Eek I gotta finish “God of the Woods”.

How fun to see “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” at his theater!!! My husband saw it in theaters 5 times when it first came out. It’s one of his all time favorites and we listen to the soundtrack pretty often. It even has old radio commercials mixed in. ❤️

I wish you two could have experienced it! We also saw it on the anniversary of the Tate murders which was a whole other thing. Before they showed the movie (the version shot on film!) they shared a bunch of exclusive extras, like some commercials -- some real, some fake, but all amazing. Truly an unforgettable experience. And yes, 100% the soundtrack is absolute gold.

If you haven't seen it yet, check out Bad Times at the El Royale! It's not on the same level, but similar vibes and an equally fabulous soundtrack.

Oooo! I had no idea that you could request books to be purchased by one's local library! Mind blown. I'm going to look into that for sure! And I have those amazing watercolor books in mind as Mother's Day gifts for my sis and mom this year...and myself! Love the idea of doing virtual sessions together. Thanks for taking the time to share these gems. You're inspiring me to compile my own list of favorites. Happy finale to 2024. Looking forward to some in person time with you and Kalyn in 2025!

I always thought it was some big drawn out process, but now I’m recommending books left and right. 😂 I hope that it will be an extra sweet library year for your family!

I’m excited for all 2025 has to bring, starting with our special day together!

Thank you! It was a good one. 😊 And I’m sure you’ll agree, getting to write and reflect here on Substack makes me even more appreciative!

The God of the Woods was excellent. I can't wait to hear what you think! Those watercolor books are cool too. Looks like a wonderful holiday season! My new favorite thing: I just discovered Laurel Denise planners. My world has changed.😂

I’m only a few chapters in and already enjoying it!

Yay for planners! I hope that it brings you just as much joy in 2025. 😊 Happy New Year!
