Tuesday Things.
1. These horrible lantern flies are invading our house and yes this is the third week I’ve talked about these disgusting things but let me just tell you I’ve started shooting them down from the ceiling with Max’s nerf gun and it might be the most brilliant idea I’ve had all year.
2. Really need this small batch cheesecake!! How incredible.
3. My current obsession is that wonderful color of green that is out everywhere right now – it’s not quite a military green, but it’s also not forest. I’ve got a jacket and sweatshirt and boots in this green recently! Now I want sneakers. I also painted our mudroom a similar shade (dried thyme by SW!) in the new house.
4. I might start saying swicy now.
5. TV things!! I watched No Hard Feelings last week and wow, really was not a fan. And I love J Law so much! Also watched the Yellowstone marathon of course.
6. I am so ready to wear fall clothes, like give me all the cardigans and jeans and boots.
7. Things that weigh more the longer you carry them. I LOVE THIS.
8. Okay so I am not a true crime documentary or podcast person – I haven’t been able to watch anything scary/real since having kids. But I do like the occasional scam podcast (the scamanda, coco berthman ones, etc) and last week I listened to the Michael Jackson Think Twice podcast. I thought it was pretty well done and while it’s not exactly true crime, it opened up the floodgates to more. Then I listened to one called The Girlfriends (eh, it was okay) but now I’m interested in more. Send me some recs please. They just can’t be too murdery!

Look up the Bug-A-Salt gun! That’s what we use to kill those awful lantern flies. Kid safe and I bet Max would have fun with it too!

Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal
I heard a part two might be coming. I was hooked on this series, partly because we live in the south so I was so intrigued, what is going on with this family?!
Love your blog! Our kids are the same ages and same birthday times so love when you share kid stuff!Â
ok, I LOVE a murder podcast, but when I listen with by Hub I try for something tamer. A recent surprise favorite for us was The Bering (on Audible), which is about a fishing boat that sinks off of Alaska. It was like an edge-of-your seat movie! And Bear Brook was the original series that that got my husband onboard to true crime type podcasts – it is about a serial murderer… but is somehow not tooooo scary or murdery??
We have an electric fly swatter for bugs like that, it works awesome. Plus knowing they are dead is great. I love that color green, We almost want to side our house something similar to that color.
AARP has a podcast that has been going on for a WHILE.  It’s called The Perfect Scam.  I spent the last 10 years of my career working in bank, fraud, and the last three working in fraud against vulnerable populations. What they say, is incredibly accurate, and they talk to the real people it happened to. Highly recommend.
Omg green… totally agree! I am obsessed with the shade of green that Lulu has out now. I want all of the things in that green.Â
Fed Up. Crazy story that I knew nothing about (and the host makes it light and funny). And Sweet Bobby – Such an insane story (scam, not murder at all). Keep us posted on the ones you get into! Always looking for recs :)
You’re doing the right thing about those flies: moving!
True Crime Obsessed! It’s not all murder and serial killers. The hosts watch true crime documentaries and shows and delve into the stories they cover. It manages to be funny and respectful at the same time.Â
