Halloween has come and gone! Ours was really great. The weather was perfect–not so cold that you felt like you had to put a jacket over the costume (or, better yet, somehow shove one underneath those onesie polyester costumes like you’re packing a sausage link). Also, Anders was so, so adorable. He’d say trick-or-treat so happily at every house and then his thank you, which always sounds more like, “geh you!” Parker was a black power ranger, and the battle axe was a last minute add-on. Anyway, hope yours were great and you have a good weekend!
Some weekend reading…
Are you guys familiar with Cotopaxi yet? (Steve loves his Do Good shirt!) Really great, B-corp company, coolest clothing. Love these leggings and the whole company.
This classy throw on sweater/jacket is beautiful.
Lukah’s story is really hard, and really sad, but I’m sharing in case anyone out there can help in any way. Here is the Go Fund Me page for the family as well.
I was at a friend’s house the other day and kept getting subtle wafts of Christmas–it was this candle!
Time to make this soup again.
I think this blouse would be great at a holiday party.
I’ve been making egg drop soup for breakfast a lot lately. It’s so nice in the cool weather and is my favorite way to eat eggs (I eat a lot of eggs, and I get bored of scrambled, fried, scrambled, fried–don’t care for poached or sunny side up!). It can be as elaborate or as simple as you want–see Sara’s recipe! Sometimes I just do broth and drop three eggs in, whisk, salt, and be done! I love it when I have cilantro on hand and a big glug of sesame oil though.
A shop completely full of cozy, winter socks.
The tragedy of Saudi Arabia’s war. This is a difficult read.
I couldn’t agree more with the outcome of this jarred pasta sauce taste test (Rao’s really is the best; it’s also sold at Costco. Win.).
Simple and beautiful coordinates bracelet.
Loved this video (and love this company).
See you next week!
Ah, I’ve been wanting new socks! Can’t wait to check out the shop you linked! 🙂

Poor Steve. He looks like he is in pain sitting there with you. How embarrassing.
I assume you meant to leave this on the family bed video?
We know well (you probably do too) at this point that most nonsense like your above comment is autobiography. Sorry something’s amiss in your own life that you felt the need to take to my blog with that comment. In the future, don’t project your shit onto me. There’s other places on the internet where you can find likeminded mean girls. My blog is not one of them. Go there to find your people.
Well said Bridget. No to the positivity vampires. Keep doing what you’re doing x
Ditto. Love this post, the co-sleeping video, and all your thoughtful contributions to the web & IG.
As for these links, I wish there were a way to smell that candle through my screen!
Agree!
I’m so grateful for the egg drop soup recipe. I’ve been struggling to find a breakfast I feel like eating during the cold months, and this one sounds PERFECT! Quick, simple, and super nourishing. I don’t know why I never thought of this before, but I’m definitely trying it right away 🙂
it is theeee best! i make it at least a few times a week for breakfast when it’s cold!
Yikes why do people feel the need to be so ugly!!! I often wonder how people have time to troll around the internet and to make such ugly comments especially if that person doesn’t follow your blog? No life I suppose.
Anyways on to today’s post, those socks look comfy and that candles container is so pretty as well!!
Oh my- I love Rao’s sauce! I started buying it a few years ago when I looked at the ingredients and it was all whole foods that I recognized. I was willing to pay more (although where I live it’s only $6-$7 a jar- not $9!). What’s funny is my college son just came home a few weeks ago and he said he was buying some pasta sauce while at school, and looked at the one that I always buy….buuuut decide the price tag was a little too hefty, so he bought Ragu. I told him, I know, I know. But you get what you pay for! Quality ingredients cost more! 🙂
it can be so expensive, it’s true. i find it on sale a lot buuuut found it at costco too! hurrah!
