Tuesday Things.
1. I’m a huge fan of all things peppermint but my faaaavorite drink during the holiday season is an iced eggnog latte. I even like them hot! Needless to say, I’ve been living on them for the last week.
2. Yes I’m all about neon and glitter and unicorn everything but I just cannot get into this whole glitter latte thing! Drinking glitter? Eeeeek.
3. This gingerbread cake is so freaking pretty. Wowza.
4. How do we feel about stirrup pants returning? I’m kind of into it if it’s a workout situation but that’s about it.
5. Are you in full blown Christmas movie mode yet? I’m about to get started annnnd here’s a list of my favorites.
6. TV things! This Is Us is absolutely killing me in this overly emotional state that I’m in. AHHH. I thought the Grey’s episode was ridiculous (wasn’t into that at ALL) but I am sort of into the Scandal situation even though I get confused. At this point I’m basically 100% lost on How to Get Away with Murder. Oh and can’t even watch The Walking Dead right now. It will probably be months before I can again.
7. Pretty sure my “i” on my iPhone has been updated and fixed, but whyyyy did that situation take so long? Like how on earth can they have these phones that do all the things and then have one weird bug with probably the most used letter? What the what.
8. Speaking of phone things, I’m really not feeling all the new insta story filters. They are way too dark/bright/weirdly colored, right?
9. I’m having a majorly difficult time with the time change, probably because I gave birth on that day and then I was awake that entire night! It’s still a complete shock to me that it’s getting dark outside at 4PM.
10. P.S. we’re hosting an amazing holiday giveaway over on Sweet Peas Meals this week! I want to eat it alllll.

You couldn’t get into Greys?!! WHAT! I was like balling crying and my husband walked in and laughed at me 😂
bahahaha! i have been loving it this season but hated this episode with the whole “lookalike character” thing! i don’t know why.
Oh that’s a good point. I kinda blocked that part out bc I loved her winning that award SOOO MUCH hahah
omg! i’d actually even forgot about that part at the end because of the stupid characters but it did get me good!! i was so happy too!
I’m only watching Scandal because I’ve invested in the first 6 seasons so I feel like I might as well see it through to the end but OMG the ending of the episodes the last two weeks has made me excited to watch again! And This Is Us is wonderful but the whole Kevin situation is hard to watch.
PS Sorry for that awful run-on sentence.
could not agree more – it is SO hard to watch!
Love the sound of an iced eggnog latte – definitely going to need to give that a try!
xo, Elisabeth

hhahaahahaha omg that episode of grey’s was THE BEST. the amount of joy i found in meredith winning the harper avery was borderline disgusting. and young yang made me miss cristina SO much. but young izzie was just as annoying as old izzie. and young george…ugh byeeeeee. xo
While almost everything about working from home is the greatest the actual best-best is 2 full months of made for tv Christmas movies. I’m super Type A, with apparantly a lot of time on my hands on Monday mornings, I have an excel spreadsheet of which movies are on which channels by hour/day so I can pick which to watch. Ahhh, nerd.
It’s a big NO on glitter lattes; a friend and I were talking about it over the weekend. Like, where does the glitter go in digestion? Eww.
I just want the third old insta story filter back. New ones suck.
I’m 100% in on Christmas starting asap, especially since I always feels like it flies by way too fast every year! I am also so very with you on the glitter drinks, it remind me of glitter slime as a kid.
I had my son the day before the fall time change, so we were still in the hospital for it, and it totally messed with me. I remember being up pretty much all night because he was cluster feeding and watching the time change, it was the worst. And then when we got home and it got dark at 5pm, I would lose it about every night. It eventually went away, but it was a terrible transition.
Enjoy your newborn stage, especially the chilly fall weather!
I did not know about stirrup pants coming back! I don’t think I can’t get behind it though lol. I definitely owned several pair as a kid. But now they sound so uncomfortable having that strap under your foot.

I’ve been trying to hold out on eggnog lattes because I generally only allow myself one per year but that picture…omg. Im leaving for work early so I can get one tomorrow. And then I may have like 17 more…
We really lucked out on the time change. We took the kids out to tailgate at the football game and got home late. Put them to bed at least an hour late and haven’t had a problem at all. (My oldest is two weeks older than Max and my baby is 13 months old, for reference.)
Do you remember the movie “All I want for Christmas” from the 90s? Little Ethan Embry (years before that thing you do and can’t hardly wait) and tiny Thora Birch. It’s still one of my favorites. That and White Christmas. My husband loves A Christmas Story but I really don’t. My mom loves The Family Man. And of course, we all love Die Hard.
Can we talk about how VELOUR TRACKSUITS are suddenly back too?! I haven’t actually seen them ON any person yet but I see them FOR SALE in places like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales. What the what to THAT!
Coworkers and I listed off our fav Christmas movies today and mine are: A Christmas Story, Die Hard, Home Alone, Elf and Nightmare Before Christmas! Turns out one of my coworkers also has never seen Love Actually so we’re asking them to change that ASAP!
I need an eggnog latte stat. And more Emilia updates :)
I was hoping for your take on the Taylor Swift album! ;) I actually really like it!
I don’t do coffee drinks, but our local burger chain does eggnog milkshakes. and that sounds so good right now (heck, it’s 9:34 am PST.. that’s appropriate, right?! )
How do we feel about stirrup pants coming back? no. no. no. no. I lived through it the first time. It wasn’t good then, either. along with the velour track suits (mentioned by someone in the thread above)? People! just say no!
I know you have a dislike of A Christmas Story, but that’s pretty much my fave. I just love that the dad is sort of gruff but he’s not an idiot and he loves his family (unlike so many movies/tv shows in general where the father of the family is shown to be a complete dunce or just an ass – always an extreme) Then Elf and Love, Actually. Bridget Jones always feels ‘holiday’ to me, as well and White Christmas is my favorite classic. We always wait until December 1st to start the rounds of holiday movies and things like Frosty. I’m on the countdown
TV Things! This Is Us… not feeling quite as engaged this season, BUT. still it manages to make me tear up (and I’m not pregnant or postpartum LOL) I gave up on HTGAWM. I just can’t.
the iPhone thing is so dumb. I agree.. they can make it do all these amazing things, but couldn’t fix this sooner? I wasn’t having any issues with the ‘I’ being the A thing until like.. the past week. I have no idea how that was that I lucked out that long and luckily there’s a fix finally.
time change.. well, as I remind everyone.. it’s not like it wouldn’t be dark anyway. it’s just dark and miserable this time of year. not a fan of late fall/winter at all. zero. don’t like the cold. don’t like the dark. blah.
Stirrup pants. Gosh when I was younger I remember I was convinced that you wore the stirrup on the outside of the shoe, and my mother could not convince me otherwise. LOL
If are not already into Shameless than you have got to binge watch on Netflix. I swear its the one show I can watch over and over.
I am 100% with you on the glitter drinks. I saw it pop up in my feed and I couldn’t even watch the video because it was making me gaggy. Glitter is to be worn and decorated with, not consumed!
