Hi friends!
We have been having a tough time transitioning back to real life from honeymoon life! The main problem is we don’t really know what our routine is since our year has just been full of non-routine things. We both work from home and struggle with procrastination (and discipline) so going out to lunch or to a movie or going to pick out a giant pumpkin (we’ve got a sweet 50-pounder in front of our house) always sounds better than working. This weekend we’re planning to buy a big whiteboard for the office and figure out what our daily schedule should be and make goals for the winter.
This week’s links:
Here’s an interesting article about the history of beer and why you can thank Martin Luther the next time you are enjoying a hoppy IPA.
After that history lesson for beer drinkers, unfortunately there’s some bad news. The American Society for Clinical Oncology warns even light drinking can increase cancer risk.
17th century sailors didn’t have the luxury of an opulent cruise ship buffet. Researchers at Texas A&M recreated the foods commonly eaten on ships hundreds of years ago. MMMM hard crackers and salted beef.
Daniel and I watched the movie Ingrid Goes West last night. I think it was a really interesting look at the role social media plays in our lives. The main character becomes obsessed with a woman she sees on Instagram and tries to replicate her life. It was an accurate portrayal of the role of Instagram plays in the lives of so many young women and showed how destructive it can be. We rented it on Amazon but I’m sure it’s available everywhere.

When it comes to cleaning supplies, I like to avoid using harsh chemicals if possible. Recently, Aunt Fannie’s reached out to me asking me to sample some of their natural cleaning products and I thought it was a great opportunity to try them in our new house. They sent me the Aunt Fannie’s Cleaning Vinegar, Aunt Fannie’s FlyPunch, Aunt Fannie’s Cleaning Vinegar Wipes, and Aunt Fannie’s Glass & Window Vinegar Wash.
An important thing to remember is just because something is natural doesn’t mean it’s healthy or it’s not harmful. Aunt Fannie’s only uses safe natural ingredients. The Environmental Working Group gave Aunt Fannie’s products their safest “A” rating.
We were recently dog sitting and had Dee over at our house. She likes to stare out the window and bark at passers by. She leaves quite a mess on the window so I used Aunt Fannie’s Glass & Window Vinegar Wash to clean the glass. It worked well and left a nice citrusy, minty, smell. And I love that I don’t have to worry about there being nasty chemicals left behind for next time Dee jumps on the back of the couch and tries to scare away the mailman.
