5 Things on Friday.

Sobbing because we didn’tRead the whole post >>
l sew a gift or make a blanket for Gabe with some train fabric I have. I get to create digital things all the time, but creating something tactile is uniquely gratifying. Do Christmassy things. I made a list of things I want to try to do during the month – fun stuff like seeing SantaRead the whole post >>

This happens every few years – I get sick and tired of dealing with tons of hair,Read the whole post >>

Last weekend, something I’ve been wanting to happen for a long time did: I took Mike and Gabe to see the farm I spent a week at last summer.

walking from Gabe’s preschool to a coffee shop to get work done Although I’ve been working for myself for a few years, I’ve been doing it without a day job for just over a month.
