Tuesday Things.
1. Oh yes. When the small things are everything.
2. Last week I put on lipstick and Emilia looked at my face and goes “but mama what’s that?!”, “mama what IS that?!” – so yeah, quarantine is going great and apparently I look like a slob every day!
3. 12 morning hacks for a calmer day. I love all of these. And I’m seriously considering buying an old school coffee pot. Man 2020 is insane.
4. Eddie told me this weekend that he is so over mexican food. WHAT. This does not compute. I can never imagine being in that situation.
5. Considering the above, I have to figure out a way to make tacos tonight for dinner that Eddie will eat!
6. I’ve totally been sucked into a few of these before: the best wikipedia articles that will send you down a rabbit hole!
7. TV things!! We are still loving the Last Dance so much! Feels like a good two hours of nostalgia, you know? I watched Run, it’s good but kinda all over the place for me. I tried to watch Outerbanks and I just can’t get into it, even though Charles Esten (who I LOVE!) is in it. Up next: Unorthodox!
8. Please tell me you’re seen all the articles on the murder hornets? The thought alone is basically ruining my life because we have a wasp problem in our house every year and I absolutely loathe bugs. I cannot handle it. How is this real life.
9. All I need is Nancy Meyers’ kitchen.
10. Thank you for coming to #458 of my rambles… now have you joined our book club yet?!

#8 = Yep. I’m never leaving the house again.
This whole post cracked me up! I love your blog! My two year old pointed to my eyelashes that had mascara on them for the first time in 2 months and said “eye boo boos”? kids, they keep ya humble ;)
Mosquitos kill more people than any other animal and they’re drawn to me! I think I can survive murder hornets.
Omg UnOrthodox is SO good! We watched it all in one sitting!
Yesssss! Me too! I loved it, and can’t wait to read the memoir it’s based on now. The acting and the research into the culture was outstanding.
#3 – We have had a Keurig coffee pot with a timer for 8 years and we love making a big pot every day. I just waltz (OK stumble) into the kitchen at 6am to make breakfast for the two bottomless pits I’m raising, and it’s just sitting there waiting for me! I hate hate hate Keurig. I love filling my half cup with more hot and then more hot and before you know it I’ve had all the coffeeeee!
OK we’ve had a CUISINART not Keurig. That’s very confusing…
Same!! I’ve had a Cuisinart grind n brew for 12 years and its amaaaazing. It grinds the beans fresh when the timer goes off in the morning – the coffee is perfect
I read the book for your bookclub in one day, I couldn’t put it down! Such a good summer read, and I really liked the characters, especially after a series of books with weaker or undeveloped so having a female character like Sloan was refreshing – great choice!
Ramble away – we need to know that we’re not alone! Some of these posts are hysterical but mostly true for all of us. Yeah, that kitchen is to die for – 2 islands even. I have one fairly large one that I couldn’t do without. One really bad thing that has happened in this craziness is that I desperately NEED a haircut. I can cut hair, just not my own. So I manage what I can and then my husband cuts the rest…so far, not too bad. And I take care of his.
Old school coffee pot has been a game changer for me!!! I absolutely love it. I actually enjoy the whole process and find it pretty therapeutic ha!
My cousin studies wildlife and bees on the west coast. They’re trying to contain them. They are so scary!
Hi Jessica,
Random question- my daughter will be 2 in July. What do you use in her hair? Do you have tiny hairbands that you love? Thanks!
murder bees. ugh ! we also have a bee problem at our new home the past 2 years. this weekend we killed 10 and it barely touched the surface. i will probably have to have a pest control company come. they are making nests high up in the like pinnacles of the house, behind the shutters, etc. they are all over my flower beds so im unable to weed right now. its crazy. our old house it really wants a problem so im a bit perplexed ? bumble bees im good with, wasps, yellow jackets, etc nope !
i also love the last dance. its so long ago i almost dont remember things that happened so it almost seems like new again ! i really havent watched a ton of tv lately but am looking forward to next season of dead to me on netflix !!! is it bad that some of my goals are to watch more tv ? i have super fomo when people talk about tv. i feel like i have never seen anything. i did see tiger king though so clearly that was 10 hrs of my life well spent LOL :)
i love your ramblings.
We only drink old school coffee pot coffee here, and it’s the best! Agree that something about making it is just very therapeutic. I love the sound and smell of a whole pot brewing. Keurig coffee just tastes like hot water to me.
Outer Banks got really good around episode 5/6- my fam loved it, and we’re hoping they film Season 2! Also highly recommend Derry Girls if you haven’t watched already – so cute and hilarious.
Loved Never Have I Ever on Netflix!
The hornets frighten me. Last year I got stung by a yellow jacket, in the middle of the night, in my bedroom. This sting required medical attention for cellulitis. Stinging bugs terrify me.
I live in Washington state where the murder bees are and am absolutely terrified :( Considering staying inside forever
Um what about Billions! It came back on Sunday and I need opinions!
