitely learning to appreciate it (and longer naps!)
Happy birthday Bridget and enjoy your birthday weekend!
Happy Birthday! I just wanted to say I like you so much. You make me want to be a cooler version of myself. Have a great weekend!
Happy Birthday Bridget – I hope you have a wonderful Birthday filled with lots of love.
thank you licia!
Ok wait. I need more information about oil pulling. What does William think? Is it totally disgusting and did he gag at all when he started doing it? Or is it totally normal and feel like swishing water? I NEED TO KNOW! 🙂
he doesn't mind it — he just swishes while he showers and/or watches tv! i've done it (ONCE) and it wasn't too bad. i mostly don't do it because it's really hard for a mom not to speak for 20 straight minutes!!
I tried oil pulling a few weeks back and really liked it (I used coconut oil). I'm just a bit too lazy to do it regularly. Apparently you need to do it for 20 minutes for it to make a difference. Have you read up on that at all? Everywhere I researched it said min of 20 minutes (which is quite a long time early in the morning…), but maybe 10 minutes is better than nothing?
Happy birthday! I love that rug, where is it from?
