It’s the most wonderful time of yeeeear! And by wonderful, I mean busy as heck. This past week it seems like every minute has been accounted for with plans, but here’s what’s new with us:

+ We started using Blue Apron! We opted for the three meals per week plan (for two people) which is $60 per week. We just received our sixth box and overall we’ve been quite pleased – despite a few shipping hiccups. So far I’m a fan because there are two things I don’t like: meal planning and grocery shopping, and this elevates both of these things. Plus, we’re not picky eaters, but I’m also not an adventurous cook so it’s been fun to try things I normally would never think to make. I’ve been posting some of my adventures with Blue Apron on Snapchat (username: sarah-fortune), which shows my love, as well as my frustrations with the service (I may do a post soon about my full, unsponsored, experience and how to adjust for a kid-friendly portion).

+ We went to The Little Craft Show! I was lucky enough to go to the VIP function the night before opening day, where I snagged a goodie bag full of fun stuff. We went back on Saturday too, where we picked up another few gifts (and maybe some things for myself).

+ Iris saw Santa Claus and wrote him a letter too!

+ Real life happened: bad moods (her) and wine (me). Annnnd someone got a stomach bug (her). And somebody cleaned it up (me). And guess who got more wine (ME).

Now I just have to pull all my efforts into finishing my Christmas shopping, getting my long to-do list checked off at work before the holiday break, and then I’ll be good and ready for Christmas. PS – I’m posting a few gift ideas of things we love this week, so stay tuned.
